The red 'you are here' badge plays with the idea of way finding systems and outdoor maps which indicate where viewers are. This is both a badge that talks about reinforcing the presence of a person from a viewers perspective, ackowledging they are here as well as being a useful badge to pin down on a map of your choice.
