A classic eagle top shield where two laurel sprigs curve up around the seal, giving the center a wreathed, ceremonial look. Four ribbon panels stack down the face, from a straight title banner to a winged plate at the base for a badge number. A pebbled background and reef border keep the raised ribbons and laurel crisp against the plating.

About the eagle top badge with laurel center
The eagle spreads its wings across the top of this shield, and below it the seal sits inside a pair of laurel sprigs, a detail usually reserved for dress and ceremonial badges. The pebbled field and reef edge give the face depth, so the ribbons read as separate pieces of metal rather than flat bands.
Word the four ribbons however your organization needs: a rank or title on top, an agency or company name across the curved ribbon, a city or division below the seal and a number in the winged plate. Customize it yourself in the TrueBadge Designer and order at the live price, or ask for a quote and receive a free artwork proof within 4 hours.

Eagle top badge with laurel center questions
Can the laurel sprigs be plated a different color than the shield?
Yes. Choose a two-tone plating so the laurel, eagle and ribbons contrast with the field, or keep the whole badge in one finish.
How many lines of text does this badge hold?
Four: three 40-character panels and an 18-character panel. The short panel sits in the winged plate at the bottom and is meant for a badge number.
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 upgrades are Background +$20, UV colored +$20 and Hard enamel +$25 per badge.
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.
What goes inside the laurel center?
Your state seal, a stock seal or an uploaded logo. The seal well is about 34.5% of the face, so a detailed seal still reads clearly.
Is this shield used for dress uniforms?
Often. The laurel and reef border give it a formal look, and many agencies order it alongside a plainer duty badge in the same size.
