In Splatoon 3, a variety of badges can be earned through achievements and playing the game, and up to three of them can be displayed at once on the bottom-right corner of a player's Splashtag.
Badges are awarded for fulfilling certain criteria such as getting 50 Turf War wins, earning 10,000 Grizzco points, and defeating DJ Octavio in Return of the Mammalians. Some badges have multiple tiers, such as 4- and 5-star Freshness on the main weapon. Some Splatfest-related achievements, such as reaching Ruler rank, also reward badges.
There are currently 426 badges as of version 4.0.0, and the following tables of badges are arranged in the order that they appear in the Splashtag menu.
Weapon Freshness badges
These badges are obtained for raising a main weapon's Freshness to 4 and 5 stars respectively.
These badges are obtained by reaching certain levels, ranks or winning a certain number of matches. Some of them can only be obtained during a Splatfest, with progress towards the needed wins carrying over to the next Splatfest.
If a player accumulates 30 and 100 stars for gear of a specific gear brand, they receive a normal and golden badge respectively. Excluded are pieces of gear not featured in shops like the Splatfest Tee or amiibo-branded pieces of gear.
Reaching cartain levels in Tableturf Battle, collecting a specific amount of cards or defeating characters multiple times, rewards the player with a badges.

Trivia
The badges depicting the Squid Sisters and Deep Cut are the only ones who share an unlock requirement each.
It is possible to obtain the Crab-N-Go concessions badges without participating in any battles with a bonus active, as the game only tracks how many tickets have been used.
It is assured to obtain the Murch and Spyke Orders badges without purchasing any of the orders, as the game only tracks how many orders have been sent in.
In a promotional image for badges, the player has 5★ weapon badges for weapons they don't have the 4★ badge in, which is impossible as a 5★ badge's requirement is an extension of the 4★ badge's.
As of Version 2.0.0, it is possible to obtain all 4 badges relating to Tricolor Battles during a single Splatfest, as players are not locked to be attackers or defenders.
During Fresh Season 2023, the base-level Z+F badge could technically be obtained for free as the catalog during the season only included gear from Z+F, with the total star value equating more than 30 stars, the amount of stars needed to get a brand badge.
