| 12 | +# The new Microsoft Store badges are here |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +We’ve refreshed the Microsoft Store badge to feature the new logo, with a more refined call-to-action to give users more confidence to acquire your app. These will go live on our [badge creator page](https://apps.microsoft.com/badge) on **August 12, 2024** in all supported languages. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +If you’re a developer with an app published on the Microsoft Store, and if you’ve been using these badges externally, you should switch to the new design once they’re live. |

| 31 | +### Some tips to make the most of your badge |
| 32 | +* We’ll have a different badge color for dark and light modes, and you should pick what works best for your website or allow it to be automatically detected. |
| 33 | +* We recommend using the standard JavaScript-based badge, but if your website doesn’t use JavaScript, you’ll be able to create a non-JS version too. |
| 34 | +* Remember to add a campaign ID with a unique string so you can better track your traffic sources on the Microsoft Store Partner Center dashboard. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Please avoid altering the badge – including changing the color, the text, or the elements within. |
