The blue symbols on this stamped, pinback badge button represent the phrase, “Use Your Voice.” They are created using the language of shorthand, which was used in the Mid-Twentieth Century workplace by secretaries. After using these symbols to take dictation from “the boss,” secretaries would then create typed business documents from their recorded shorthand notes.
Water Cooler Press strives to flip that tradition.
Instead of the secretary’s notes being hidden away in an office drawer, this design foregrounds the overlooked and undervalued voices of secretaries from a by-gone era. Stamped by hand, each one is 1.45 inches in size and serves as a reminder for everyone to “Use Their Voice.” Search for “watercoolerpress” on Instagram to follow the design process and to learn shorthand with the “Shorthand Shorts” video tutorial series.
