Glow-in-the-dark star badge and lanyard
Purplecon's official diary says attendees received a lanyard with the official purplecon badge, a glow-in-the-dark star.
Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
The recovered official sources describe the badge as a glow-in-the-dark star, but do not document materials, maker, print method, dimensions, or production run.
The catalogue keeps the record to lanyard and star-badge evidence until direct artifact documentation appears.
The official Purplecon diary proves a lanyard badge, but not an electronic attendee badge.
The entry is modeled as a glow-in-the-dark identity artifact and avoids unsupported PCB, firmware, display, radio, NFC, or CTF claims.
No Purplecon 2018 badge image is published because the recovered diary images have not been paired with explicit reuse rights, attribution, and processing notes.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event photos or publishing generated badge art.
