Subatomic Custom Badges

The last week or so has been jammers in the HQ. I’ve made lots of cheerleading badges for different groups, you can take a peek over on the Facebook page LINK.

The Dublin Web Summit LINK kicks off today and tomorrow but last week I was contacted by Flight 1337, an Engagement Agency in Amsterdam regarding custom badges. They were one of the companies lucky enough to be selected for the Dublin Web Summit Start-Up Competition this year. They’ll also be debuting the rebranded Flight 1337 as Subatomic Inc., which is aiming to be a full engagement agency including consultancy and design.

They also gave me these epic caramel waffles from Amsterdam. Nom nom nom.

New Badge Equipment

So recently at the Spike Badges HQ, I’ve invested in several pieces of technology.

The first little lovely is a Wacom Intuos 5 Touch Tablet. It’s now my fave piece of tech and  it speeds up the design process a lot more than with my MacBook Pro’s little trackpad. I’m normally an Illustrator aficionado but I’ve grown to respect Photoshop for it’s versatility because of the graphics tablet.

Next up was a laser printer. From now on all of our badges will be printed on a 160gsm card-stock, really it’s just really thick paper. This helps to give the pin badges a sharper finish.

And finally, a decent paper trimmer. The ability to accurately cut straight lines can never be overestimated. I had been using a craft knife and a ruler for a while but I sometimes ended up cutting into the pin badge print-outs.

So that’s all of the current new tech at the Spike Badges HQ.
