Badges are a type of unlockable object rewarded to users for participation in certain activities that are not tied to games. Activities such as commenting, replying to comments, and hearting games can gain badges. The user is not alerted of a badge being gained, they are only alerted by looking in their account notifications.

The image included with the January 20th 2012 Nitrome blog update showed a badge that was not released upon accounts being made public[1]. This badge showed satellite on a gold circle. Judging from its appearance, it might be an old design for the Well Connected badge.
The old badge.
