Stand out from the crowd through your name badge

Written by Fiona Pang | Oct 27, 2022 9:57:00 AM

Imagine you are in a conference room full of people from different companies. All of them are wearing black and white business attire with masks on. You start to question whether you have facial blindness. Then you start to categorize the people according to the auspicious colour hanging on their necks. Yes, that’s when a conference badge comes in handy and separates you from the rest of the people. This blog post will look into the design of the conference badge. 

 

1. BOLD AND BIG


If you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to be big. AS BIG AS YOU CAN. The optimal size for your conference badge should be 72pt minimum. Your first name should be larger than your last name because having people calling your first name is friendlier than calling your last name. It is also easier to recall your first name than your last name. Test the distance between your conference badge and the crowd, your name should be visible from 15 feet.

 

2. Be different 

Even if you're coming from the same company, variations are what grab people’s attention and stand out. EventX supports multiple badge designs for different groups of attendees. People can still distinguish the unison within your company badge but customization is also offered to individual needs. 

 

3. Utilize the space for networking

Did you know conference badges can be a great conversation starter? You can utilize the space to feature quotes from your favourite fictional characters or quotes that best represent yourself. Make sure to be genuine because people will talk in-depth about your topic and nothing looks more awkward than your potential customer exposing you.
