I am offering a few highly authentic looking replicas of Ash's S-Mart Badge from Army of Darkness (1992), AKA "Evil Dead 3". As far as I know, this is the most accurate replica of Ash's badge you can get!

NOTES on ACCURACY:
  • FRONT MATERIAL: The badges are printed on satin paper with a thin resin coating. It kind of looks like a dull vinyl.

  • BACKING MATERIAL: The badges are glued to black, highly rigid Bristol board. This matches the backing color and thickness in the film:

  • PIN: The back of the badge is never seen, so I went with what might make sense in that time period, which is a badge pin hot-glued to the back.

  • FONT: The font is a near-perfect match. I matched the font using multiple techniques, and purchased "Turnier" from its producer and made some adjustments for accuracy.

  • COLOR: The muted cyan and red from the film are matched just right for accuracy in multiple lighting situations.

  • LABELS: I purchased a vintage labelmaker and tape to produce these labels.

  • LABEL HEIGHTS: Label height is strangely inconsistent across the three lines:

    I cut each label to match each line as closely as possible.

  • CONSISTENCY: Each badge will be slightly different, as all the labels were cut individually and the badges are made by hand!
