About the circle star badge with number ribbon
The two ribbons on the star are what set this layout apart from a plain star-in-circle. They put a number and a department line on the star itself, so the ring is free for a rank on top and the city name below.
Two-tone plating — a gold star inside a silver ring — shows off the layout best, though any of the 31 platings works. Set your wording in the TrueBadge Designer and order at the live price, or request a quote and approve a free artwork proof first.
