It should also be noted that these badges are not the same as achievable [[Badges\|profile badges]]. The Age Verified Badge was removed, and the Verified 18+ badge was changed from red to blue, stating: <blockquote>''"Essentially, this marker simply meant that you had completed the process - you had verified your identity, but you may not have been 18 or older."''</blockquote>and <blockquote>''"Red looked really bad on some headsets and didn't match our visual design."''
