It’s the #1 question we’re asked every year… “When will badges ship?”

And the answer is either “they already have” or “very soon”, as badges have started to hit mailboxes. Just like in previous years, attendees receive their badges first, with Pros/Press receiving their badges later. To view your shipping status, you can login to your Member IDs to get tracking details on your badge. Note that though the tracking number is USPS.

As a reminder, don’t forget to cover up your name when you share your badge. In years past, people’s photos with their name showing have been taken from social and used as the photo to sell fake badges on ebay or Craigslist. If Comic-Con International sees that listing and it’s your name on it, you will likely be banned, with no recourse. It’s happened many, many times. So be safe, and cover it.

This year’s badge design is for Dexter: Resurrection, and features a blood-spattered design. Those who attended the convention in the early 2010’s remember plenty of Dexter presence at the con, including several years worth of lanyards. And while not confirmed, we’ll be shocked if there isn’t a panel to promote the upcoming series this year.

From @IamPenman on Twitter, here is a look at the design:
