About the bison top shield badge
The bison is the crest of choice for park, wildlife and western agencies, and on this shield it replaces the usual eagle as the first thing people notice. Laurel sprays climb the sides toward the crest, and the round seal well is framed by ribbons above and below so the center art stays clear of the lettering.
Use the two top ribbons for a title and an agency or park name, the lower ribbon for a unit or location, and the small box for a number or state abbreviation. Design and order in the TrueBadge Designer, or request a quote and let our art team lay it out for you; law-enforcement orders require agency verification before production.

Bison top shield badge questions
How much does this badge cost?
$160 for a single badge, $75 each at 10 and $50 each at 100 or more. Mold and setup are free. Finish add-ons are Background +$20, UV colored +$20 and Hard enamel +$25 per badge.
How long does production take?
Standard production runs 8–14 weeks after you approve the proof. Rush production is available; give us your date in the quote form and we confirm what is possible.
Can the bison head be plated differently from the shield?
Yes. Two-tone plating is one of the 31 platings, so the bison crest and laurel can be gold while the shield face is silver, or the reverse.
What goes in the small box at the bottom?
It is an 18-character panel, usually a badge number, a state abbreviation or a short unit code.
Is this badge a good fit for park and wildlife agencies?
That is who orders it most. The bison crest and laurel sides read as natural-resource service, and the seal well takes a state seal or agency emblem.
Can I swap the seal for my own artwork?
Yes. Upload a seal or logo in the designer or attach it to your quote request and we prepare it for striking.
