Celebrate Your Teaching Passion with Our Personalised Subject Icon Badge
Teaching is far more than a profession: it is a calling shaped by genuine passion for your subject and endless dedication to your students. Whether you are igniting curiosity over laboratory beakers, unpacking classic literature, solving complex equations, or fostering creativity at the art easel, your subject defines your classroom community. Our Personalised Teacher Name and Subject Icon Badge offers a distinctive, polished way to showcase your role. Having spent years in national retail operations before founding our family workshop, we know how quickly generic, mass produced plastic name tags break, scuff, or ruin good clothing. Individually crafted in our Central Coast workshop from natural birch timber or premium cast acrylic, this bespoke badge pairs your name and discipline with an engraved subject icon, creating a durable identifier you will wear with pride across every school term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which subject icons are available for this badge?
We offer a diverse selection of curriculum icons, including Science laboratory beakers, Mathematics symbols, English literature books, Visual Arts paint palettes, Music notation, History globes, Drama comedy masks, Physical Education whistles, and classic Primary Education apples. If you teach a specialised subject not listed in our standard menu, simply contact our workshop and we will happily discuss custom icon options.
Which backing should I choose: magnetic clip or safety pin?
Our strong magnetic clip is the most popular choice for teachers because it holds firmly through knitwear, blouses, shirts, and dresses without piercing holes or damaging fabric. If you wear a pacemaker, work near specialised magnetic equipment, or attach your badge to a heavy canvas workshop apron, we recommend selecting our stainless steel safety pin.
Can I include two subjects on the one badge?
Yes. You can enter two subjects such as Science and Maths or History and English. Our workshop team manually balances the typography so your name remains the primary focal point while your teaching areas remain crisp and easy to read.
Can our school faculty or department order in bulk?
Yes. We regularly produce custom uniform name badges for Australian primary and secondary faculties. For faculty orders or custom school crest integration, reach out directly to makeitpersonalgiftco@mail.com with your details.
How should I clean and store my subject badge?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, clean microfibre cloth to remove chalk dust, whiteboard marker residue, or fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, bleach, or acetone, as these can cloud the acrylic surface or damage the natural timber grain.
Where can I view matching educator gifts and classroom accessories?
You can view our complete range of bespoke teacher gifts, custom desk plates, and engraved appreciation stars directly online at www.makeitpersonalgiftco.au.
