I am gutted to have lost my Hello badge that I have been wearing on my jacket with pride since 2013 (or it might have been 2012 at the Hello premiere....) In recent years I suppose I was a bit embarrassed to admit I like Quo out in public. But when the reunion came about, I looked in my box of badges hidden away at the back of a drawer and decided 'what the hell', I would to proclaim my love of Quo to the world. I noticed it was gone a couple of weeks ago but hoped it would turn up. I've looked on ebay but there isn't one there at the moment. Please let me know if any of you see one for sale.

Same thing happened to me last year when I lost my DOTH enamel badge. I have lost the name of the guy who made them, so now my jacket sleeve feels very empty :-(

Speaking of Quo badges....this thread has reminded me of my first Quo gig (Liverpool Royal Court 1986) I had about 40 Quo badges (yes I know, I know...) on my denim jacket. The gig was amazing, and remains the loudest I have seen by any band, including Motorhead and Metallica. I was almost completely deaf for four days afterwards. The crowd was very packed in, and a few people got hurt/fainted etc. Me and my mates got separated early on in the melee. It was bonkers, but brilliant. Anyway, back to the badges. Next day...you know....when you have the afterglow and buzz that comes from having had a great gig...and that marvelous ringing sensation in your ears....I picked up my denim jacket to put it away....and my heart sank as I realised I had lost about 15 cool badges amidst the chaos! I didn't have the heart to start recollecting badges after that, I think the same jacket is now down to about 8 of them Incidentally, I remember reading on the old SQMB that some fans wrote to Quo to complain about the venue, complaining that too many people had been admitted and saying it was unsafe for a gig. Can't say as I agree, but to this day, Quo never went back there

Go for them Viv, I won´t be fighting over them. It´s a really tasty DOTH badge indeed, but I found (and ordered) another one (only the dog, no frame) yesterday. Good luck!

I went to Britain/Europe for a 6 week holiday back in 1980 hoping to see Quo but,typical of my luck, Quo didn't tour that year but I did get the Hello badge as seen above. Still got it. Btw had a vey memorable time way over there.

Hope you find a good replacement Viv. That is upsetting to read.
I don't think I have any Quo badges but I bought the EOTR keyring during that tour. When my handbag got stolen from our family home, the police found my handbag in the local park with the keys in it but not the keyring! Were they Quo fans ? I was pretty pissed off at the time but I think its funny now.

I have looked in the box of badges and brought out a rather beautiful 'Quo' album cover badge. It is about the size of a 10p piece (same as the Hello one) and is red, black and silver with a brass/gold coloured frame. I'm almost scared to wear it as I don't want to lose another one, but hey, what's the point of it being in a drawer?!

Just to be clear, they are not my badges on E-bay - I saw the thread and had a quick peek to see what was about.
