      @Chip-Valecek Ooh yeah. Like a "reigning champ" kind of thing would be cool.

        @Chip-Valecek Hi. I believe I am an OG. I subscribed to SVS Learn around 2015/2016 (then SVS switched over computer systems) and took courses/participated in the Forum sporadically for years. I have been trying to be more consistent in the last year or two.

        Does OG stand for Old Guys and Old Gals, or ?

            I'm not as active as I'd like to be either, but I've been around since June of 2017 on the forum. I've been a subscriber since they opened SVS for subscription though. Can't imagine what I'd have done without SVS!

                      I guess I'm a "pro" then! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: I published 2 animal coloring books on Amazon back in 2017. Here's the links for verification.

                        @Chip-Valecek Or is there something else that we need to do in order to get the "Pro" badge?

                          I've been around since before 2017 😉 though only intermittently active depending on what is going on in my life at any given time.

                          And I don't know if having done work for Cricut counts as "published".... are we just talking about book publishing, or paid illustration work in general?

                            @Sarah-LuAnn click "edit" under "profile" - check your groups - click svsog and save changes and it will show up - it looks like Chip did not forget you 🙂

                              @avfarrar @Sarah-LuAnn the PRO badge is for people how have been published by a publisher. Self publishing doesn't count.

                                @Kevin-Longueil Ok, I clicked edit, groups, svsog... I don't see save changes though. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

                                ETA: I figured it out! Thanks for your help 😉

                                @Chip-Valecek so pro is only for book publishing? To make it clearer what I'm asking about, here are a few of the designs I was paid to produce:
                                https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/3d-floral-home-d-eacutecor-digital-set.html
                                https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holiday-snowflakes-digital-set.html
                                https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holly-and-ivy-digital-set.html

                                They're more in the realm of licensing rather than publishing. So I guess my question is, does "pro" refer to book work only, or other applications of art and illustration?
