‘I’ve been listening to LOTS of metal lately and have found myself unable to communicate the METAL effectively with traditional emoji (except for maybe [red-faced “Japanese Goblin” mask]), so I have created these three new emoji on that theme. These are for the metalheads!’ — Tane Williams

These custom emoji artworks originally featured in the book The Story of Emoji by Gavin Lucas and designed by FL@33’s Tomi Vollauschek (Prestel Publishing). If you could create a new emoji, what would it be? Gavin Lucas asked a number of image-makers from around the world to design new emoji characters they wish really existed. Book contributions were submitted just before iOS 9 was released (which also included the 'Metal Fingers' / 'Devil's Horns' emoji addition). One day soon – hopefully – all these bespoke emoji suggestions will be included... This one inch (25mm) button badge series is a collaboration between Stereohype, Gavin Lucas and the selected emoji contributors Ali Graham, Crispin Finn, David Henckel, FL@33, Friso Blankevoort, Hey Studio, Jan Kallwejt, Julian Morey, Liza Nelson, Lucy Vigrass, Matt Chase, Matthew Bromley, Mr Bingo, Nick Shea, Noma Bar, Peskimo, Richard Hogg, Rob Flowers, Serge Seidlitz, Tane Williams and TwoPoints. Stereohype sells Emoji Series badges separately and we also give button badges away as free extra treats with each order. Released: April 2016 as part of the book launch exhibition. Please feel free to add a complimentary button badge of your choice to your next £/€ 5+ order using this add-on checkout voucher code: FreeBadgeOfChoice
