Education Badge Design FAQs

Can I create different badge designs for faculty, students, and guests?
Yes. You can create multiple badge templates within the same event and assign them based on attendee type. Faculty might have badges with academic title and department, students with major and year, and guests with a simplified layout showing name and affiliation only.
How do I import student data for orientation badges?
Export a CSV from your student information system or registration tool with columns for name, major, residence hall, orientation group, or any other fields you want on the badge. Upload the CSV to Online Badge Designer and map each column to a badge field using our visual mapper.
Can I add our university logo and school colors to badges?
Absolutely. Upload your institution's logo in PNG, JPG, or SVG format and place it anywhere on the badge. Set background colors, accent bars, and text colors to match your official school palette for a cohesive, branded look.
Is Online Badge Designer suitable for large graduation ceremonies?
Yes. Our bulk import and PDF export features are built to handle events with thousands of attendees. Import your graduate list, apply a commencement badge template with name, degree, and honors fields, and export all badges as a single print-ready PDF.
