Birthday Celebrations and Incentives: Animal Crossing's August Badge Symbols
Exclusive Animal Crossing: New Horizons Profile Icons Available for Nintendo Switch Online Members
Nintendo Switch Online members can now redeem six additional profile icons inspired by Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as part of the rewards for subscribing to the service. These icons, based on the game's residents who celebrate their birthdays in August, are available now.
The icons, which can be used to customize one's look online, were first introduced in the system update 10.0.0 on April 14, 2020. They are separate from the twelve original Animal Crossing icons that have been available since the Nintendo Switch console's launch.
To redeem these exclusive icons, a Nintendo Account is necessary, and members can use their My Nintendo Platinum Points. Completing missions on the Nintendo Switch Online platform can also earn additional Platinum Points.
Please note that the Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for online features, and it auto-renews after the initial term unless canceled. The membership is not available in all countries.

However, as of September 4, 2021, the availability of these icon elements will end. It's important to check the Nintendo Switch Online app regularly to avoid missing any new icon elements.
