The long-running BBC children's television programme
Blue Peter has
a series of iconic badges they give to exceptional people who contact or appear on the show.
Now, you can have your own badge inspired by the classic
Blue Peter badge. This shape has been made to exactly match the measurements of a 1980s-era
Blue Peter badge I own (shown 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 else entirely.
No pin is provided on the back of this model; you can get 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 accesory 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.
I've
