I took these in a homemade softbox (cardbord and tissue paper). I wanted to shoot the badge straight on but it's like shooting into a mirror.

Please let me know if any look too dark or the colors are off. My laptop is calibrated but I'm not sure if I did it right.

Thanks everyone. These are going to be used for work and in pretty certain they're going to like #3 the least because the city name isn't as evident. Oh well! It was my favorite too.

Badges are difficult to shoot, these are nicely done.

Great work with the softbox. I would have clone-stamped out the fabric texture in #2 and #3 so that they had an even, smooth, black background like in #1 and #4. Those badges must have been hard to work with.

Badges.....we don't need no stinkin' badges! Sorry, just had to throw that in there :)

Stick...love the avatar.

Jay...I plan on cloning the brights spots in #2 if they want to use it. #3 might be a tad difficult for me to clone. I'm not that great with PS. I can do small clone jobs but nothing large scale. I'll have to reshoot it on a different surface for a smooth background.

Personally I really liked the background and how it came out in no. 3. I wouldn't change it, but that's just me ;).

Then #4 is the next best choice.
