Cassette Buttons For ’80s Babies

Ah, cassette nostalgia. When will it end? This generation of ’80s babies seems to have a special place in their heart for the retro technology, which manifests itself in everything from iPod-playing fake boom boxes to these limited edition “Cassette Badges.” Created by the UK’s Effektive Design, this series consists of 8 different sets of buttons which are fashioned after 8 old tape brands. Each set includes 6 buttons, which are created from circular crops of the actual cassette artwork. They all come laid out on a cassette, which is placed inside a case that includes a history of the ancient technology. After the jump, see all the different sets.
