Anyone remember this show on The Children's Channel (prob around 1987).
It basically consisted of a host on the phone taking requests from viewers who wanted custom badges made. The host would take the request and then the camera would cut to an artist at his desk drawing the request on paper.
He would then put the drawing under a special press/cutting machine and out popped the ready made badge with the drawing.
I remember it particularly because the host would often get requests for "Ferrari" badges. Being a child of the 80s I was hoping he'd draw the modern Ferrari (eg like Magnum PI's car or the one from the Outrun series) but he always went with the 1960's style 250 model (which I thought was pretty naff by comparison). Turns out that was much the cooler car in retrospect!
