Gift Box: 3 button badges (Doodle Mix)

This elegant matchbox-style gift box contains three designs from Stereohype's growing button badge collection – now available for the first time in this superb packaging solution. A rose-gold foil-blocked Stereohype mascot squirrel was hand-printed in the UK at the top of the gift box (outside dimensions: 75 x 72 x 16mm). Inside the beautiful matt black cardboard gift box is a black flock pad and badges are directly pinned into it. All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic high quality one inch (25mm) metal back badges with so-called D-pin (although it looks more like an 'e'). Tiny stickers at the back of each button badge mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. Badges are manufactured with love and care in the United Kingdom.

To me badges need to be iconic. Their history combined with their small size creates this need to be iconic, direct and dynamic. Because of all these things I wanted to put a lot of thought into how I approached these images. I title this set ‘The Bad Apples’. They act as kind of a descriptive nametag. They say the first step to recovery is admission; I think when we acknowledge our flaws we make the first blow against them. So I am always the first to admit I am a bad apple.
