How do I add 'badge' images?

I was wanting to add an image for a particular group on my forum. I'd like to make it look like the image attached.

<3 always for your help. :)

I hope the CM badge is just an example, and you are not thinking of borrowing the badge from here?

Well, adding badges is easy actually.
Just upload a badge image to Themes/{theme}/images/ for all your themes,
then create a new membergroup, and use the uploaded image for the groups star image and, set the amount of stars to 1.

:P No, I don't steal. I've had my graphic designs and web designs stolen from me countless times, so I know how frustrating and agonizingly aggravating that is.

In any case, thanks for showing me how to do that. :) I've managed to add the image that I want, but it is not showing up on my forum anywhere (even when I make a new post). :S

Good, just wanted to make sure ;)

Now, since you have to add the badge as a star image to a membergroup,
then you must also add that membergroup to someones profile as a primary membergroup
in order for the badge to show for that member
( just like the regular stars are shown, based on the users primare membergroup; Admins red, and so on ). :)

Ahhh it needs to be a primary member group. Hmm is there any way for the image to show if, say, the group is added to a member as an 'additional group'?

Also, I tried switching myself from admin to 'Gold' (the membergroup which has the image that I want to show), but the image is still not showing. I don't even know if I'm making any sense. @_@

This is a thread in which I posted recently: http://audeamusrpg.com/forums/index.php?topic=72.20

My account is 'Irina Starr'. As you can see, it only says 'Gold' and doesn't show the image. :S I'm starting to wonder if there's a setting to disable star images? Is that possible? If it is, maybe I disabled the image.

*Edit: Looking at another thread whose OP seems to want a similar mod as me, I think it'd be better to describe what I want as "multiple badges". :)

I don't see any star images or badges on any user there, so that may be a theme thing - perhaps that theme doesn't show them?
I don't think there's any setting for that....

Oh man, that bummed me out. :S Ah well, I guess that can't be helped. Thank-you for answering my questions! ^^
