A visual representation of who you are and who you work for is usually easier to recognize than squinting at the tiny type that is actually printed on the badge.

The problem with business cards is that they never fit just right in the badge, so I decided to make a custom insert this year.

If you want to make your own, just create a 3” x 2” image in Photoshop. I got the numebrs based off last year’s badge dimensions of 3.5” x 4.5” (thanks Casey Fleser for being a packrat). There’s a bit of wiggle room in the badge with the dimensions I used, but that also is in case Apple decides to shrink the badges even further this year. I’d rather not have to do a hackjob on site.

If you make your own badge, let me know!
