Funny how ideas come about. These badges were created the wrong way round in effect. I was required to design some new look membership cards and tickets for the upcoming third season of the increasingly successful Bronte Blues Club of Laycock, near Keighley, West Yorkshire. You know it well. I’ve mentioned it often enough in the past.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to create a button badge effect using Photoshop. There are quite a number of tutorials around and I used this one from PSD Tuts. It seemed to work quite well.

It was only after the first lot of tickets had been produced, it hit me how good it would be to have the badges themselves. Thankfully, others at the BBC agreed and thanks to the excellent rapid work of Wee Badgers, here they are.
