About the star in circle badge
The star-in-circle is a long-standing shape for marshals, rangers and sheriff's offices in the Southwest. Setting the star inside a ring gives the badge a round outline, and the ring becomes the place for lettering so the star itself stays uncluttered.
Use the top arc for an agency or city name and the bottom arc for a department or title; each takes up to 40 characters. Create it in the TrueBadge Designer to see the live price and order online, or request a quote for a free artwork proof within 4 hours.
