Sunburst Eagle Top Shield Badge with Ribbon Panels — Design & Order Style 2-C12-4CMB
Style 2-C12-4CMB at a glance
A modern eagle top shield whose face is filled with a sunburst that fans out from the seal toward the reef edge. Three scrolled ribbons carry the lettering — one arched at the top, one above the seal and one below it — and a raised box at the base holds the number. The ribbons have folded ends, so they read as banners laid over the rays.

About the sunburst eagle top badge
Ribbon panels with folded ends give this style its depth: each banner sits on top of the sunburst rather than inside a flat band. That layering is what reads as modern here, and it makes the lettering easy to fill with color while the rays stay polished. The reef edge echoes the eagle's feathers down both sides of the shield.
A common layout is a title in the top ribbon, the department name above the seal, the city below it and the number in the base box. Design and buy it in the TrueBadge Designer, or request a quote if you want the ribbons reworded or rearranged, and we return a free proof for approval.

Sunburst eagle top badge questions
What makes these ribbon panels different from flat bands?
Each panel is struck as a banner with folded ends that sits above the sunburst, so the lettering stands out from the rays instead of sitting in a flat strip.
Can a long department name fit?
Yes. Each of the three ribbons takes up to 40 characters, so a long agency name can go above the seal with the city below it.
How much does this badge cost?
$160 for a single badge, $75 each at 10 and $50 each at 100 or more, with free mold and setup. Finish add-ons are Background +$20, UV colored +$20 and Hard enamel +$25 per badge.
Does the sunburst take color?
The rays are usually left as polished metal so they catch light; color goes in the ribbons and the seal. Ask in your quote if you want a background color added.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 8–14 weeks from artwork approval. Rush production is available; enter your date in the quote form and we quote the rush timing for your order.
Is this style good for patrol duty?
Yes. It's a full-size shield at 2.38" × 3.35" with a base number box, and the belt clip or safety pin attachment suits a duty belt or uniform.
