Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a circle-star badge like this Selma design?

Yes. The ring-and-star layout is one of the oldest lawman designs, with the star struck inside a round ring so its points touch the inner edge. The ring carries the department name and a founding line, and you approve the proportions on a free proof before tooling.

Can the seal at the center be in full color like this?

Yes. The center seal can be filled with multiple enamel colors, such as the blue field and green wreath shown, or kept in a single color or bright metal. Each color is set in its own recess so the edges stay crisp.

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 silver ring, gold star, full-color seal, and ribbon 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, two-tone plating, the blue, green, and black enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the star points and ring.

Can the ring carry a different founding year or motto?

Yes. The bottom of the ring can carry any founding year, a motto, or the state name, and the top re-letters to your own city and agency. The DEPARTMENT ribbon can read a rank instead.

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.
