Approved/Trusted Web Badge

We're seeking the design of an "Approved" badge, for lack of a better description. Our company hand picks only the best companies in each region, we want those companies to be able to show that they have met our requirements with a badge. The concept is simple, portray any business with this badge as trusted/approved/verified and meeting a high quality of standards. Please note that we are NOT designers or artists, the look/feel is up to YOU, the graphic designer. We have a few simple guidelines: 1) Keep it simple. All of the examples below subscribe to the 'less is more' philosophy. 2) Keep the image relatively small. This badge will likely be placed in the footer area of a website and most of the examples are in the same size range. 3) High resolution. Make it look nice! Some similar "trusted" badges to use as examples are: * Angies List "Super Service Award" - [login to view URL] * The Better Business Bureau (BBB) "Accredited Business" badge - [login to view URL] * Paypal Verified - [login to view URL] * Other approved/trusted badges - [login to view URL] [login to view URL]
