Hey @robmoffat I'm taking a look at this task now. I can think of a badge design draft idea to use and share during our sync call this week if that works 👍

Hi @anajsana ,

You might want to hold off on this - for our FDC3 exam I tried to get a badge designed but the LF have some very strict requirements for what they look like and they'll want their design team to do it
