The new nametags took a team of graphic artists and costume designers nearly a year to develop.

While something as small as a nametag may seem minor to some, Disney says that the badges “provide a sense of pride and personal connection as an iconic part of Disney heritage and culture, both with cast members and guests from around the globe.”
