2. Technical Specifications
To maintain authenticity and visual consistency, the following CSS properties define the badge construction. The badge is constructed using pure CSS to ensure scalability and crisp rendering on all devices.
Property Value Description
Background Color #1877F2 Official Facebook Blue (RGB: 24, 119, 242)
Shape Circle (Border-radius: 50%) Perfect circular container
Icon Color #FFFFFF (White) High contrast checkmark
Icon Geometry Rotated L-shape 45-degree rotation of border elements
Implementation Code
The following CSS class definitions are used to generate the badges shown in this document.
/* Base Badge Container */
.fb-verified-badge {
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
background-color: #1877F2; /* Official Brand Color */
border-radius: 50%;
color: white;
}
/* Checkmark Construction using Border Manipulation */
.fb-checkmark {
display: block;
transform: rotate(45deg);
border-bottom: 2px solid white;
border-right: 2px solid white;
/* Size must be defined relative to container */
}
3. Design Guidelines
When implementing the verification badge, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure it meets platform standards:
Spacing: The badge should maintain a small margin (typically 4-6px) from the text it verifies. It should never touch the text directly.
Alignment: The badge should be vertically centered relative to the text line height. For multi-line text, it aligns with the first line or the specific entity name being verified.
Color Integrity: Do not alter the color of the badge. It must remain #1877F2 on light backgrounds. On dark backgrounds, a white border may be added to the outer circle for separation, though the inner blue remains constant.
