The ID had your photo on it, and was color coded. Green was the lowest (what I had), and White was the best (IOC members). In addition, the badge was supposedly chemically coded. Also, you need a SECRET clearance to get a badge for GE's ELAB in Syracuse, New York. The badge has your picture on it and a clip to hang on your pocket. Of course, you can just walk right into the place, but you need a SECRET clearance to get a badge.
