Free Graphics: Badges and Seals

Posted by admin on January 27, 2009

Sometimes you just need a good graphics badge or seal, right? And usually, it’s just a starting point for something you will finish in Photoshop or Illustrator anyway, so you need it for free.

Obviously, when you generate a graphic, it’s up to you to import them into Photoshop or Illustrator and use them as templates or elements of a collage. Or, if you’re totally gung-ho, you could transfer your customized seals and badges to iron-on paper and create your own T-shirts.

Head on over to the WORDPLAY blog, where you can find good summaries of what the Official Badge Generator and the Official Seal Generator at says-it.com (where you can also find the famous Church Sign Generator, the Concert Ticket Generator and the Soft Drink Generator that lets you design graphics of soft drink cans).

Badges: Currently, you can choose from six (6) different badge designs. Once you’ve selected a badge design, you can then customize the text that shows up on the badge, fine-tune the colors and adjust the overall size of the badge.

Seals: Currently, they have 10 different seal shapes to choose from — and since I hate to end a sentence with a preposition, let me just point out that the customization settings for seals also include emblem choices and broder settings.

One word of warning: Once you start playing around with those graphics generators, it’s hard to stop. So if you end up spending an hour or more generating badges and seals for office pranks and humorous fake IDs, don’t blame me.
