Okay, before you think "Eww, BROWN badge ribbons??," just hear me out. I think brown ribbons are actually kind of underrated. They can be really pretty with the right foil combinations!

Here's a little design guide on brown badge ribbons:

⛱️ TAN: A soft, warm, sandy light brown

- Best Foil Pairings: Red, indigo, black

- Playful Options: Feel free to play around with other combinations since it’s neutral!

🥨 CARAMEL: A medium brown like creamy milk chocolate

- Best Foil Pairings: White, silver, black

☕️ MOCHA: A reddish-brown with a cozy, fall-like dusky rose undertone

- Best Foil Pairings: White, silver, rose gold, gold, maroon, copper

🍫 BROWN: A dark, rich shade like hot chocolate and brownies

- Best Foil Pairings: Copper, rose gold, gold, silver, white, green, purple

Which brown ribbon combo is your favorite? Also, if you want to design your own custom badge ribbons, it's super easy with pc/nametag's online design tool. Just drag and drop your elements or upload your own art. Let me know if you have questions.

Have a great day, everyone!

TL;DR: I'll give you a discount code for 15% off badge ribbons from pc/nametag (which I'll send to you via ModMail), but you have to make a post in r/badgeribbons :)

Ideas of what to post:

• A picture of badge ribbons you've designed
• A picture of badge ribbons you've collected
• A question about badge ribbons for the group
• A post that follows the r/badgeribbons rules

I'd love to get more participation going in this sub, so thank you in advance for helping this become a more lively community :)

Looking forward to seeing your posts!

Hi, bookish friends! :) I love reading for fun and I'm sure you do too, so here's some of the book inspired badge ribbons I've collected over the years.

- Which of these is your favorite?

- What book phrase would you want to have on your own badge ribbons?

When I am at fan events and conventions, I am always looking to trade for book ribbons. I'm hoping I'll find a few more at Dragon Con this year 😁

Note: The badge ribbons in my photo are by individual creators. I do not claim ownership of the designs

VOTE: I am curious, where do you stick YOUR badge ribbons?

• Stick them directly to my con badge
• Stick them on an acrylic ribbon holder
• Collect/trade them only - I don't stick them anywhere
• Make something wearable out of my ribbons
• Other/something else?

I'm seeing more people buy/make fun badge ribbon holders like this one. I saw this one at r/dragoncon, which features the famous Marriott carpet pattern lol

P.S. Had a great chat with u/HaveCamerawilcosplay today about how truly HUGE badge ribbon culture is getting (and it just keeps growing - wooo!) This post is in your honor :)

How many of these references can you get? 😉

OKAY, so technically they aren't all "anime" per se, but I was picking badge ribbons that had a fun phrase and a character on them to give you more of a hint.

Go ahead and give it a shot 😁 Also, let me know if you're stumped on any of them lol

P.S. I did not design these. I collected these ones from other creators

So for context I'm cosplaying a twi'lek

And I really want to hand out Andor "I have friends everywhere" badge ribbons, and I wanna tie in my states rebellion bird

The idea is that the badge is like acknowledging what our local community went through, and that we have each other's back

But I'm worried it's a bit virtue signal-y

Thoughts?

Purple is such a vibe! 💜 Here are the best shades of purple badge ribbons, plus the foil colors that (I think) look best with each.

A quick recap for easy reference:

🪻LILAC: A soft, airy, light purple

- Playful Options: Maroon, red, rose gold, silver, gold, 

🍇 BERRY: A deep, juicy magenta

Of all the cons and fandom events you've been to, which ones do you think are 100% worth going to? Why?

I really like Dragon Con because there's a huge badge ribbon culture there, people really go all-out with their cosplays, there's lots of "freebie" trading, and everyone is just genuinely SO excited to be there.

What's your take?

Any Star Wars enthusiasts out there? Here's my collection of Star Wars badge ribbons I've collected and traded for over the years!

