1st Badge Competition!

Hello World! If you’re reading this post, you’ve earned your first badge. You’ve also likely earned a few special edition badges like “Eat Pray Love”, “Inception” or the New England Patriots “Rookie.” Now we’re on the trek for the freshest, shiniest, wittiest new badge.

Introducing the 1st ever SCVNGR blag badge design competition!

A highly regarded panel of experts (the SCVNGR team huddled around their laptops and a pizza) will be choosing 1 creative badge concept from the comments here! The King of Bling, Fabian Perez, our insane badge designer will then take the winning concept and put it into production.  When it’s done, the badge will go live on SCVNGR!

Got a badge idea?
Give us the details here

  • What’s the badge called?
  • What does it look like?
  • What does the description say?
  • How/where do you earn it?

Need a little inspiration? Here are a few of our half-baked ideas:

Title: “The Great White”
Image: A ferocious, razor-toothed beast soaring out of the water
Description: Whatever you do, do NOT wear any seal-like outfits in the next 7 days…Air Jaws has been spotted.
How/Where: Earn this badge by doing  1 challenge at a beach during Shark Week!
(We just missed Shark Week.  This badge will have to wait till next year, but now you have a heads-up on how to earn it!)

Title: Get 2 Beers & Jump
Image: Two cans of beer.
Description: Fed up with your job? I know! I’ll get 2 beers and jump! That’s already been done? Ugh, back to the whiteboards.
How/Where: Earn this badge by doing 4 challenges at an airport.
(Too late for a Steven Slater joke? But did you catch the other joke? Pop culture references are a great inspiration for funny badges)

Title: Nostradamus Fail
Image: A can of beans
Description: We made it. Congrats humans.
How/Where: Earn this badge by doing 1 challenge anywhere the day after 12/21/2012 (which would be 12/22/2012.) Yes, we have a long time to wait for this one. It will be worth it.

Your turn! Go!
