Welcome to Hexagon Badges 2.0

Not operational yet :(

This thread is currently Under Construction!

Read what this thread will be for here (Original Feeds post).

Some ready made badges can be found here (Badges & Banners 1.0 Thread)

Emblem badges (like below) can be found here (Emblem Badges Thread)

What is this thread for?

In this thread, you will find PNG images to construct a Hexagon Badge for challenges/clubs/achievements on MDL. The badge can be used to decorate your profile or challenge post. You can choose to link the images (badges) to your challenges (link to a post) making them also functional.

Please note!
These badges are just for fun/decoration and are unofficial! 
Please only use them for your MDL profile or posts!

Templates
In the future there will be two main templates:
The Vertical half Hexagon (half image half color block for title),
and the Full Hexagon (Full image with middel bar for an title).

Templates
Vertical Half Hexagon 1.0 Solid Color block	Full Hexagon 1.0 One Line Text Bar
Vertical Half Hexagon 2.0 Transparent Color Block	Full Hexagon 2.0 Bigger text Bar

Samples
Here's a few examples of assembled (ready-made) badges for 2025 .
You can find these in the Badges & Banners 1.0 thread.

How to construct a badge?
Note: Constructing a badge with the Vertical Half Hexagon is a 5 Step process (3 layers). For the Full Hexagon and Elongated Hexagon there’s only 2 layers, the full image is the first/bottom layer and the title, frame and background color is the second/top layer.

• Step 1: Choose or Request (>> add link) an Image for the badge (left half of the Hexagon). For requesting new images please read the image specs (see below).
• Step 2: Choose or request (>> add link) a Color for the border and background (right half of the Hexagon) for the badge. For a custom color we need the HEX color code that looks like this #000000 (can be a mix between numbers and letters).
• Step 3: Choose or request (>> add link) a Title for a badge (right half of the Hexagon). Is a title missing, please let us know so we can make a design for it.
• Step 4: Assemble/Combine the layers/images over each other in an Editing Program, or put in a request (>> add link) to have someone layer the images for you. We made a list of editing programs below that can be used to combine/assemble the layers.
• Step 5: (Save file in PNG format) Upload (to an image host/website), copy the direct image link for the badge and paste the link in the picture icon.

Image Specs

If you have an image you would like to see on your badge you can try sending it to us and if it meets our standards we might use/include it in the Image Library. To get a good result we need it to meet some requirements. Please check if your image meets the following requirements before sending it to us.

• To make the badges we need preferably HQ (HD) images.
• Images taken in portrait mode probably works best for the vertical half template, landscape images might also work if we can zoom in without losing much quality. 
• If the image includes multiple people, some might not fit in the frame. It's best that they are positioned close to each other and there's enough background around them.

Rules

• Please don’t post/reply in this thread. You can do so here:
  https://mydramalist.com/discussions/creativity-forum/69619-badges-banners?page=1
• Please don’t distribute these files elsewhere (outside MDL).
• Not required but it would be nice if you add a link (credits) to this thread on your profile, for others to find and help themselves.
  

Programs

These are some programs/websites/apps that can help you assemble the PNG files to complete the badge:

• Photoshop
• Procreate (For iPad Pro)
• PowerPoint

Did you use some other program? Please let us know so we can update the list.

Staff & Helpers:
