Frequently Asked Questions

Can we have our core values engraved around the disc like this Monahans design?

Yes. The black disc rim takes any four words your department lives by — HONOR, INTEGRITY, COURAGE, and DEDICATION as shown, or your own motto set — engraved into the die so the ring strikes crisply on every badge. The artwork team spaces your words around the circumference on a free proof before tooling.

Can the gold seal stay gold while the rest of the badge is silver?

Yes. Selective plating — a gold-finished seal medallion on an otherwise silver badge — is exactly how this design is built, and the accent can flip to a silver seal on gold, or extend gold to the star while the shield stays silver. The two-metal contrast is applied per element, not per badge.

How much does a chief badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The engraved values ring, selective gold seal, and individual badge number are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

What is the production timeline?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, silver plating with the gold seal accent, the black and flag enamel fills, and per-badge number striking.

Can the four stars and Texas map at the base change for other ranks?

Yes. The star row adjusts to your command structure — four for a chief, fewer for assistant and deputy chiefs — and the map silhouette can swap to your own state or be replaced with a plain panel. CHIEF on the crown re-letters to any title in the same die.

Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
