Blue Peter style badge

thingiverse

The long-running BBC children's television program Blue Peter has a series of badges that they award to exceptional people who contact or appear on the show. Now, you can create your own badge inspired by the classic Blue Peter badge. This shape has been made to match exactly the measurements of an 1980s-era Blue Peter badge I own (seen in the attached photos). The sailing-ship motif on the flat front of the real badge is not present on this model; you are free to add your own design inspired by the show's logo, or something entirely different. No pin is provided on the back of this model; you can obtain one to glue on from a craft shop, or reuse a pinback from another small badge. PLEASE NOTE: This is not intended as a fake or counterfeit Blue Peter badge for fraudulently obtaining the benefits of a genuine badge! It won't work as one, anyway; children who earn a genuine Blue Peter badge get a photo ID they need to also show to gain the badgeholders' benefits, and the current-day badges have a slightly-different shape and sculpted details not present on this model. This model is only intended as a little old-school pop-culture-inspired accessory for modern-day nostalgics, costumers and cosplayers (classic Doctor Who companion Ace wore two of these on her jacket!), and anyone else who can have some harmless fun with the idea. In addition to sharing this file freely here, I've made pro-grade prints available in a variety of plastic and metal materials [here on my Shapeways shop](https://www.shapeways.com/product/BEJ24A4SV/blue-peter-style-badge). If you wish to go the route of buying a print, buying it from there would be very cool of you. The above photos of prints are done in Shapeways' White Polished and Blue Polished nylon.
