Luke Tonge

Birmingham Design Festival Organiser and graphical guru Luke Tonge is a prime example of how you can use enamel pin badges to create fun keepsakes for your event. We helped him make the BD monogram, the "Imagine" pin for this year’s show, and some “Rad” slogan badges, to name just a few that he sells online. We’ve been working with Luke for a few years, and it’s always fun waiting to see what he’ll drop in our inbox next.

Collectibles

Designers often want us to create a collectible set of pins from their creations that share a common theme. We recently did just that for the Kirkwood Hospice Snowdogs event after we chose Artist Katie Quinn’s illustrations to appear on our sponsored dog. We took three local landmarks from her design and made fun, vibrant badges that helped raise much-needed funds while keeping Katie’s distinctive artistic style.

Design Challenges

It can be challenging to design pin badges as they are relatively small, and it may require some out-of-the-box thinking to transform your creations into pin-ready designs that meet our guidelines. We’ve got a set of instructions to walk you through the design process on our website and a team of expert in-house designers if you get really stuck.

As you can see, designers can use enamel pin badges in many ways, and these are just a few. Whether you choose to use pins to showcase your designs, find a creative outlet, or help a local charity, the important thing is to get creative, express your individuality, and contact us so we can bring your designs to life!
