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.

‘The set continues the theme of my recent work, with each badge expressing a different state of mind (or mood) on a sliding scale – to be worn as appropriate to how you might feel. A kind of mental health emoji if you will.’ — Adam Pointer

Adam Pointer is a Graphic Artist based in Newcastle UK. Adam’s artwork takes a playful look inside our collective state of mind to reveal the hidden anxieties and modern mental afflictions that saturate our headspace. In this collection each badge expresses a different state of mind (or mood) on a sliding scale to be worn as appropriate to how your head feels.

Adam was an early contributor to Stereohype way back in 2005. His first collection looked at alternative symbols of English identity.
