About the ribbon top 6 point star badge
Most six-point stars put all the lettering in the round center; this one adds a ribbon across the top, so a rank or title gets its own banner above the ring. The laurel engraving on the points gives the star texture without crowding the lettering.
The ribbon takes a rank, the two ring panels an agency name split top and bottom, and the 18-character bottom panel stars or a number. Build it in the TrueBadge Designer and order online, or request a quote and approve a free proof first.
