There are many influencers on social media who have entire online accounts and pages dedicated to teaching people on how to transform the look of an outfit, work desk, bedroom and kitchen of their house. They suggest all sorts of ideas including DIY techniques and using recycled items. They also suggest some cheap items that we can purchase from an online store. While watching one such tutorial video, I came across an idea of using custom badge printed with cute designs. We have all been familiar with badges ever since we were school going kids. They used to be a part of our school uniforms during celebrations and school events. We may have parted ways with them but you can always bring them back. That too in a new look!
Back in those days, it was kind of expensive to spend our small pocket money on metal badges. Our parents used to give us few coins per day to buy some candies and other eatables. It used to be a compromise on our part to buy them while sacrificing on those candies. Once in a while, it was fair to give up those sweets and candies because the temptation of printed badges was far too bigger. Not just teenagers, but adults were also fond of them. It used to attract them with their shiny and colorful prints. College students used to put them on their bags all the time after watching American TV shows. There are so many reasons for wearing them:
Social Message
Whenever there is a need to amplify a social message or cause, we take help of art combined with other methods like verbal speeches. Art like posters, graffiti, body painting and printed badges are some of the visual forms of capturing the attention of viewers. A plain badge can be personalized with a thought provoking slogan or message.
Celebration
When celebrating a friend’s birthday or an engagement, close friends can wear some custom made printed badges to cheer their friend up. It will add more fun to the overall celebration and think about all the good pictures you will be able to click with those matching badges. There will be no need for props
Festivals
During the time of festivals, everyone turns into a festive mood and try to make the most out of the day. Whether it is kids or grownups, everyone wishes to let their hair down and enjoy themselves to the fullest. What better than some printed badges to add to the goofiness?
Volunteering
During volunteering events, many people including the volunteers can be seen with metal badges attached to their clothes. It is a way of identifying themselves as supporters of the event and standing out from the rest.
Freebies
Some small businesses can be seen sending small gift items to their customers every now and then. Such items can include key chains, stickers and printed badges.Sometimes, instead of looking for reasons, we should simply go with the flow and do what makes us happy. Don’t think too much and buy some today!
