The Beautiful Badge
The stories behind the football club badge
We combined our passion for football, history and of course, design, to create the award-winning The Beautiful Badge (Telegraph Sports Book Awards).
We researched, wrote, and designed the 212 page hardback book (originally the concept of our Creative Director) that went on to gain plaudits from the sports media, the design press and football fans alike.
