Custom Made Badges
If you have an awesome brand, with unique colours and style, you need custom badges to reflect your custom thing.
You can work with our staff to create your ultimate badge, or you can check out our badge design studio and have a go at creating your custom badges.
A custom design badge also lowers the risk of being the same as others. Much like stock photography, if you choose a generic-looking badge, you may bump into someone else wearing the same badge style.
How To Make a Custom Badge?
It is one thing to want the best custom badge ever, but you need to consider the design, the colour and how big the badge will be. You don’t want a badge as large as your hand if it overpowers your uniform or looks a bit too ridiculous. Nor do you want a badge so small it is hard to read.
Consider font size and font colour, especially when compared to the background colour of the badge and with what you will be wearing.
We have a tutorial video you can watch to get an idea of what good design looks like. Or you can have a chat with one of our staff about design and branding and what you want your badges to say.
How To Use The Badge Design Studio?
The design studio, for each size of badge, might look intimidating, but it is simple and fun to use
Start with a video tutorial to understand the toolset.
Understand that the white circle is the main space where your badge imagery will be displayed. The grey circle is the ‘bleed area’, which wraps around the sides of a badge. You don’t want your main image or message in that grey circle. For more information about bleed, visit our bleed guide.
If you have an image, you can import it from your computer, lay it in the circle, and click & drag it to where you want it displayed. You can tilt it and perform other little tricks too.
Play with the buttons on the right-hand side- add some clipart backgrounds, or some text, changing the font type and font size. Or TILT the item, or the red button will delete it from your badge design.
You can save your design, and revisit it whenever you want to.
How To Design a Badge?
Designing badges with our custom badge designer is great. You can also use Canva to design fabulous badges for you and your team. We created a Canva video tutorial if you’d like more information.
Consider how large the badge is and where it will be pinned. You don’t want a lot of words in a small font. Your message will be hard to read.
Similarly, if your uniform is a shade of red, having a red coloured badge, you may lose the badge in the background fashion.
Think about how the font colour works with the badge colour. Contrast colours are awesome, bright colours too.
If you need it, our team of designers and badge makers can help you out and lend a hand to give you badges that stand out and shine.
