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, defeating DJ Octavio in Return of the Mammalians, or buying everything from Cipher's Siftings. Some badges have multiple tiers, such as 4- or 5-star Freshness on the main weapon. Some Splatfest-related achievements, such as reaching Ruler rank, also reward badges.
There are currently 614 badges; the most recent update to add new badges was version 8.0.0.
The following tables of badges are arranged in the order that they appear in the Splashtag menu. The only exception to this is the Weapon Freshness tables for shooters and blasters, where in the in-game menu, the blasters are displayed between the badges for the Annaki Splattershot Nova and the L-3 Nozzlenose.
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 from the amiibo, Grizzco Industries, and Cuttlegear gear brands.
Five badges can be obtained in Return of the Mammalians by progressing through the story or reaching certain milestones. An additional twenty-four can be obtained in Side Order for reaching different milestones.

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.
This is repeated in Fresh Season 2024, which includes all the gear from the previous Fresh Season.
With the release of version 6.0.0, the Salmon Run Next Wave stage badges are now the only badges with the distinction of directly affecting gameplay (now allowing players to begin new shifts at higher base job titles than was previously possible).
If the player were to obtain all gear and level them up to 2★'s, the only golden brand badges that would unlock are SquidForce and Tentatek, with 130 and 104 stars respectively.

↑ 2.02.12.2These badges are only obtainable during a Splatfest.
↑The 10x badges depicting Shiver, Frye, and Big Man share their unlock criteria and are therefore rewarded to a player regardless of their chosen team during a Splatfest.
↑A "Straight" series is any series that ends with 5 wins. The series wins do not have to be consecutive.
↑ 5.05.1The Top X Rank badges are awarded to those players who finish in the top positions at the end of each season.
↑If a player finishes in the Top 500 or Top 10 they receive the lower-tier badges too if not acquired before.
↑ 7.07.1If a player reached Top 20% or Top 5% they receive the lower-tier badges too if not acquired before.
↑A Splatfest Tee temporarily adds two stars when obtained and can result in players receiving one of these two badges, even though the gear is removed after the conclusion of a Splatfest.
↑ 11.011.1Orders placed are automatically counted towards badge progress and no purchasing is technically required.
↑Concession tickets are immediately counted towards badge progress upon use and no participation in battles is technically required.
