Hi!

I was trying to modify the label of the status badge for .rst files.  
e.g. the default label is `circleci` and I want to change by something like `tests-<my_label>`

I checked the docs: [https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/status-badges/](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/status-badges/)  
But I couldn’t find the proper way to do it.

Any suggestion whether this can be done will be pretty much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @edgarriba! Thanks for your patience. Right now, I don’t think you can customize the status badges.

Hi @edgarriba, try the following.

[Custom: project not found](https://img.shields.io/circleci/build/gh/:user/:repo?token=...&label=Custom) Label&logo=circleci

**NOTE** : The `token` param is for private repositories. And the `gh` is the `:vcsType` and means GitHub which also can be different for you.
