What are badges?
Badges are tiny images that you can collect and display by your IMVU profile.
What do they mean?
There are hundreds of thousands of different badges on IMVU. Click on any badge under someone's profile, and it will display an ad for the creator's catalog who created the badge.
What do they do?
Badges are fun to collect and decorate your avatar card with. If you are a developer, then they are also a great way to advertise your catalog.
How does one get them?
Go to the HP (homepage) of your favorite developer. If they have a badge you can collect, then there should be a button you can click on to get their badge.
