The original Alpha Sigma Phi badge was flat and non-dimensional compared to the badges worn today. During the period of Delta Beta Xi (which was Alpha Sigma Phi operating underground) in the 1860s, the only modifications was to change the Greek letters and the hieroglyphics on the open book to something resembling text.
When the fraternity was revived in 1907 the badge was redesigned to be smaller and the black shield was made three-dimensional. No Alpha Sigma Phi badge may be jeweled and all are the same size, except for antique (pre-1907) badges and the chapter president's pin which resembles the original badge design of the mid 1800s.
