I have a backpack for my open badge badges through mozilla and I have an account on Credly. I’m learning. One small fact that I learned that changes how I view the actual badge: If it’s standards compliant it will be an image in the PNG format, and by design, PNG allows considerable adaptation. One …

I haven’t needed one of these guys in a long time. I’ll have the layered version as a download on the old lion page within the next few days.
