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.

Jeff Knowles founded Planning Unit with Nick Hard in 2011 to champion creative solutions, craft design and work with clients that inspire him as much as he inspires them. Turning clients into leaders, not simply helping them fit in. Jeff regularly contributes as a commentator to press and judge for award panels. He also lectures to both the design community and universities. Planning Unit is a reincarnation of co-founder Nick Hard’s grandfather’s design studio of the same name from the 1960’s.
