Yellow Is Non-Negotiable
December 5 commemoratives use yellow ribbon and accent — King Rama IX's color, a Monday-born king. Any other color choice on a Father's Day plaque commemorating the late king reads as inappropriate. This is a category where convention is the entire message; creative interpretation has no place here.
Citation Should Quote, Not Paraphrase
Plaques commemorating King Rama IX often include a quoted royal saying. Quote directly from official sources — paraphrasing reads as inaccurate. The Office of the Royal Society maintains official quotation collections; pick a documented line and engrave it word-for-word.
