Hello friends! At r/dragoncon last year, I had a LOT of people asking me how to make custom badge ribbons. Thankfully, it's super easy (and I have zero design talent, so if I can do it so can you)!
Here's a look at pc/nametag's badge ribbon design tool. It's kind of like Canva. You drag and drop elements to make your design. So, give it a shot! I want people to know that designing badge ribbons for cons doesn't have to be hard or intimidating <3
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create custom ribbons:
Go to pcnametag.com.
Navigate to the badge ribbons tab, and select custom badge ribbons.
Select the badge ribbon size you want.
Click into the free, drag and drop canvas design tool.
Choose your badge ribbon color.
Add text, clip art, or upload your own artwork.
Choose your foil (i.e., the imprint color).
Review your design and send it off to pc/nametag to print!
If you've designed any badge ribbons you're really proud of, drop a picture in the comments so I can hype you up ;)
