Bear Top Shield Badge with Laurels and Reef Edge — Design & Order Style 3-C11AKCMB
Style 3-C11AKCMB at a glance
A shield badge topped by a sculpted bear head with bared teeth, its sides wrapped in laurel leaves and its outline finished with a reef edge. Three curved ribbons sit above and below a round seal well, and a rectangular plate at the base holds the badge number. The bear, the laurel and every ribbon edge are struck in relief, so they catch the light against the recessed lettering.

About the bear top shield badge
The bear head on this shield is the reason most buyers pick it: it replaces the familiar eagle with an animal tied to parks, wildlife and mountain country, and it gives rangers and conservation teams a crest that reads as their own. Laurel leaves climb both sides of the shield, and the reef edge gives the outline a heavier, hand-finished look.
Each ribbon follows the curve of the shield, so a title, an agency or department name and a division line all sit cleanly around the seal, with the number plate below. Order it straight from the TrueBadge Designer at the live price, or send us your wording and we return a free proof within 4 hours for approval before anything is struck.

Bear top shield badge questions
Can the bear head be changed to a different animal?
The bear crest is part of this style's mold. If you need a lion, an eagle or another animal, browse the other shield styles or request a quote and our art team can advise.
What goes on the bottom plate?
The 18-character plate is sized for a badge number, a short rank or a unit code, so each person's badge can be different while the rest of the design stays the same.
How much does this badge cost?
$160 for a single badge, $75 each at 10 and $50 each at 100 or more, with free mold and setup. Finish add-ons are Background +$20, UV colored +$20 and Hard enamel +$25 per badge.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 8–14 weeks from artwork approval. Rush production is available; enter your date in the quote form and we quote the rush timing for your order.
Can the ribbons be a different color from the badge?
Yes. Choose a background color, UV colored or hard enamel finish for the ribbons, or pick a two-tone plating so the ribbons and the shield contrast.
Is this badge only for park rangers?
No. Any agency, company or group can order it, though the bear crest makes it a natural fit for outdoor, wildlife and parks work.
