Badge Image Design

The image of your digital badge is almost as important as the credential earned.  It must represent you and your brand standards first and foremost. The DCI in-house graphic designer can develop a line of digital badge images utilizing your organizational brand standards.  

The images will be designed so that creating new images (for each new badge) will require modifying only a few key elements so as not to create a bottleneck in new badge creation.  We can also provide best practices to your graphic designer of choice to build your own imagery.

For our digital badge implementation, we chose Lesley Voigt from the Digital Credentials Institute at Madison College and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She and her team managed everything from badge design to the back-end technology set-up, and made things so simple and seamless for us that I kept telling her I felt we must be forgetting something!!!

Lesley is a wealth of knowledge about digital badges and was happy to have numerous conversations with us answering the most rudimentary of questions. Finally, before we went live with the badges, Lesley shared with us a huge file of digital assets – emails, videos, fact sheets etc… - to assist us with marketing the badges to our candidates. Overall, it was a great experience.
