Every badge here is an original, generic design: a shield with a star, a crest shape with a ribbon or a round seal with an open center. We do not reproduce the crests, emblems or logos of real schools, sports teams, clubs, companies or public services. That leaves you a neutral base on which to build your own identity.

Badges look at home on the left chest of a polo or a jacket, on the front of a cap, on a team bag or on a blanket for a family reunion. The 95 mm size matches a typical left-chest badge, which is about 3 to 4 inches wide. On piqué polos, combine a sheer mesh cut-away with a water-soluble film on top, so fine details do not sink into the knit texture.

Any shield here can also become a sew-on patch once you stitch it on twill and cut it out; the embroidered patch designs page shows how. For a single decorated initial in the center of a shield, pick one of the monogram designs.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make my school, team or club crest?

Our library contains no real crests, emblems or logos. If your organization owns its emblem or has given you permission, upload the artwork to image to embroidery and convert it into a stitch file. Otherwise, start from a generic shield or banner here and add your own name.

How do I add text to a ribbon banner design?

Create a short text in the monogram maker or with your machine's built-in lettering, so the letters can stay large enough to read. Place it on the banner on the editing screen and arc it if your machine supports that. Stitch a test first, because text sewn on top of a fill adds density.
