New Badge – Review

I was going to review this badge in the New Year, but as I’ve already made my mind up about this badge, I thought I’d post my review of it on my blog now.

When I first received my badge, my first impressions were I did not think this badge was worth £3 ………… and I bought two of these! But I wasn’t going to return them as I needed a badge that was hopefully going to be more noticeable on my uniform at work.

I took one of these badges to work to put on my uniform to find the catch was awkward. Again I know I should have sent it back, but I didn’t. A week later the fastener on this badge dropped to bits. So I brought my other badge in, in which the fastener was fine on this one, and currently as this post goes on air I’m still wearing it. But as you will see in the photo on the left, the ‘t’ at the start of talking has blurred. For this to happen a spot of water must have gone on it, but if this was an enamel or metal badge like past badges I’ve worn, this would not have happened, and they were much cheaper too! This photo of my badge how its now gone was taken after just one week wearing it.

So my round up conclusion of this badge is its not worth the money because of the materials used. This badge is plastic with the wording etc.. stuck on with a sheen to it. The badge will wear in time at the corners, which there’s a start of it on mine but nothing too bad just yet. But for the positive side, the badge was noticeable.

But when it comes to me needing a new one, I shall hopefully find a badge like this somewhere but using better materials like metal or enamel. So if any UK based badge making businesses are reading this, and can make me a badge like this one but in metal or enamel then please let me know, as I’ll be very interested.
