For those that are not points/units driven or are... These are really a fun addition to self accomplishments
 
As I understand it... Each badge changes the background color as you achieve new levels in each project. For example...
 
Say you chose GO Fight Against Malaria. The main body of the badge never changes and looks like this but the background does each time you return a certain amount of completed work. The background colors go like this...
 

 
And for those that are using SNURKS sig... The lower bars are all of the causes and they match the colors achieved in the badges (As I understand it, to be corrected if I am mistaken).
 
You can see your badges with every post you make on the WCG forums or you can look in your "My Grid" and it shows you a list (Once you have any). 
 
I came across this thread, that linked me to a post.. That helps explain them a little for each cause as well...

Exactly right, those sigs pack a lot of info into a small image.
Here are the levels:
There are 6 levels of badges for run time donated to each research project and each is denoted by a different color background:
  • Bronze - 14 days
  • Silver - 45 days
  • Gold - 90 days
  • Ruby - 180 days
  • Emerald - 1 year
  • Sapphire - 2 years
I was just thinking last night we should have a thread - or retitle this one - with a "post your badges" subject so everyone can post their milestones just as we have in the F@H section.

I'm a "naked cruncher" , no badges, so no clothes either!  If I get a badge, I'll cover up something.
