There are five categories of awards given at three different levels:

IC vs. OOC

The difference between awards, pennants, badges, and service ribbons:

awards and badges: Presented for OOC accomplishments by an individual simmer/writer. Awards and badges can be displayed on any and all characters' pages of that simmer/writer.
service ribbons: Presented for IC performed by a specific character. Service ribbons can only be displayed on that specific character's page.
pennants: Presented for OOC accomplishments by a united crew. Pennants can be displayed on simming installation pages.
