Add this group to your +watch to get notified of new DeviantArt badges when they come out. Everyone can join!
Badges are icons that can be added to your profile page. Below are listed all the known types of badges, including how to obtain them. Not all badges are publicly available and some have been discontinued.
All badges (except llama and cake) are given by devart, a DeviantART System Bot. Because devart is not a human that account can't answer to your questions about the different badges. Also, DeviantART admins can give some other badges than just llamas and cakes. This group can't give any badges because we are not DeviantART admins. Badges currently cannot be removed from your account but you can try if you want by contacting help desk.
Your 5 newest badges are featured in a widget on your profile. Previously, if you arranged your badge order before the 2020 Eclipse, those will be your featured badges. Your newest badge will push your right-most featured badge out if you earn any new badges (even if you arranged them). But since October 24th, 2022, rearranging badges were reintroduced due to popular demand. You can rearrange your top 5 badges once again.
Your llama farm is featured as a widget on your profile. The current limit is 20 llamas and you can choose from numerous backgrounds. However, it seems that backgrounds cannot be changed on mobile devices, unfortunately.
If you want to remove all badge notifications, go to https://www.deviantart.com/settings/general and scroll to the bottom of the page to the "Notification Settings" and check the box for "Turn off notifications for badges".
Groups used to have badges besides llamas and cakes if it was converted from a regular DA account using convertaclub before July 4th, 2010. However, sometime after the 2020 Eclipse, badges seemed to have disappeared from a Group's account. A Group can no longer receive badges and they are also no longer displayed on a Group's homepage. Groups will also automatically be converted to a new Group layout sometime in early to mid-2024. Sadly all Groups' favourites and affiliates will be lost but galleries will remain intact.

Original Staff Merit badges "Badges started out as merit badges for DeviantArt staff. They were only available to staff for special accomplishments like merit badges for the Boy Scouts. We started making them available to members by way of special events like our 10th birthday bash and hidden pageviews. They gained a lot of popularity about 3 years ago with the introduction of the llama badge system for our annual April Fools prank. The rest is history, you guys can't seem to get enough of them. :B"

Sleep Flag
(Slept with a flag up)
Introduced September 10th, 2010
Not publicly available
A merit badge given to staff members who go to sleep with the sleep flag enabled. The DA development system has a setting so that when a sleep flag is enabled (eg, when a developer is testing/fixing code and doesn't want outside interference), no other developers can introduce new code to the site. This badge is given to developers who do not disable the flag before they go to sleep at night (and thus no new code can be tested/fixed that night). There is also a "King of Sleep Flags" badge, for earning the Sleep Flag badge 20 or more times.

Introduced again April 2nd, 2013
