psfk buttons

5 Comments

For the upco­ming PSK con­fe­rence this Fri­day, besi­des the PSFK event pos­ter, I also desig­ned these wee pur­ple bad­ges– a bunch of quirky designs that peo­ple wear to desc­ribe to other atten­dees what their shtick is– delu­ded, inves­tor, guide, con­fu­sed, maker, mayor, data, tech, art , adver­ti­sing, pr, inves­tor, etc.

[N.B. Peo­ple get to pick their own but­tons, they’re not assig­ned etc.]

“Social Objects”. Exactly. Minia­ture “Cube Gre­na­des”. Exactly.

   So, will they be han­ded out based on job tit­les or at ran­dom, or do the atten­dees get to pick the one they want?

   Very cool idea!

   So at first glance I thought they were con­doms. Con­dom gre­na­des? Hmmm.

   These are too cool. I’m intri­gued by the idea of peo­ple choo­sing to label them­sel­ves with a but­ton, and the first impres­sions for­med of others who’ve lebe­lled them­sel­ves thusly… Defi­ni­tely a con­ver­sa­tion starter.

   Any word on how they were received?
