NA (Intl Code Of Signals)

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 Europe.

This artwork is also available as Button Badge Motif Print.

The internationally recognised peace symbol is a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters ‘N’ and ‘D’, standing for nuclear disarmament. Alice Tosey's set of four button badges is a stronger call for the abolition of nuclear weapons, exploring forms of communication for the letters ‘N’ and ‘A’ using morse code, international code of signals, binary code and semaphore flags.

Alice has been working as an independent creative since 2021. Having lived and worked in both London and Tokyo, she’s gained over twelve years industry experience across both locations. Working with design studios and collaborating directly with clients, she has focused her career to create work for education, culture and non-profit organisations on various projects ranging from brand identities, print design, as well as typographic and wayfinding systems.

Alongside her professional work she develops personal projects that explore her cultural heritage of Japan and the UK; inspiring her collaborative approach and curiosity to deepen understanding and foster connection in multicultural settings.
