Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Seminole County Sheriff design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices nationwide. This five-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the rank line, and the county lettering can be changed to your own agency. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you plate the seal ring in a different metal from the star?

Yes. The ring on this badge is struck in silver while the star around it stays gold, which frames the seal on contrast rather than with color or lettering. A two-tone break like that has to land cleanly on the band edge, and we will show you exactly where it falls on a free proof.

Can you leave the seal ring bare instead of lettering it?

Yes. The band here carries no text at all, which lets the three lines struck into the star do all the work and keeps the medallion reading as an image. We can letter the ring with a state or agency name, leave it bare as shown, or fill it with enamel instead.

How long does production take for a badge like this?

Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A two-tone badge with engraved arms, curved struck lettering, and a multi-color seal sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Two-tone plating, the laurel engraving, and the number of enamel colors in the seal place a badge like this at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Seminole County Sheriff name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the seal and county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
