25th anniversary commemorative Case Badges

Okay... A while ago I knocked up a few 'speccy' related case badges for fun, the surplus I sold on Ebay to some very happy customers and Times were good.

Out of the blue recently I have received a huge number of emails about these badges... ( okay - two ) and it's got me thinking again.

What about a set of badges to commemorate the glorious 25th anniversary?

I've got a number of designs already in mind, plus a few ' World of Spectrum ' related ones ( marjin permitting :D ) and permissions pending.

Question is - Would the speccy community like some nice domed case badges to decorate up their PC's or whatever?

I was also thinking about the cost of these, like before I would be selling them as cost, or possibly rounding up to the nearest 50p with all the profit going to the preservation team?

I was also playing with the idea of doing some +3e and divIDE badges for your 'REAL spectrum'

Some examples of other badges I've done for others and myself in the past can be seen here

lemmie know what ya think.

    I had a set of 4 of these at the time, and placed them around my monitor. They are still there looking good!

    I'd like the full set though :)

    I'd love a couple of these badges to go on the front of my Y-Box and maybe even a couple to go my real speccy.

    My favourites on that picture are Miner Willy, the ZX colour stripe diagonal, and the "my other computer is a Spectrum" ones. If that helps you decide in any way! :roll:

    I promoted them therefore I demand that you owe me either a good hard shag or some rolos.

    One of each of those two would be great, thanks.

    Apologies for being dumb, though, but I totally missed the original sale so I don't know how much they are or how to arrange to get them.

    I love the two Union jack Sinclair ones, and especially the `My other computer is a Sinclair ZX Spectrum`, that ones topper :) What is a case badge though, i.e. how do they attach, and could you wear these on clothes?

    case badges are those, usually domed in plastic, stickers that sit on your pc, usually saying something like 'Intel Inside' or 'AMD Fluffalump processor. They measure about 1 inch square.
