All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic, high-quality, one-inch (25 mm) metal-back badges with a so-called D-pin fastening. Small stickers on the reverse provide details such as the artist’s name, release date and series number. This growing collection of mobile mini canvases includes more than 1,700 individual designs by over 650 graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and artists from around the world. It brings together all contributions to the FL@33 / Tomi Vollauschek-curated B.I.O.

All badges are manufactured in Europe.

Vision: "Forget about your contact lenses with this 'objet trouvé' from a Golden Gate bridge viewer." China: "Is there anything these days that is not made in China? A reminder to the growing Asian power." Steak: "This means 'steak' in Japanese, a stylish statement for all carnivores."
