For Producers
Put your American Beef Direct badge where customers can see it.
Membership should mean something.
Your badge, your story.
Your American Beef Direct badge is more than a graphic for your website. It is a visible mark that says your operation has chosen to be part of a national registry built to connect consumers with American beef producers.
Display it proudly on your website, online store, email signature, social media, or other consumer-facing materials.
When consumers see the badge, they can click it and go directly to your American Beef Direct profile, where they can learn more about your operation and connect with your business.
Your membership. Your ranch. Your badge. Your story.
Your badge represents your membership.
There are four American Beef Direct membership levels, each with its own distinctive badge.
The badge identifies your membership level and connects your business to the larger American Beef Direct registry.
It gives consumers another visual signal that they have found a producer participating in a national effort to make American beef producers easier to discover.
And because the badge links directly to your producer profile, consumers don't have to take the badge at face value.
They can click it. They can learn about your operation. They can see who you are. They can connect with your business.
That's what gives the badge its value.
Wear your membership with pride.
American beef producers work hard to build something consumers can believe in.
Your membership represents a decision to put your operation alongside other producers who are working to strengthen the connection between American beef producers and the consumers who want to support them.
The badge gives you a simple way to make that commitment visible.
- Put it on your homepage.
- Put it beside your store link.
- Put it in your email signature.
- Share it on social media.
Wherever consumers encounter your business, the badge can serve as a recognizable connection back to your American Beef Direct profile.
The four member badges.
One organization. Four membership levels. One recognizable mark of membership.
Each badge carries the American Beef Direct name and distinctive design, while the center emblem and membership level identify the specific status held by the producer.
As your membership grows, so does the distinction represented by your badge.

Choose SVG for artwork that stays sharp at any size, or PNG for a ready-to-use image. Both have transparent backgrounds, so there is no white box behind the badge.
Display the badge you have earned. Display it proudly.
Link your badge directly to your producer profile.
Your badge isn't meant to be a static image.
It is a doorway back to your American Beef Direct profile.
We've provided the code below so you can add the badge to your website and have it link directly to your producer profile.
That means a consumer who sees the badge can click it and immediately learn more about your operation.
From your website, to your American Beef Direct profile, back to your business.
Copy the code provided on this page and paste it into the appropriate location on your website. It works in any website builder that lets you paste HTML: Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, WordPress, GoDaddy and the rest all have a block for it, usually called Embed, Custom HTML or Code.
Optional. Leave it blank and the badge links to the producer registry instead. Your profile address is the one in your browser when you are looking at your own listing.

This is what a visitor to your site will see, at the size you picked.
Protect the meaning of the badge.
The badge represents an active American Beef Direct membership, so it should always appear exactly as provided.
- Display the badge for your current membership level. Your badge should accurately represent the membership you hold.
- Do not alter the artwork. Don't recolor, crop, stretch, modify, or add wording to the badge.
- Keep it clear and readable. Give the badge enough surrounding space and display it at a size where the American Beef Direct name remains easy to read.
- Link it to your producer profile. The badge should take consumers directly to your American Beef Direct profile rather than a general page.
- Remove it if your membership ends. The badge represents current membership and should only be displayed while that membership is active.
These aren't complicated rules.
They're about protecting the meaning and recognition of the mark for every producer who earns the right to display it.
The Founding Member badge.
The Founding Member badge carries a distinction that will never be available to every producer.
Founding Membership is limited to 3 producers in each state during the founding period.
That makes the Founding badge more than a membership designation.
It identifies the producers who chose to stand with American Beef Direct at the beginning of its national buildout.
Founding Members hold that distinction for life.
The diamond badge is designed to remain a permanent symbol of that distinction.
Three per state. Limited by design. Permanent by membership.
If you become a Founding Member, you aren't simply purchasing a higher membership level.
You're becoming one of the producers whose name will always be associated with the early foundation of American Beef Direct.
Be proud to display it.
Your American Beef Direct badge tells consumers something simple:
You chose to be part of a national movement connecting American beef producers directly with the people who want to know where their beef comes from.
Put it somewhere consumers will see it.
Make it easy to click.
And let it lead them back to your story.

Registration is free and it is how every ranch enters the American Beef Producer Registry. A free Registered Producer listing carries your name, your town and your state, and it puts your ranch on the national map as a plain dot. What it does not carry is a badge: badges start at Verified Member, and so does the artwork on this page.
