___ FL@33's limited edition badge is called Marble. Quoting ourselves from the Badge Button Pin book – we wrote at the time: 'Badges are very much like the glass marbles we used to play with as children. They are usually part of a collection where some are added, others are lost or exchanged while each is an individual object of beauty.'
