Badge designer

Design badge artwork in the browser, or bring your own.

Create a badge at Dashboard → New badge. A badge is a *template* — the design and its meaning. Awarding it to a person is a separate step, so you can design freely without anything being sent.

The details

Name
What the credential is called. Appears on the claim page and on LinkedIn.
Description
A sentence or two on what this badge represents.
Criteria
What someone did to earn it. This is the field that makes a badge meaningful to an employer, so it's worth more than a few words — describe the work, hours, or assessment involved.
Skills
Comma-separated tags. These become searchable skill entries on the credential.
Sub-organization
Optional, admins only. Assigns the badge to a school or department — see Sub-organizations.

Designing the artwork

The designer opens with ready-made templates. Pick one and adjust it, or start from a shape.

  • Preset colors — each template declares its recolorable slots. Change one and the whole design re-tints coherently, so gradients and metallic effects keep their depth instead of flattening.
  • Shapes and styles — six badge shapes, five visual styles.
  • Icons — a searchable, categorized library of 126 built-in icons. An inserted icon takes your template's accent color and re-tints when you recolor that template.
  • Text — straight or arced around the badge edge.
  • Logo upload — drop your institution's mark straight onto the canvas.
  • Layers — every element is listed by name with hide, lock, reorder, and delete.
  • Snapping — elements snap to the horizontal and vertical center lines with live guides, plus Center ↔ and Center ↕ buttons.
  • Undo/redo — Cmd/Ctrl+Z and Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+Z.

Uploading your own artwork

If your design team has already produced the badge, use Upload image instead of the designer.

Uploads must be square PNG

Badge artwork accepts PNG only, and the image must be square. The file type is checked by inspecting the file contents, not the extension, so renaming a JPEG to .png will be rejected. A transparent background looks best on claim pages. (Your *organization logo*, set in Settings, is a separate upload that does accept JPEG — see Branding.)

Exporting your design

The Export button in the top bar downloads your design as a PNG at 960px (the same image the badge saves), a PNG at 2048px for print or slides, or an SVG. These are downloads for your own use — they don't change the badge's saved artwork or the image on its credential.

SVG exports reference fonts, not outlines

The exported SVG points to font names rather than embedding letter outlines, so whatever opens it needs those fonts installed to render text correctly.
