How it's used
While 徽章 is the standard term for a badge or insignia, it often refers to metal or plastic pins used for decoration or identification. In casual settings, people might also use the loanword 襟章 to specifically refer to a pin-back badge worn on clothing. Using 徽章 sounds slightly more formal or official compared to the more common 襟章.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 徽章 with 獎牌, which specifically refers to a medal awarded for winning a competition or achievement. Remember that 徽章 is generally for identification or decoration, whereas 獎牌 implies a reward.
