Hello Sam,
The image has to be square:
What properties should a badge image have?
The image for a badge should be a square PNG (or SVG). The file size should be a maximum of 256kb (this filesize limit seems to be a Backpack limitation, not a metadata spec) and should not be smaller than 90px square. When you create your badge image, it is recommended that you view it at a size of 50px square to ensure that the content remains legible when scaled down.
Your source image may be as large as you want. The following site, for example, creates the base image at 600x600 px:
http://toolness.github.io/chicago-badge-studio/studio.html
However, as badges were thought to be small, Moodle will resize it to a 100x100 pixel image to create the badge itself.
Hi Usman!
Thanks! Yes... quite some time, indeed. With lots and lots of work and with the project taking its time to take-off, but everything's been fine, thankfully.
It seems that Moodle has its ways to keep one from getting too comfortable; a few days ago I had an issue with badges and so I had to jump a bit in here to do some searching. As I finally found the problem and solved it, I returned to post about it... and well, you know the saying about old habits dying hard, I could not resist the temptation to take some time answer one or two posts
Is is great to see most of you around; as I once said, this is definitely one the best communities in Internet. Really.
How have you been? I imagine that quite busy... Moodle 3 already, wow! I see that the version 3.1 Testing & QA phase started a few days ago:

Cheers!
Yes, I saw the code, too, and that's why it surprised me seeing a day-old cache with that info; what you mentioned could be it, yes, i guess you are right on with that. In any case, well, it is now on Google's side, not much to do anymore.
Ok, maybe you could then try and suggest this at the Tracker:
As this seems to require some code modification, you could also try and ask for pointers at the General developer forum:
