Badge
A badge should be used to bring a meaningful piece of information out. It may either be textual or numerical. A badge may represent a status or a number of unread notifications for example. Contrary to tags, badges cannot be interactive. And multiple badges are not to be used side by side. A number of variations are suggested here to help you use accessible badges.
