Enamel BHA pin badges - would anyone be interested in buying them?

[Buzzer]

A few months back I was bemoaning the lack of decent lapel Brighton badges and there were a fair few people who also said they felt the same. I'm going to bite the bullet and get two designs made up in a batch of 100 each. The cost will be about £1.80 or so each and I'd be looking to sell them for £3.50 each or £6 for the pair. I'm not looking to make any money from this and will give all profits to Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice in Arundel.

What I need though is a couple of things:

• Is there a demand for them? Would people be interested in buying them once I got them made up and at that price?
• I really need some help with a few designs -what sort of size and shape and back to the badge would people be looking for?

If there's any artistic type on NSC who could mock up a design or two I'd be extremely grateful and would of course make sure they received a handful of free badges for their efforts. I hope Half Man Half Biscuit doesn't mind but the kind of badge design I'd be looking for is an updated version of some of these beauties: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannylast/sets/72157634040721183/

Any advice would be great...

Yes please.

Count me in. The two town crest would be good - but you would not want any artistic assistance from me.

Yep I would buy, unless they look really rubbish

me too.

Definitely

Get one with a dolphin on it. They are hard to come by and proper retro.

Sounds good!

I like the classic Seagull circular one.

Absolutely, with the exception of the Doncaster and Spurs "special edition" lapel badges, the quality has been utter tosh. One of my biggest "niggles" is the low quality of merchandise in the club shop at the moment.

I would personally love a good quality round one with the new logo or a two town crest as DKM suggested above.

An improved / updated version of this would be great.

I would say the retro style ones would be best - the standard crest ones are fairly easy to come by either in the shop or online.

I like ones like the older style ones in the Half Man Half Biscuit pics - the deck of cards, or the big blue fist.

I'd be interested in buying a couple.

That Wembley 83 badge really is a stunner. Would be great if you could incorporate 'Stand or Fall' into your design somehow.

How about one of Inigo Calderon's face in black and white with 'Gentleman footballer' underneath?

 

[Bold Seagull]

I like the classic Seagull circular one.

Yes, me too. The blue inner circle, white outer, along with the reverse badge of that would look great together as a pair.

Yep - that would work for me.

Cult Zeroes could make a mint out of producing badges in this style.

I'd like to have a play at making some designs. Will PM you

Count me in for definite ...... would it be to much to combine the NSC logo into the badge or one of the pair? just a thought.....
