Just think of all those great ones you threw away when you thought they weren't cool any more (along with your Star Wars toys and your Scalextric).

Well now it's time to restart your collection, because the badge is officially back, and it's all thanks to designer Darren Firth and his friend Tim McKnight.

Firth and McKnight have a personal philosophy which dictates that "everyone digs badges" and it's with that conviction in mind that they set up the website Wear it with Pride.

Wear it With Pride showcases a vast and varied collection of pin badges designed by some of the best graphic artists from around the globe. But it doesn't stop there, mere mortals can submit their own designs to a monthly competition where visitors to the site vote for their personal favourites.
