About the oval city hall badge
Building-center badges put a landmark in place of an eagle or star, and this one uses a stepped civic tower that reads clearly even from a distance. The seal is smaller than on most styles because the building carries the design; two-tone plating makes the gold building stand out against a silver face.
Use the top arch for a title, the lower ribbon for the department and the 12-character box for a number. Order it in the TrueBadge Designer at the live price or request a quote and we proof it for you.
