Modern Design Staff ID Cards/badges

Industries function through a continuous process of working and delivering products to the consumers. Industries work due to the functioning of employees that work tirelessly to make things happen. Every small or big company requires the efforts of its employees or staff members. The number of employees in a company depends on the work required to complete at a given time.

Some multinational companies hire as many as hundreds of employees. There are ranks among employees that truly define their designation in the company and their job description. Their salaries and allowances depend on their work for the company.

Every employee or staff member is entitled to an ID card or a badge as soon as their job commences. These ID cards are like the national identity card of the country and provide basic information about the employee. Some companies follow a coded or colored system of handing ID cards i.e., different colors of cards are given to employees based on their ranks in the company.

In addition to companies and industries, ID cards are also assigned in other workspaces. School teachers, hospital staff, waiters, hotel employees, and all other places which hire staff provide them with compulsory badges.

A typical ID card has the following information,

Name of the person
Designation
Phone number or extension
Name of Company/ School/ Industry
Logo of the company
Address of the company
Phone number
Emailing address

Design

Most designs of all staff badges are simple as they are used to provide basic information regardless of their job and company title. Following key points are considered during designing,

Do not provide too much information on the card as it will appear crowded and loose its purpose of conveying basic information about staff.
Use neutral colours I.e., white, beige, crème. Do not use funky colour because it shows unprofessional attitude.
Font size and style should be readable for everyone. Do not use stylized font.
If picture is provided on the badge, then it should be a decent picture with blue or white background.

Designs for hundreds of staff badges are available on the internet which can be easily downloaded and filled in according to your own information. Staff badges are not considered royalty or precious, therefore, good badges can be found at zero cost. In addition, designers can be hired for designing special cards based on company requirements.
