Much like others, the ATO badge has remained the same over the years except in size. When Founder Glazebrook first designed the badge, the size was one inch by one inch and completely flat. You can still get one of these badges, known as the Founder's Badge, today. Many chapters get one for their president to wear. My father still has his, and it appears huge compared to the standard badge.
The standard badge is half an inch by half an inch and the center panel is raised slightly. Every member is given one of these with their badge number engraved on the back. You may also order jeweled versions of the standard badge. My parents bought me one as a Christmas present the year after I was elected president. Of course, I love it.
