Creating a Facebook Page Part IV: Creating a badge for your page

Creating a badge for your Facebook Profile is simple – click on the Profile menu at the top of the page, scroll to the bottom of your profile and click the “Create a Profile Badge” link.

However, Facebook Pages don’t automatically come with a badge creation link.   Hopefully soon, the Facebook  Pagebadge application will be fixed to make this easier, but for now, you have to do it indirectly like this:

1. Log into Facebook.
2. Add your corporate logo as a photo.
3. Click on this photo, and scroll down until you see on the lower right part of the screen that says, “Make Profile Picture.”
4. Click on the Profile menu at the top of the page, scroll to the bottom of your profile and click the “Create a Profile Badge” link.
5. The badge will now have your corporate logo.  You may or may not want your name or other fields on the badge; adjust to taste.
6. Save the badge.
7. Right click on the badge and save it as an image.  Use this image anywhere you want a badge for your page.
8. Go back to Profile/Photos/Profile Pictures and restore your original profile picture (if desired).

Here are a couple of examples of what I did; the first is with my name and the second is without.  I’m using the second one as my Page badge.
