badge button pin – with especially designed FL@33 badge

Remember our call for entries a while ago? Well – we are happy that the book by Gavin Lucas and designed by Nathan Gale was finally released in summer 2007. Have a look whether we still have some copies over at stereohype.com – normal and limited edition!

The book includes a dedicated Stereohype section featuring our growing collection until competition 2005 and B.I.O. (by invitation only) series 4.

The limited edition version is packaged with a set of 10 real button badges especially designed for the book – by Alexander Gelman, Michael C. Place (Build), FL@33, Antoni & Alison, Trevor Jackson, Mark Pawson, Fred Deakin, Kim Jones and Femke Hiemstra (Femtasia).

(...) B.I.O. undoubtedly makes Stereohype one of the coolest online shopping destinations for button badges. (...)

Official book description:
Badges, buttons and pins have been around for over a century. Today they're everywhere: on lapels and bags all over the world and in the sketchbooks and on the screens of some of the hottest graphic designers, artists and illustrators. A badge can be a cheap and easy way to display political or cultural affiliations or it can simply be a fashion accessory. Cheap to produce and easy to make at home, the humble badge is the new T-shirt. A guide to the best and most beautiful badges being produced right now - be they graphic, textual or plain illustrative - this book explores the rich variety of uses of the badge since the year 2000 – whether it be promotion, revenue-raising or simply decorative. It will appeal to graphic designers, illustrators, fashion designers, artists, music lovers and badge enthusiasts of all ages.
