Abstract
A product badge coupled to a product, such as an information handling system, has a manually-selectable orientation to allow the orientation of the product badge to change for adapting to changes in the orientation of the product. A product badge support rotationally couples the product badge to the product for user selection of a desired orientation of product information, such as a manufacturer logo or a product identification number. Manual activation to change product badge orientation includes pushing the product badge into the product badge support to engage opposing cams, pushing the product badge edge to rotate the product badge to an opposing side having product information of another orientation, and pushing the product badge to activate a retention mechanism for release and retention of a selected of plural clips.
