If your school placed in an MBA Stack ranking, you've earned a badge. It's free, it's yours to use, and it links straight back to the ranking — so prospective students can verify exactly how you measure up.
Each badge is a live SVG served from mbastack.org — no broken screenshots, no stale years. One award seal per ranking type, in solid and outline styles, light and dark.

Choose a style and theme, then copy the embed code. It's a crisp SVG that scales to any size.
