Design Tips for Button Badges
Please choose one of the 4 design options below.
Follow the instructions carefully before sending us an email.
Option 1:
To design your
own
badges click here.This is the most common option with customers. Use your own software to create your own stunning (or simple!) badge design.
This requires at least a basic understanding of graphic design. Please click here to begin.
Option 2:
Send us your
existing logo:
Please email
us a large version of your logo as either a jpg png, gif, pdf
or
bmp image
file (under 1MB in size). If your logo is
not one of these
file types please email
us first to
check
that we can use it. We will
resize your image to
best fit our badges
for free. Please remember
to let us know
which size badges
you would like.
The background colour of the logo will be the background colour of the
badges.
You can design your own badge (above) if you want a
different colour background.
Please send your logo in RGB format. If
you do not know what format your logo is in and it has previously
been used on a website the chances are the format will be fine (if it
is large and does not look fuzzy on screen).
We can always shrink a large logo down to size but we can't increase the size of your image without it losing quality. Please send us a quick email if you are unsure and we will be happy to help! When you are happy that your logo will work you can pay for your order via our 'Badge Prices' page.
This
option is
good for birthday party badges, hen do and stag night badges,
student election badges, or
if you
need a photo or image and
text on your badges. It is best suited to our bigger 38mm badges. We
will
happily put your provided image and any
basic text you want on your badges, but we do not offer a full
design service or design badges from scratch.
Click here
for (easy to understand) details of how to provide the information we
need in the correct
format and size. If you have any sort of design skills we
suggest you use our standard method and design your own badges using
Option 1 above.
Option 3:
Your image (or combination of a photo and
text)
on
your badges,
but you have no design
skills
please
click here.
Option 4:
The
simple option for 'text only' badges:
Tell us by email what text you want on your 25mm or 38mm badges. Please state the basic font name, the font colour and the basic background colour you would like (eg "hello mum" in comic sans font, blue text on a white background).
It helps us if you give us a list of fonts as we may not have your first choice on file. We will best size the text to fit our badges. The text may need to be spread over several lines. Please keep in mind our 25mm badges are roughly the diameter of a 10p piece. If you need a lot of text or would like large text on your badges we advise you to choose our 38mm badges. The more words the smaller your text will be!
Please wait for us to confirm we can make your badges before paying if you are unsure. If you need the text to curve around the edge of the front face of the badges we can usually do this for you if you let us know.
If you have any questions please feel free to email us after reading our FAQs!
