Badges for Competencies
One thing that's helped on projects I've worked on is keeping the badge design system really simple. It's tempting to make every badge unique, but once you have 30–50 competencies, that gets difficult to manage.
We usually stick to the same overall layout and icon style, then use colors or small visual differences to distinguish competency areas or proficiency levels. It keeps everything looking consistent and makes new badges much quicker to create.
I'd also recommend designing them at the size they'll actually appear in the LMS. A lot of badge concepts look great full-size but lose all their detail once they're shown as a small icon.
Really great suggestions that definitely resonate with our approach to badges here on E-Learning Heroes, too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here souravwebalearn!
