All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic high quality one inch (25mm) metal back badges with so-called D-pin. Tiny stickers at the back mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. The growing collection of these mobile mini canvases – featuring over 1,700 individual designs by over 600 international graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and artists – consists of all B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) contributions, winners of Stereohype's annual button badge design competition and additional series such as the special collaborations: AFOMFS Series, MICA Series, 10x10 Series and Emoji Series. Badges are manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Kerstin Hlava-Landeck studied Visual Communication at the FH Darmstadt, Germany, where she graduated in 1998. She is currently working freelance in and around Würzburg, Bavaria – mainly in the area of corporate identity. Her design is based on a simple philosophy: "There are days when I can't find any more space in my head to safe all the pictures created in myself – that's why I print them out" ("Es gibt Tage, da finde ich in meinem Kopf keine freie Windung, um all die Bilder zu speichern, die sich in mir bilden – deshalb drucke ich sie aus!").
