Story behind design process
The Arc Jumpstart Community Badges design process focused on creating an authentic, appropriate, and accessible badging system to energize the Arc Jumpstart community. We developed a visual design approach that complemented the Arc Jumpstart design system as well as a naming convention that matched the site's personality: engaging, well-crafted, and even a bit cheeky. The result is a scalable recognition system that celebrates and rewards our most valuable asset: the Jumpstart community of users and contributors.
