About the ball tip 6 point star badge
Ball tips are the signature of the traditional sheriff's and marshal's star — they round off every point so the badge won't snag clothing and give it a vintage Western look. This style keeps the rest of the design spare, with just two curved panels and a beaded ring around the seal.
One panel arcs over the seal and one underneath, each up to 40 characters, which suits an agency name split top and bottom. Build it in the TrueBadge Designer and order at the live price, or request a quote for a free proof first.
