What it is

The member’s standing, in an aside next to the profile or on the hub. A 4px honor-gold top bar; fact labels in slate. This is where the tier badge goes.

When to use

  • Use it in the aside next to a member profile.
  • Use it on the membership hub to state the member’s tier.
  • Use it wherever the tier badge for one member appears with that member’s facts.

When not to use

Rules

  • Compose it on a card: class="hs-card hs-credential". Load credential.css after card.css.
  • Keep this order: .hs-eyebrow, the title (.hs-card__title.hs-credential__title) with an optional tier badge, <dl class="hs-credential__facts">, <ul class="hs-credential__links hs-hide-below-md">.
  • Give two facts. Wrap each dt/dd pair in a <div>; the grid sets two columns.
  • The 4px top bar is honor gold (--hs-honor-gold): recognition only. The eyebrow takes gold ink from the card.
  • Set fact labels in --hs-slate, never --hs-slate-500.
  • Every link carries data-ph-capture-attribute-cta and data-ph-capture-attribute-cta-loc.
  • Add to LinkedIn carries organizationId (the Honor Society LinkedIn Page), never organizationName, so the entry links to the Page.
  • Put .hs-hide-below-md on the links list when it holds Add to LinkedIn: LinkedIn's add-to-profile form opens on desktop web only.

Accessibility

  • Use <section aria-labelledby> that points to the title id.
  • The top bar is decoration (2.4:1 on white). The eyebrow and the title carry the meaning.
  • Fact labels are slate 6.2:1. Slate 500 (3.7:1) fails AA at 12px.
  • The facts are a <dl>, so a screen reader pairs each label with its value.
