"Identity" badges for sale

80p each up to a dozen badges, or cheaper as you order more. Postage included.

NEW! Minimum order now only 2 badges in UK (£1.60) and 3 elsewhere (£2.40), including postage. Why? Full story below.

(That's about $1.60 USD or €1.20 euros per badge @ August 2007 exchange rates - £2.40 is about $4.85 or €3.55.)

Over two thousand badges of this series already sold to people in person, at BiCon, BiFest, Pride festivals and suchlike - they are quite shiny items. Quite a few seem to get bought for friends - although you have to know people well enough to know which badge "is them"...

(This rather old photo includes some designs and colours no longer available. See current listings for the up-to-date ones. But it does give some idea of the kind of badges and what kind of pin they have.)

All coloured writing or logo on a black background.

Nine colours to choose from.

Why have I gone over to such a small minimum order, despite postage and PayPal costs which mean I make very little money like that? Well, one reason is that this is only partly a commercial enterprise and partly an activist one. But it's also because these badges are tiny works of art, and you might not realise what good quality they are if you haven't actually seen one. So although some people might really only ever want the first lot, I'm betting that some of the people who buy only a couple initially will like them enough to come back for more later - maybe as presents for friends, or to sell at a Pride stall.

It's still possible that I'll go back to a higher minimum order in future - so make the most of it

Tip: If you really only wanted one badge, you might want to get the same design in two or three different colours - e.g. your favourite colour, plus metallic silver to "go with nearly anything".
