Hello, Tumblr. This is a badges update.

Just popping in to tell you about all the nifty badges you can get to decorate your blog these days. You, too, could be the proud owner of The President’s Shoelaces (authentic, we promise), the Rainbow Crab, or the extra special Supporter Badge subscription that changes color as your support progresses. Here’s a full list of all the shiny knickknacks you can currently purchase from TumblrMart:

Supporter badge: This is the big one. This is how you support Tumblr in an ongoing fashion. This badge changes color the longer you subscribe to support Tumblr, starting off with Steel and working towards a very shiny Oil Slick, which demonstrates you’ve reached the highest level of support for this lovely little corner of the internet you call home. Read more about this one here.
Visionary, Literary, Shutterbug, Playlist, and Fashionista identity badges: We have a whole host of badges you can pin to your blog, leaving no one in the dark about your main passions. Are you an artist, a writer or reader, a photographer, a musician, or a style icon? Is your blog a curation of all your favorite art, writing, photography, music, or fashion? Then there’s a badge here for you!
The Color of the Sky: That old meme that curses your dash now and again? Yeah, you can now wear it on your blog to show off your mischievous side all year round.
The President’s Shoelaces: For when you want people to know you Know.
Crabs: Regular or Rainbow, you choose. Just know that crabs are something of a Tumblr mascot now, and wearing them on your blog shows that you either (1) love crabs, (2) participated in crab day on Tumblr on July 29, 2023, or (3) know what to do when the news goes November 5, 2020 on you.
Lunar badge: For all those who love the moon or simply need to know when they might not be sleeping well, this badge changes throughout the lunar cycle.
Important Babylonian Checkmark: Show your solidarity with disgruntled customers throughout time and space with the help of this extra special checkmark.
Hewie and Bones Halloween badges: Celebrate Tumblr’s national holiday in style. The Hewie and Bones badges bring that special Halloween feeling to your blog year-round.

That’s all for now! Enjoy mixing and matching your badges to your heart’s content! What’s more, if you have an idea for a badge you’d like to see, get in touch with us, and we’ll see what we can do about that!

Hello, Tumblr. This is a badges update.

You may have noticed that we’ve launched a set of badges you can earn for your blogs through your actions on Tumblr—like the Top Poster Club, the Blazer, and the Generous Citizen. You’ll automatically earn (and be able to choose to display) these badges. If you’ve earned a badge, you’ll see it bubble up in the lower left corner of your dash:

You can now also display different purchased and earned badges in one row next to your blog name, in whatever order you like. Pick which order you like them in. Mix and match with your checkmarks. Or wear all your bling at once. Your call!

Here’s what that looks like:

And here’s how it works:

To manage your badges on web, click the account icon, select a blog from the drop-down, and click “Blog Settings” from the menu. Click on the little pencil under your blog name to add, edit, or hide badges and checkmarks.
On mobile, head to your blog, click on the little paint palette in the top right corner, and you’ll see the little pencil icon under your blog name. Click on the little pencil under your blog name to add, edit, or hide badges and checkmarks.
Watch as they magically appear next to your username on the dash and your blog view.
You can always choose not to show any badges—simply unselect them in the very same “Badges” view in your settings.
It’s worth noting that some of the badges you can earn will only work on your primary, like the Generous Citizen, because you can only gift from your primary.
To purchase a badge, head to the Tumblrmart icon and select “Badges” from the menu at the top.

There you go. Now everyone can see who you are on Tumblr! At a glance! Nifty.

Want to communicate, at a glance, something essential about your Tumblrsona? Were you here for Goncharov and lived to tell the tale? Or perhaps you love a lovable but ultimately quite useless anthropomorphic piece of office hardware. Or you're one of those illustrious Artists on Tumblr, and you're open for business.

Well then, this one's for you. Introducing: badges. Ta-da! Yes, that's right. They're finally here. You can currently choose from three (with more to follow soon): Goncharov Enthusiast, Coppy, and Commissions Open.

Here's how you get 'em:

Head to TumblrMart or your blog settings to purchase your desired badge(s) for your primary or secondary blog.
Equip your newly-acquired badge(s) from that blog's settings.
Enjoy the sight of your nice new badge prominently displayed on your blog and next to your username on the dashboard.
Badge-level settings: By default, badges will be visible on your profile and the dashboard. You can choose to hide them in your blog's appearance settings.

Every badge is a badge of honor here. ~~Yes, even Coppy.~~
