Humping Bunnies

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.

‘Innuendo is all well and good, but the real power of emoji is that you can get to the point and communicate what you’re thinking with just one image. So here it is, the much-needed humping bunnies emoji.’ — TwoPoints

Excerpt from the book The Story of Emoji by Gavin Lucas. External link: thestoryofemoji.com

TwoPoints.Net, the design studio, was founded in 2007 by Lupi Asensio and Martin Lorenz, but it actually exists since 2000. It emerged as an independent platform for experimental projects. The name TwoPoints refers to the colon found in German and Spanish that marks the transition between the speaker and his message. TwoPoints consider their work on visual communication to be like the two points between the sender and the receiver. The additional Net demonstrates that in spite of being a small office, they oversee large-scale projects that involve a network of excellent professionals from diverse fields; a network that changes according to each project. TwoPoints specialises in flexible visual identities and editorial projects. Some of their best known publications are Neuland, the I Love Type Series for the Hong Kong publisher Viction:ary and Pretty Ugly, Left, Right, Up, Down and Type Navigator for the Berlin-based publisher Gestalten. In 2012 TwoPoints launched their very own design school, Design Werkstatt (or Design Workshop in English) offering courses in Barcelona and Berlin.

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
