After suffering through long lines, sore feet, and inscrutable hotel lotteries, you deserve a little recognition.

Welcome to the Con Rangers! We create and develop merit badges celebrating convention enthusiasts like you, as well as wearable accessories, stickers, and more.

Our convention merit badges are a way to reward yourself for the little (and big!) aspects of the convention-going experience. You deserve a badge for spending all day in line, or remembering to hydrate, or even actually buying a comic!

Welcome rangers!

We're headed to Comic Con!

“[The Con Rangers] combine my comprehensive knowledge of con life and my inherent need to receive token recognition for my narrow, specialized knowledge into one niche product.”

-Will Romine, Bleeding Cool

We had been tossing around the idea of convention merit badges for years, and at San Diego Comic-Con in 2016, we finally decided to make it happen. There were six designs, we only manufactured 50 of each badge, and they arrived Friday night of the con—but despite all that we rapidly sold out of our limited stock, and so the Con Rangers were born.

Many years later we're now a team of four rangers, working hard to bring you more merit badges, sashes, and scavenger hunts this year and the years to come.
