When using Shield.io badges in Markdown, you can modify various aspects such as badge color, text, logos, and styles.
### 1. Changing Badge Color
You can change the badge color by replacing `<color>` with your desired hexadecimal color code in the badge URL.
For Example: `![Custom Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Custom%20Badge-blue?style=flat&logo=github)`
Result: ![Custom Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Custom%20Badge-blue?style=flat&logo=github)
Replace `blue` with your desired color.
### 1a. Using hexadecimal colors
Alternatively, you can use hexadecimal colors to get a specific shade of a color that shield.io may not have built in.
For Example: `![Custom Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Custom%20Badge-02354b?style=flat&logo=github)`
Result: ![Custom Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Custom%20Badge-02354b?style=flat&logo=github)
---
### 2. Modifying Text
Change the text displayed on the badge by altering the text after the badge name in the URL (in this case, its **Some%20Placeholder%20Text**).
For Example: `![Modified Text Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Some%20Placeholder%20Text-blue?style=flat&logo=github)`
Result: ![Modified Text Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Some%20Placeholder%20Text-blue?style=flat&logo=github)
### 2a. Splitting text
Want to split the text to have 2 different sections? You can do this by adding a `-` between the words.
For Example: `![Modified Text Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Made%20In-Markdown-blue?style=flat&logo=github)`
Result: ![Modified Text Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Made%20In-Markdown-blue?style=flat&logo=github)
---
### 3. Adding Logos
Include logos on badges by specifying the logo name after the logo= parameter in the badge URL.
For Example (using the Docker logo): `![Logo Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Text%20with%20Logo-black?style=flat&logo=docker)`
Result: ![Logo Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Text%20with%20Logo-black?style=flat&logo=docker)
Another Example (using the Sass logo): `![Logo Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Text%20with%20Logo-pink?style=flat&logo=Sass)`
Result: ![Logo Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Text%20with%20Logo-pink?style=flat&logo=Sass)
### 3a. Supported icons/logos
Shield.io uses [Simple Icons](https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons) and a small sub-set of it's own icons/logos. If you can find your icon/logo on https://simpleicons.org, it will work with your badge. Shield.io also has its own few custom badges that you can find [here](https://github.com/badges/shields/tree/6e803367e0f3c8e0cc4196a700af37fac1629f4d/logo).
