Okay. Regular customers may think they've come to the wrong website, but instead you have arrived at the new website of Button Badges! Hope you like it - let us know if you don't! The old site at www.button-badges.co.uk now redirects here.



If you need text to run around the edge of your badge, but don't have the software to do it, worry not. We can do it for you here for free!

Badges We Like
Here's a selection of badges we've worked on recently or have pulled out of the archives that we particularly like for one reason or another.

Childhood lost

Every badge can tell a story. The one above is of a little Peruvian girl who was photographed by French fashion photographer, Richard Mar. He travelled around Peru and took photos of kids who are the breadwinners for their families. The badge itself is based on an illustration by Bournemouth art student, James Majowski, and his attention to detail and the beauty of the artwork really blew us away.

Power to the people!

It was more a case of man the pubs than the barricades when the former town of Cliffe in Sussex declared independence on the May Bank Holiday this year. A president was elected, a new flag was hoisted and a traditional team game involving a damp beer towel (don't ask!) took place in the Brewery Yard. And of course, to commemorate such a prestigious day, button badges were made. "Thanks for the badges," said Clare at hrs graphics. "They were really well done and very popular."

The devil is in the detail!



Santa Dog. Do band names come any better than that? Santa Dog. And not just a great name either. The badge design was beautiful too. The picture on this page just won't do it justice, but believe me when I tell you it was, well, top dog. "Got the badges today and they're gorgeous!", said the band's guitar-slinging vocalist, Rowena. "You've done a wonderful job on them, thanks so much. Hopefully we can put a repeat order in soon."

Book launch?



You'll be as surprised as we are to know that we have never once been named in the Queen's Honours List for our services to button badges. Seriously, we haven't. But we have gone one better. We were made "honorary Maplin's Yellowcoats" for producing badges to help promote Rob Cope's forthcoming book on the classic TV comedy series, Hi-De-Hi!, called Hello Campers!. "They are perfect," said happy camper, Rob. "I couldn't have wished for a closer match to my original idea." Ho-de-ho!

The future of rock n' roll?



Not surprisingly we've made thousands of badges for bands of every description - punk bands, ska bands, brass bands, rock bands, pop bands, thrash metal bands. In fact you can't even call yourself a band unless you have a button badge to your name. One of our favourite badges features musician Elia Rulli with the image taken from a crumpled photo of him as a three year old kid complete with a massive afro. As cute as they come. "They are perfect and bizarrely in-demand," said Elia. "Thanks a lot. I'll be ordering more the moment I run out."

Please note - we make traditional metal button badges using components that haven't changed for decades. We don't make badges with cheap plastic components.

Because button badges have pins to secure them to a jacket, jumper or whatever they are not suitable for small children.
