Shiny gold and shiny silver finishes feature a reflective metallic surface that closely resembles a polished metal badge. They provide a bright, traditional appearance and are a popular choice for dress uniforms, presentation badges, and applications where a classic metallic look is desired.
Matte gold and matte silver finishes have a softer, non-reflective appearance that reduces glare while maintaining the same badge design and detail.
