International Dot Day Resources

To help promote your International Dot Day festivities, we've created many free resources - including posters and certificates in many languages. These can be used for educational, non-commercial purposes.

Don’t see you language, send us the translation, and we’ll create the poster for you!

Beware of unauthorized merchandise you might see that uses our logo and artwork. Dot Day is all about the mission of promoting positive, purposeful creativity. Peter H. Reynolds shares his Dot Day art and handwriting for educational, non-commercial purposes only.
