The title says it all!
If you would like me to make a set of badges for GYTB, comment your requests here.
Badges go inside your Badges folder on the root of your SD card.
I'd also before asking a request search on Themeplaza to see if someone's made your badges already.
Ask away!
If You'd like a 3DS custom theme check out my other thread Here, and request a theme inside of that thread!
ThemePlaza profile here for other themes, and badges. Below you find the most effective methods to install badges.

INSTALLING BADGES IN 2024 METHODS:
Anemone3DS is the cleanest, and most efficient way to manage any of your themes and Badges now in one place!
The newest release of Anemone3DS now has Badge support allowing sub folders, Backup Badges folder, Dumping themes, and more.
To install a set of badges with a subfolder, I suggest you backup all your badges first from the dumping menu, by pressing X and navigate the menu.
Once you have backed up your current badges, you should start making sub folders within your Badges folder.
Name the sub folders whatever you like in the Badges folder, and to set an icon find or resize a 48x48 PNG and Anemone uses it as a Menu Icon for your folder. Rename that 48x48 images name to
You can have I believe 100 subfolders within your badges folder, and 1000 TOTAL badges. Keep in mind larger Badges count for more slots.
If you install the badges without sub folders, it will all show up in one folder through the home menu, Similar to how GYBT did it! Anemone3DS now will ignore any badges over 1000, and will not try and install them once that limit is reached to prevent crashing. Then writes to the EXT DATA, Presto!
Either option, should get your badges installed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GYTB aka "Give You this Budge" still, and will always be a solid way to install badges!
For anyone who does not already know, GYTB is the previous method of further customizing your console with being able to decorate your home screen with PNGS. It is honestly very fun, and if you do not have it, download it from universal updater or Here, and drag the necessary files to your 3DS to install the CIA.
Before you run the software, make sure you have a badges folder in the root of your SD.
Then simply run GYBT and the app manually goes through every badge you have in that folder and puts it on the screen. At the end it will attempt to write EXT DATA. If it is successful, it will tell you the EXT DATA was written successfully with a message at the bottom of the command line!
Access badges by hitting the top left corner drop down menu on your 3DS home menu!
When downloading Badges from themeplaza, make sure you remove the Preview PNG inside each badge zip file before importing only the PNGs. The Pngs cannot be in a sub folder, they all just go inside the badges folder individually so you can just copy and paste them inside that folder.
The preview image of each is named "preview" and it will crash the software, also the new _seticon from anemone3DS will also crash the software. It can only interpret and read specified sizes for images. GYBT cannot use subfolders, so make sure all your badges you are trying to install are in one folder in your SD card using this method!
Presto!
