Introducing Modernized IMDb Profile Badges

We're excited to announce a modern refresh of IMDb Profile Badges! As part of our ongoing efforts to modernize and improve your IMDb experience, we've updated our Badges feature with a contemporary design that aligns with our other recently updated pages. This modernized, responsive design ensures a more accessible, secure and consistent experience across browsers and devices.

While preserving all your previously earned badges, we've enhanced the experience. On your profile page, you will find badges displayed in a scrollable widget, from which you can click any badge to view more information in the new modal pop-up without leaving the page. You can also click the “Badges” header to see a page with all of your badges earned to date. We also have a refreshed badge informational page (https://www.imdb.com/badge/) as well, listing the full set of current badges available.

In the coming days, IMDb will incrementally roll out this refresh. To explore your badges in the new design, simply sign-in and visit your profile page (https://www.imdb.com/user/). We hope you enjoy this modernized look as we continue to refine IMDb's community features. As always, we value your input – please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below.

Previous badges were tacky, but had their charm, the news one, well, meh... Specially the ones for Oscars, too underwhelming.

These new badges look fantastic and have a modern feel. However, I do have some concerns about the placement of the Oscar badges. While their position hasn’t changed compared to the previous version, I don’t think the old placement works well with the current website design. In my opinion, Oscar badges should appear after the Top 250 badges. I think the badges would be better organized if the most unique ones came first. By unique, I mean badges that can only be earned once and might evolve over time, like Total Contributions or Name Contributions. Next, the annual badges should follow, listed in order of their significance. Within the annual badges, Top Bio or Plot badges should be displayed before the annual Top Contributor 20XX badges. You currently get these only once, so they are more unique than the regular Top Contributor. The Top 250 badges should come after that. Finally, the Oscar badges should be placed at the end. Since Oscars are the easiest to earn among these three annual groups, it makes sense to put them last.

What a lovely design. I like them. I'm not acquiescing to the "modernized" branding, though. To me, both the old and the new are modern. Using portable network graphics (PNG) did seem like it was as good as it could get, but indeed scalable vector graphics (SVG) are even better and already had been the best format for a while now.
