Digital Badge Design

Designed and developed a professional digital badge system for Colgate-Palmolive’s global learning initiatives, hosted on Credly, to recognize employee achievements and enhance engagement.

About the project

I created a badge design system for Colgate-Palmolive’s Learning & Development team, integrated with Credly, a global platform for digital credentials. These badges are awarded to learners upon completion of internal training courses, reinforcing a culture of continuous learning and professional growth. The design ensures strong alignment with Colgate-Palmolive’s brand while motivating employees with a credible, shareable achievement.

We had excellent Instructional Designers and deeply talented Learning Developers but Ankit Shah were the first to bring the art to the science of our work. Our work became distinctive and recognizable largely because of your effort. Specifically The Brandbook (BOTH versions) helped us to standardize our look and feel, you were the first to bring cartoon animation inside our custom designs and again recently you led the way in developing videos using Gen AI. We wish you ALL that is good on the next part of your career journey. Thank you Ankit for the Graphic Design artistry you brought to our Global Learning team.
