designed by Costa del Sol Lewitt

The series is called play/balls.
The three badges are of a tennis ball, a basketball and a volleyball. It's inspired by 70's minimalism and conceptualism, basically taking the lines and round shape of different types of balls. The lack of color gives them a mutual look and abstraction, almost to the point of the banal, like a paint-by-numbers. Boiled down to the essentials, all we see is pattern and lines, where all origin seems to disappear.

The artist group Costa del Sol Lewitt is a multidisciplinary art/design duo from Denmark, consisting of Pater Neo (aka. Pater N.) and Line Svensson (aka Line S.)
Their background is in Film, Advertising and Graphic Design.
