Jigsaw Forte's Top 10 Tips for Furry Conbadges!

Ranked #5,085 in Arts & Design, #81,606 overall

Go to all the cons you like... keep the same badge!

Sure, you get a "convention badge" at every convention you go to. But these are usually small, you only get to customize your name, and worse -- Except for a few conventions that have different badges for different member types, they all look the same!

Well... you need them as proof you've paid to attend whatever con you're going to, so we can't really do anything about that.

BUT... nobody ever said that was the ONLY conbadge you could wear!

Jigsaw's Conbadges are designed to be worn to multiple conventions, and with all their features -- heavy-duty lamination, high-quality reproduction, contour trim, and personalized return information -- they know how to stand up to heavy-duty convention crawling, dining, and travel, wherever you go!

What Are "Conbadges", anyway?

Let's actually show you some examples of these badges!

Originating within the Furry Fandom, Conbadges are special pieces of custom artwork, designed to be carried around at conventions of all shapes and sizes!

Whether it's an original character from your own work, a fursona, or even just a cartoony caricature of yourself, you can use these badges over and over again, building up a persistent presence so you're not just another face in the crowd!

What's more, buying a badge from your favorite artist(s) is a great way to support them, while still receiving a custom piece of artwork for yourself!

And you can always buy more than one...

The Ten Reasons You'll Want Jigsaw's Conbadges

Because you can't just trust any old artist!

Okay, so any old artist can do a little doodle and slap a name next to it -- and if that's all you wanted, you could leave this site right now and pay someone to do just that.

Jigsaw's Conbadges are special, though, and there are tons of reasons why it's worth commissioning her to d your badge, and do it right!
  1. Jigsaw's badges are all-digital commissions -- if for any reason you should ever lose, damage, or otherwise ruin your badge, replacing it couldn't be easier! Why wear original art around your neck and risk all sorts of awful things happening to it when you could wear artwork that's backed by a guarantee?
  2. These badges are printed out in vibrant, eye-popping colors, ensuring that your artwork remains true to your character. Original works done in markers and colored pencils might come close, but Jigsaw's badges will stand out against the competition!
  3. All of Jigsaw's badges are laminated, protecting your artwork from unwanted spills, weather, and accidents that might damage or even ruin other artist's badges! And it's sturdy lamination, too -- these badges won't flop over in a stiff breeze!
  4. These badges are cut to contour, allowing your character to take center stage instead of living inside of a rectangle! After having so many badges in such boxy shapes, you'll find Jigsaw's badges refreshing and distinct from the crowd!
  5. Each badge comes with its own badge clip -- why wouldn't they? You'll want to wear your badge everywhere, and your badge should be able to be taken with you wherever you go as well! Having its own badge clip ensures you'll never have to fuss with jamming your badge into another clip, saving your badge from unnecessary wear and tear!
  6. Each badge is custom-made -- you'll never have to worry about your badge being done to a template, or even have to suffer the potential horror that your badge might be a recolor of someone else's! Your badge is unique to you and only you, and that makes all the difference!
  7. Your badge will be featured among the rest of Jigsaw's other commissions online and at this website -- which, if you're a new furry looking for attention, your character will have a chance to pique the interest of others looking for cool people to follow and talk to. You and your character will be that much more recognizable when you're out and about!
  8. Rather than writing out your name by hand, Jigsaw has hundreds of fonts available for making sure your name is as legible as possible -- a must when people's names can be a mouthful without asking them to figure out what the next letter in your name is!
  9. While we never want you to suffer the horror that is the loss of your badge, Jigsaw's badges include your personalized contact information on the back, so your badge has half a chance of being returned to you during or just after the convention! You can include instant messenger screennames, phone numbers, email addresses, anything that you think would help facilitate the safe return of your badge!
  10. Most artists try to rush through their orders to get them done before the end of the convention -- Jigsaw takes the time to do it right! Rather than having to check back frantically at the end of the convention to see if your badge is done (and then having to give the artist your contact information in a hurry), you can order a badge, and then it'll be shipped to you after the convention is over, when Jigsaw can not only clarify with you at your own leisure certain details of the badges, but also have it shipped straight to you!
