Add this group to your +watch to get notified of new deviantART badges when they come out. All badge fanatics are welcome to join. Badges are icons that can be added to your personal profile (visible at the top right of your 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 can be removed from your account if you contact the help desk. You can feature 5 badges in your profile page. If you have collected more than 5 badges you can choose the featured badges here: me.deviantart.com/badges Only your first two featured badges are visible in the mobile version of the site. If you want to remove all featured badges from your profile page go to: me.deviantart.com/badges/ There is a link 'Clear all featured badges'. If you want to remove all badge notifications go to www.deviantart.com/settings/ge… and choose 'Disable message center notifications for badges'. A group can have badges besides llamas and cakes if it was converted from a regular dA account using convertaclub before July 4th, 2010. Click here for proof. Cake badges can be given to groups using GROUPNAME.deviantart.com/badges/cake Llama badges can be given to groups using GROUPNAME.deviantart.com/badges/llama Click here to give this group a llama. Click here to create a link like this for yourself. Click on each badge image for an example.
