Design notes

This badge shows a mortarboard seen from above with a gold tassel hanging on the left, and a GRADUATE ribbon across the lower corner. The navy and gold colours stay readable at small sizes, even in a thumbnail. It suits any level, from preschool to postgraduate study, and it can sit beside the certificate as proof of the same achievement.

About

Graduation Badge Template for Graduates

A graduation badge is the digital mark of a finished program. Schools, colleges, training academies and bootcamps issue it alongside the certificate so graduates can share it on LinkedIn, in email signatures and on their profiles. It tells employers and admissions teams that the person completed every requirement.
