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.
