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. (By Invitation Only) series, winners of Stereohype’s international open-call button badge design competition, and additional collections including the special collaborations, AFOMFS Series, MICA Series, 10×10 Series and Emoji Series. All badges are manufactured in Europe.

‘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.
