Sorry, I didn't think I would have to lead you all over by the hand.

I have done multi-colored badges using the same technique, it just takes more time, the tutorial is only to show people the basics to give them a point to start from.
It's up to you whether you develop the technique more or get stuck at only one color.

I tried the decal method, I wasn't satisfied with the results.
