@Chip-Valecek Or is there something else that we need to do in order to get the "Pro" badge?
Show off your badge!

I'm not as active as I'd like to be either, but I've been around since June of 2017 on the forum. I've been a subscriber since they opened SVS for subscription though. Can't imagine what I'd have done without SVS!
-
@LisaF Yes yes yes @Chip-Valecek needs a special badge especially for the SVS monthly contest slide show! He does Rock!

This is great, thanks Chip!

Can I get an SVS OG badge?

@holleywilliamson Just added it for you, edit your profile and select it in your groups.

I guess I'm a "pro" then! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: I published 2 animal coloring books on Amazon back in 2017. Here's the links for verification.

I've been around since before 2017
though only intermittently active depending on what is going on in my life at any given time.And I don't know if having done work for Cricut counts as "published".... are we just talking about book publishing, or paid illustration work in general?
-
@Sarah-LuAnn click "edit" under "profile" - check your groups - click svsog and save changes and it will show up - it looks like Chip did not forget you
-
@avfarrar @Sarah-LuAnn the PRO badge is for people how have been published by a publisher. Self publishing doesn't count.
-
@Kevin-Longueil Ok, I clicked edit, groups, svsog... I don't see save changes though. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
ETA: I figured it out! Thanks for your help
@Chip-Valecek so pro is only for book publishing? To make it clearer what I'm asking about, here are a few of the designs I was paid to produce:
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/3d-floral-home-d-eacutecor-digital-set.html
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holiday-snowflakes-digital-set.html
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holly-and-ivy-digital-set.htmlThey're more in the realm of licensing rather than publishing. So I guess my question is, does "pro" refer to book work only, or other applications of art and illustration?

@Chip-Valecek Thanks. Good to know.
