An illuminated exterior badge assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle body surface-mounted badge and a circuit board underlying the badge and comprising three independently actuable sets of light sources. A controller is operatively connected to the circuit board and configured to control one or more of an activation sequence or an illumination intensity of the three independently actuable sets of light sources. On detecting a vehicle start-up condition, the controller incrementally actuates the set of light sources beginning with one or more light sources associated with a center portion of the circuit board and proceeding to a plurality of light sources associated with a perimeter of the circuit board. The converse actuation pattern is observed on vehicle power-down.
