About the 5 point star in circle badge
Placing the star inside a closed ring is a traditional design that protects the star's points and gives the lettering a continuous band to follow. The smooth star face keeps attention on the seal, and two-tone plating makes the ring and the star read as separate pieces.
Both panels run along the ring, so long names and titles fit easily: an agency on the top arc, a rank or title on the bottom arc. Order it from the TrueBadge Designer at the live price, or request a quote and we send a free artwork proof within 4 hours.
