Custom Sub Badges for Your Channel

Sub badges are the icons that show up next to your subscribers’ or members’ names in chat. They’re tiny, but they’re one of the first things your community wants to show off. At Epik Streamer we design them around you and sell them per unit at $3 each.

What a badge is and who it’s for

A badge communicates a level of support or tenure: someone who’s been around a month looks different from someone who’s been around a year. A la carte badges work if:

• You’re about to open subscriptions or memberships and need your first badges.
• You already have generic badges and want some with your identity.
• You want to add a badge to a series you already have.

What’s included

The service is one badge designed around you, with one revision included. It’s sold per unit, so you can order as many as you need. Any other piece you didn’t order is treated as an additional service. Within the packs, the Creator pack includes 6 badges and the Epik pack includes subscriber badges.

Sizes and formats by platform

Each platform has its own rules, and not all of them publish the same level of detail:

• Twitch. For bits badges, Twitch asks for each one as a static PNG in three sizes: 18 x 18, 36 x 36 and 72 x 72 px (animated ones aren’t supported). For subscriber badges, confirm the current requirements in your Creator Dashboard before uploading; we don’t take them for granted.
• YouTube. Member badges are uploaded as JPEG or PNG, under 1 MB and at least 32 x 32 px. They display at 14 x 14 px in comments and at 16 x 16 px in live chat.
• Kick. In the help we reviewed, the badges Kick describes are VIP and OG, which the streamer can give to up to 100 people each. We didn’t find published dimensions for custom badges.

Tell us your main platform in the brief so we can design to the right spec.

How it works

1. You buy on PayPal. One-time payment, in full.
2. You send your brief over WhatsApp or Discord. Tell us your visual identity (logo, colors, character or avatar), the personality you want to convey and the references you like.
3. Production and delivery. They start once the brief is complete and the payment is made.
4. Revision and approval. One revision included per piece; from the second, there’s a charge. With payment in full and your final approval, usage is assigned to you for your personal brand and channel.

Common mistakes with badges

• Designing them as a miniature logo. A detailed logo turns into a smudge at 14 or 16 px. Simple shapes work better.
• Relying on color to tell them apart. At a small size, two similar colors blur together. Change the shape too.
• Not thinking about the series. If you’ll have several tiers, design them as a progression from the start.
• Using a complex background. The background competes with both light and dark chat.
• Forgetting the rest of your pieces. Badges need to look like part of the same family as your emotes.

A few badges or a pack

If you need one or two badges, buying per unit is the most direct route. If you’re building the whole channel, the Creator pack includes 6 badges along with a logo, overlays, panels, banner, emotes and OBS. Pair your badges with an emote pack, and see how each platform’s rules apply in the guide to emote sizes and rules by platform. To keep your style uniform across everything, read the guide to streamer branding.
