Starburst Oval Badge with Five Ribbon Panels — Design & Order Style 5-D11CMB
Style 5-D11CMB at a glance
A traditional oval with a starburst that radiates from the seal to a cable border. Five panels give it more room than most ovals: a wide arched ribbon across the top, a short ribbon for rank stars or a unit, two stacked ribbons below the seal, and a small box at the base for a short code or number.

About the starburst oval badge
Five panels on an oval is unusual, and it's the reason to pick this style: a rank title, a department name and a city all fit, with the short ribbon left for stars and the base box for a state code or a number. The starburst gives the oval a lively face, and the cable border finishes the rim with a twisted-rope look.
Two-tone plating works well here — a silver oval with gold ribbons makes each panel stand out against the rays. Build it in the TrueBadge Designer and order at the live price, or request a quote and approve a free proof before production.

Who orders this badge
Departments that wear oval badges and need room for a rank, a department name and a jurisdiction pick this style, since few ovals carry five panels. Chiefs and ranking officers often use the short ribbon for stars. Agency verification is required for law-enforcement orders.

Starburst oval badge questions
Why choose an oval with five panels?
It fits a full layout — rank, stars or unit, department, city and a short code — without shrinking the lettering, which most three- or four-panel ovals can't do.
What goes in the 10-character box?
A short state abbreviation, a unit code or a badge number. It sits at the base of the oval, below the two ribbons.
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.
What is a cable border?
A twisted, rope-style rim struck around the oval's edge. It frames the starburst and gives the badge a traditional finish.
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 I order it in two-tone?
Yes. Two-tone plating puts the ribbons in one finish and the oval face in another, so the five panels stand out from the starburst.
