BadgeCraft by Patriot Insignia is our custom badge design program, created to help public safety agencies bring their vision to life with a badge that's truly their own.
Our BadgeCraft designers collaborate with your department to develop a badge that reflects your heritage, values, community, and mission. From meaningful symbols and local landmarks to traditions and department pride, every detail is thoughtfully incorporated into the final design. The result is a distinctive custom badge that represents your agency's identity and serves as a lasting symbol of honor, service, and professionalism.
What is the BadgeCraft Process?
The BadgeCraft process is broken down into five transparent and exciting development steps.
Consultation
This step lets us learn about you, your department, and your community. The consultation is the foundation of creating a design that properly reflects your department.
Quote
Once the consultation is complete, a Patriot Insignia team member will provide you with a detailed design and development cost quote.
Color Illustration
Most BadgeStudio projects begin with a custom color concept illustration. Based on the information gathered during the consultation, our design team creates a vibrant visual representation of your idea, allowing you to review the design, colors, and overall look before production begins.
3D Graphic Render
The two-dimensional color design becomes a 3D graphic design so you can see all the fine details, depth, and sculpted elements that will be reproduced in metal to become your new badge.
Steel Die Creation
The digital becomes physical. Your new concept design is precisely carved into a steel die, which will be the starting point for producing your new badges.
Why Choose BadgeCraft for Your Custom Badge Project?
Your Symbols. Your History. Your Identity.
At BadgeCraft, every badge is designed from the ground up to reflect the unique character of your department. We don't rely on templates or one-size-fits-all designs. Instead, we create a badge that incorporates your department's symbols, landmarks, traditions, and history—resulting in a badge that is truly your own.
A Collaborative Design Experience
You don't need to be a designer to create an exceptional badge. Our experienced design team works alongside you throughout the process, taking your ideas, feedback, and vision and transforming them into a badge your department will wear with pride. We listen, refine, and collaborate until every detail is right.
A Process Built Around Your Approval
We understand that every department has its own approval process. That's why our design workflow is transparent and collaborative from start to finish. You'll review each stage, provide feedback, and approve every major milestone before moving forward, ensuring the finished badge meets your department's expectations.
