if you don't want to use metapost you can also use svg for background for example:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{centered_svg}
draw lmt_svg [
filename = "badge.svg",
width = OverlayWidth,
y = OverlayHeight/2, ] ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay
[svgback]
[\useMPgraphic{centered_svg}]
\defineframed[Sback][location=low,background=svgback,frame=off,offset=8pt]
\starttext
this is a sample \Sback{1} text
\stoptext
