# About Badges

A badge is a symbol that tells other Amazon.com customers something interesting about you.

If you wrote a review, you might see badges under your name and before the review that looks like the following:

Some places on Amazon.com may not display all of your badges at the same time; we try to choose the most appropriate badges for each page. To see all of your badges, go to your Profile.
