A contemporary layered design: a smaller eagle top shield sits on a larger, textured outer shield with a smooth raised rim. The inner shield carries laurel along its sides, a round seal in the middle, four text panels around it and a plate at the base. Two-tone plating, gold inside silver, makes the layering obvious.

About the shield within shield badge

The outer shield acts as a frame, giving the inset eagle top shield a border of textured metal around it. The look is modern and substantial without extra ornament, and in two-tone the inner shield appears to sit on top of the outer one.

Use the three 30-character panels for a rank, an agency name and a department, and the 12-character plate for a state abbreviation or number. Order it through the TrueBadge Designer at the live price or request a quote and approve a free proof.