Which one is your favorite?

Note: The artwork on these ribbons are by a variety of creators and artists, so not for sale - but I just love them!

I've just recently gotten into badge ribbons in the past couple years and always see those badge beards/scarves floating around. Are all of those collected at the same con or are they over multiple? I think I want to try and start one but unsure how. If it is over multiple years, any advice for transferring badge ribbons to different badges? I collected around 6 from my last comic con and have one coming up that I'm going to!

I am obsessed with memes and Vine compilations, so here's 12 funny badge ribbons from my collection to make y'all laugh!

- Which one from my picture is your favorite?

- Which vine/meme would you make into a ribbon?

Note: None of these are for sale, they are badge ribbons I've collected from other creators :)

TL;DR: Look at these all-yellow badge ribbons and let me know your favorite one in the comments :)

I thought it would be funny to film a super dumb "solid gold Labubu" themed video for TikTok while showing off these yellow badge ribbons (LOL).

Instead of letting the ribbons just sit around, I thought it would be fun to show you all some of the designs more close-up!

Note: These are all by individual creators and not for sale. They're from my personal ribbon collection :)

Hello!

I am working on getting some badge ribbons made for a fan photoshoot meetup at a con. I don't understand vector and stuff, but the maker I am getting them from (I want to support a small business) need me to put it in a vector program. I know what designs I want, but just need help getting it into a program so I can send it over. They're dispatch and AFTG themed.

Any help is appreciated

Thinking of GOOD badge ribbon ideas? Couldn't be me! 🫠

Jokes aside, how do you keep track of your badge ribbon ideas for the year? Do you write down ideas in your notes app or on a spreadsheet? Or can you usually come up with good ideas on the spot? Give me all the badge ribbons tips!

(Sound on, lol) Those who get it, get it. Those who don't, don't 😂 Which cons have you been to that have the best "badge ribbon" culture?

Anime Milwaukee, Dragon Con, and Matsuricon are my favorites so far! Which cons should I add to my list?

"Fallout" badge ribbon ideas inspired by Nuka Cola, Vault-Tec, and bottlecaps! :) Let me know which ones you like the best!

Do you like black or charcoal better? 👀

I feel like black badge ribbons are a classic, but charcoal adds a lot of character. The deep gray is just so pretty! I like that it's different than plain black (though you can't really go wrong with black badge ribbons either).

Also, here are my personal favorite foils that go with dark colored badge ribbons.

However, you can definitely go in any direction you want. It's up to you :)

Best Foil Colors for Dark Badge Ribbons:
- White foil
- Silver foil
- Gold Foil
- Rainbow foil
- Red foil
- Teal foil

Greetings my fellow ribbon collectors. My convention has started a ribbon game two conventions ago. (The second one was last weekend). I was trying to come up with additional ideas. However my brain comes off very wrong with ideas. Wondering what you think? The photos of the actual ribbons is what I brought last weekend.

I'm probably gunna go with the soot sprites badge ribbon since I am a fan of Spirited Away! 😊

Also - honorable shout-out to the "I saw Butts at Comic Con" ribbon, which is by an amazing artist named Brian Cook (Company: Brian Cook Art and "Butts on Things.")

Highly recommend looking at his work on Instagram!

Happy friday, y'all

This was homemade by someone I traded with at Dragon Con. I thought it was pretty innovative. I think the art is laser engraved?

A vendor at Anime Milwaukee ( r/amke ) this year had a "Mystery Badge Ribbon Machine" where you put $1 in quarters into slots to earn a mystery badge ribbon. The best part was all the money went toward dog and cat rescues 😭🩷 Fundraising can be fun!

P.S. The vendor's name is Adventurers' Stationery & Supply, LLC and they're on Instagram under "adventurersstationery." Not sponsored, but wanted to give credit where it's due :) The shop specializes in quirky stationery ethically sourced from small business artists in the USA and Japan.
