BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge
TwinkleTwinkie PCB-art badge
TwinkleTwinkie's DEF CON 27 Hardware Hacking Village bio lists the BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge among notable artistic PCB badges and indie badge add-ons produced by the independent PCB artist. The current official B|Sides Vancouver site keeps the Vancouver Security BSides lineage visible, while this pass keeps the badge record limited to the artifact name, maker trail, and PCB-art classification.

BSides Vancouver
Official B|Sides Vancouver site used to anchor the Security BSides Vancouver series and location context for the source-backed 2019 badge record.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It adds a British Columbia Security BSides lineage to the Canadian pass while preserving a source-backed PCB-art badge without inventing electronics, firmware, board dimensions, variants, or image provenance.
Hardware
Public sources support the classification as an artistic PCB badge produced by TwinkleTwinkie. This pass did not recover a primary schematic, BOM, fabrication archive, production count, confirmed electronics, controller, LEDs, battery, or final board specification, so the record does not claim an active electronic badge.
Software & Apps
No firmware, app, challenge source, protocol documentation, or repository for the BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge was recovered in this pass.
Lore
The DEF CON 27 HHV schedule places TwinkleTwinkie's `Understanding & Making Pcb Art` talk in the Hardware Hacking Village. The speaker bio frames PCB art as a DEF CON badgelife collectible practice and names BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge as one of TwinkleTwinkie's produced works.

image-rights boundary
note
No local BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge image is published because this pass did not pair a specific original badge photo or official raster with reusable image rights, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.
The entry remains image-free rather than copying event media, maker photos, social images, screenshots, or generated placeholder art.

No BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

source-depth caveat
note
The recovered public trail names the BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge and maker, but this pass did not recover an official 2019 badge page, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, repository, production count, distribution wording, component list, or board-specification archive.
The record preserves the Canadian PCB-art badge lineage while avoiding unsupported electronics, variant, firmware, dimension, or manufacturing claims.
