Onsite Badging, Part Three

Last week, we read Julius Solaris’ article illustrating the question,

Inspired by this, our team at TPNI decided to pose the exact same question to three AI programs: ChatGPT by OpenAI, Gemini from Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot, in order to additional insights.

We asked ChatGPT and Co-Pilot (check out their answers in Part One and Part Two!). Finally, we’re asking Gemini from Google. Here’s what it came up with:

A perfect event badge hits a sweet spot between functionality and aesthetics. Here’s what it should ideally be:

Functional:

  • Clear and Readable: The most crucial information, typically the attendee’s name, should be prominent and easily readable from a distance. This means using large, clear fonts with good contrast against the background.
  • Contains Relevant Information: Besides the name, other details like company affiliation, title, or even pronouns can be included depending on the event’s purpose.
  • Durable Material: The badge material should be sturdy enough to last throughout the event. Opt for waterproof options for outdoor events or those with food and drinks involved.
  • Secure Fastener: A badge holder with a clip or a lanyard keeps the badge from getting misplaced.

Aesthetic:

  • Matches the Event Theme: The badge design should incorporate the event’s theme or brand elements through colors, fonts, and even images.
  • Eye-Catching Design: A visually appealing badge can leave a positive impression and encourage social media sharing.

Optional Features:

  • Customization: For large events, consider including color-coding or other visual cues to categorize attendees by ticket type, access level, or affiliation.
  • Interactive Features: Badges with QR codes or embedded chips can allow for contactless information sharing or gamification elements.

By considering these aspects, you can create an event badge that effectively serves its purpose and leaves a lasting impression.
