Eagle Top Shield Badge with Ribboned Panels — Design & Order Style 2-C16CMB
Style 2-C16CMB at a glance
A classic eagle top shield in which every text line is shaped as a ribbon with folded tails. Two ribbons stack above the seal, a wide banner sweeps beneath it, and a squared plate at the bottom carries a number or rank stars. The seal well is one of the larger ones on an eagle top, taking up about 40% of the face, and a reef edge with laurel leaves wraps the outline.

About the eagle top shield badge with ribboned panels
Folded ribbon ends give the lettering a banner look, more traditional than plain rectangular panels. Because the seal well is large, a busy state seal keeps its detail, and the wide lower banner has space for a long department name in one line.
Place a title on the top ribbon, the city or agency on the second, the department on the lower banner and a badge number or rank stars on the base plate. Design and order it in the TrueBadge Designer, or request a quote and we send a free artwork proof within 4 hours.

$160 for one badge, $75 each at 10, and $50 each at 100 or more, with free mold and setup. A background or UV colored finish adds $20 per badge, and hard enamel adds $25.
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 bottom plate show rank stars instead of a number?
Yes. The 18-character plate can hold a badge number, a short title or rank stars, as in the photo. Note the stars in your quote request or add them in the designer.
How large is the seal center?
About 40% of the face, larger than many eagle top shields, so detailed state seals and logos stay clear.
What is a reef edge?
A scalloped border around the outline of the shield. On this style it is joined by laurel leaves running up both sides.
Are the ribbon colors fixed?
No. Choose the plating for the shield and a different finish or enamel for the ribbons; gold ribbons on a silver shield are shown.
