For decades, Blue Peter hosts have encouraged youngsters to build Tracy Island and fancy castles using toilet rolls and other household waste. The BBC has now stated that it would recreate the show's iconic badges using recycled yoghurt pots. The announcement is part of an attempt to make the BBC children's programming more environmentally friendly: the badges will be manufactured in a solar-powered facility using recycled materials, including yoghurt pots.
Silver Insignia
The Silver Badge is given to Blue Badge holders who are devoted Blue Peter supporters who go above and above. For instance, if you were awarded a Blue badge for an intriguing letter or email, you may earn a Silver medal by submitting something unique, like as an artwork, photograph, or poetry.
A badge commemorating the 35th birthday, debuted in October 1993.
A badge commemorating the 40th anniversary of the original badge's introduction in 1963, which was launched in October 2003. This rubber moulding was bigger than the typical insignia; it had a white shield with a raised appliqué of a 'bubble ship.'
Presenters' use
The presenters nearly always wear their badges throughout the program, with the exception of when their attire is unsuitable (for example, a life jacket), in which case a sticker with the ship's symbol is often substituted. Additionally, big pictures or stickers of the ship are mounted to the presenters' cars while they are on shooting duties.
