    Emblem vs. Badge: What's the Difference?


    Quick answer

    Emblem vs badge: the technical difference, what we make, and how to order custom logos, text, and flag emblems for your vehicle.

    The Technical Distinction

    In automotive industry usage, "emblem" typically refers to a logo or graphic symbol (think: the RAM ram head, the Chevy bowtie). "Badge" refers to text or alphanumeric identifiers (think: "F-150," "4x4," "Sport").

    In everyday use, the terms are interchangeable, and at Badge My Auto, we use "badge" to mean any custom emblem, text piece, or flag you want mounted to your vehicle.

    What We Make

    • Text badges: custom words, nicknames, funny phrases ("GROCERY GETTER," "BEAST MODE," "DAD TAXI")
    • Flag badges: country or state flags in chrome-framed format
    • Custom graphic emblems: logos, symbols, shapes, contact us for a quote
