I haven't seen the new new ones, but the re-designed MCP ones radiated 'cheap'.
The old MCP wallet card was good for de-icing windscreens but the new one is really flimsy and you can't even spring the latch to your granny's front door with it.

 

I haven't seen them either, but it might change still. I am MCT from 2000 up to now and the (yearly) MCT cert was also very simple in 2006. I just recentle got my cert for 2007 and was back to the old style. And better still, there was also a 2006 cert in the old style added .

 

you mind taking some pics so we can see please?

 

Mate, I thought the old MCP and MCSA packs seemed cheap. I was very disappointed when I got my MCP certificate as the paper and quality was really crap compared to the CompTIA certs. They actually feel like quality embossed paper and also look good!

I'll have a look at the new one when I'm back at work, but I'm not expecting much if you think they are worse than the old ones.

 

Uck!!

I don't like the colour scheme much!!
Green and red Hmmm that could of picked nicer colours

Also lets face it, the certs look cheap and nasty, for the money paid I would of expected a professional looking cert with a fancy hologram on it. Not something that looks like it's been knocked up in Word Document in 5 minutes!

You know they could of used Adobe photoshop to produce something, well...more professional!

 

Agreed that they look quite horrible! Puts a little damper on it all to be honest, who in the world would design them being that horrible, and who would then say " Yeah, excellent mate, look brill" ?

 

Well looking at those pictures you've posted Ken, it's really an insult to all the hard work that folks have put into gaining these certs that look like they've been knocked up in 2 seconds in word.

 

I still think that about my degree certificate that's printed on some fancy textured paper, and has a individually stamped emboss of the uni's motif, but other than that its a Word Document again put through mail merge - really disheartening after 3 years hard work!

 

Are the new ones even on a standard paper/photo size? Try fitting them into a frame!

 

wow they changed pretty much everything didnt they. My cert card and certificate is blue and white.

 

I agree mines the same, most of my mates have degrees with a coat of arms of the University. Mines a large brown circle with three lines on it, printed (deskjet) on a fancy water marked paper.

In fact the coffee mug (with the University Logo) I bought from the student union shop looks more impressive than the degree

 

I bet yours (the Degree) has the coat of arms on!!

 

Blue and White eh? Now that's more like it!

 

Microsoft changes their style of certs every now and then.

 

Yeah like the change of the weather

Speaking of which has anyone seen a large yellow thing in the sky known as the sun???

Where into July now and I am still waiting for the hot sunny weather??
