Yes. You may display a Credly badge image for your certification on a printed business card, provided that usage complies with the guidelines below.
Requirements for Proper Use
When displaying a Credly badge on a business card, all of the following conditions must be met:
- The badge must clearly represent a personal certification, not a company or organizational status.
- The full name of the credential must also appear in text.
- A link or QR code to the official Credly verification page is strongly recommended to allow third parties to verify the credential.
Badge Usage Guidelines
If you choose to include the Credly badge image, please ensure that you:
- Do not modify the badge artwork in any way.
- Do not combine the badge with other logos.
- Do not imply organizational membership, employment endorsement, or corporate certification.
- Do not give the badge undue prominence—for example, it should not be larger or more visually dominant than your name or company information.
Why These Guidelines Matter
Following these guidelines helps ensure:
- Accurate representation of The Open Group certifications
- Consistent and compliant use of certification imagery
- Clear distinction between individual credentials and organizational status
