Design notes
The badge turns the quarterly results chart into one compact mark. On a deep teal tile with a fine double frame, a white results line rises through six points, crosses a dashed target line and ends in a ringed gold node, with a thin gold sliver showing the part above target. EMPLOYEE is set in a strong serif with OF THE QUARTER in spaced capitals below. The shapes stay simple enough to read at 120 pixels, which suits sales, support and operations teams that live by their numbers.
About
Employee of the Quarter Badge Template, Above Target
Quarterly recognition fits the rhythm most teams already work to: goals are set for three months, reviewed at the end of them and then reset. An employee of the quarter badge lets the person who led that stretch show it outside the meeting room, on a LinkedIn profile, an email signature, an intranet page or a team chat avatar, and it is easy to issue again every three months.
