Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put a downtown streetscape on our badge like this Roanoke design?

Yes. Our artwork team redraws your downtown streetscape from photos, capturing storefronts, rooflines, and towers as raised metal relief. The scene is sculpted into the die at full detail, and you approve it on a free proof before tooling.

Why use a black enamel field behind the silver design?

Black enamel behind silver gives the strongest contrast a badge can have, so fine details like building windows and small lettering stay readable from a distance. The rays can also be filled in navy, dark blue, or left in plain metal.

What does a 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 building relief, black sunburst field, and blue seal disc are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, silver plating, the black and blue enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the building relief and laurel.

Can the motto arch say something else?

Yes. The arch above the scene can carry TO PROTECT AND SERVE as shown, your department motto, a founding year, or be left plain. The OFFICER ribbon and TX panel re-letter to any rank, badge number, or state name.

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.
