The Legacy Songs Badge, conceived and produced by Droga5 for Telstra, aims to connect younger Australians with the charity and help raise funds for the families of fallen servicemen and women during Legacy Week.

The Legacy Songs Badge is also an MP3 player and features songs dedicated to the memory of Australians who have lost their lives in service.

Collaborating with eight different record labels and publishing groups, as well as the artists themselves, and with the support of Telstra and Legacy, Droga5 put thousands of Song Badges for sale on the street for Legacy Week in less than two months.

The Legacy Songs Badge features songs from Jimmy Barnes, The Herd, Art vs Science, Boy & Bear and Powderfinger. It sells for $15 and every cent goes to Legacy. There’s also a virtual badge that can be downloaded for $10 with tracks supplied via Telstra’s BigPond Music.

Says Duncan Marshall, executive creative director of Droga5: “That we were able to get such a complicated project off the ground in such a short period of time is testament to the enthusiasm of all the people and partners involved. But more importantly, having the support and commitment of Legacy to allow us to take such a trusted symbol and be able to move it forward is very gratifying.”
