Abstract

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.

His brother Hervé Bienaimé is already part of our badge collection after wining Stereohype's annual design competition in 2006.

Olivier Bienaimé graduated in 2005 from Gobelins School of Animation, Paris. In 2004 he set up Paris-based design studio Les 84 (later renamed to 84.Paris) with his twin brother Hervé. They are specialised in print, scenography, motion design and branding.
