Multiple Badges
Size and placement specifications are in place to ensure legibility and clear information hierarchy.
Please pay special attention when using multiple badges. Badge usage should be made with discretion,
multiple badges used in one location or on a single asset should use extra discretion.
Note that the Microsoft company logo cannot be smaller than 1in or 72px wide within the eligible badges.
However, badge versions without the Microsoft company logo can be reproduced at a much smaller size.
Width will vary depending on the competenc(ies) listed.
Scale all elements together proportionally.
Refer to badge-specific pages to see minimum sizing requirements.
* A common mistake is placing the badge on the front of a business card, due to size requirements it must be on the back of business card, occupying the entire space

Minimum size to include Microsoft logo but ramping for competency titles is applied

Microsoft gold certified competency partners represent the highest

level of competence and expertise with Microsoft and have earned
this designation. With this endorsement, partners earn additional
credibility as customers immediately associate the trust and reliability
of the Microsoft brand. Partners who have earned at least one gold
competency have earned the ability to use these badges.
To honor the value that Microsoft gold partners provide, the Microsoft
Company logo is now permanently part of the gold badge family.
Should a partners earned competency designation lapse, the partner
is no longer entitled to use such associated badge, and must remove
from all associated collateral immediately.
