The Community Contributors are the people who have taken it upon themselves to provide service to the osu! community at great cost to themselves — tools and features that many of us take for granted today. These users are given a badge to denote that they did something notable for the entire community.

Not to be mistaken as osu! Alumni, which are previous members of various osu! teams that retired, Community Contributor badges are given to public freelancers who had gone beyond the call of duty to improve osu! and the community environment.

Contributors who registered their accounts during an older era of the game have the original badge design on their profile, while newer contributors receive a more colourful variant.

History

During February 2018, the old contributor badge by RBRat3 was redesigned by flyte due to not matching the new website's colour scheme.1

1st design change comparison

Due to a lack of "soul",1 the design was changed again on 21 July 2023. This time the initial design was refreshed by RBRat3 and split into two versions, where older contributors (with a user ID below 4,000,000) saw a revert to the original while newer contributors received a more colourful variant.
