No SteelCon 2018 Floppy Disk 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.
The United Kingdom record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The record is a conference identity-object badge, not an electronic PCB badge.
The compendium includes it because the official event history calls the disks badges; hardware/software fields remain conservative so readers do not infer electronics.
The official timeline documents the object and rationale but does not expose individual artifact photos, designer names, or attendee stories in text.
The first-pass record should be upgraded only when licensed original photos or more detailed archives are recovered.
