Introduction
This article summarizes buttons produced for The Police. There are buttons in all shapes / sizes / materials, official merchandise and non-official rip-offs.
This page presents some general buttons first - with repeated logos or catchphrases.
Then there are buttons for every LP The Police made.
- buttons which refer to the actual album cover or album title
- buttons which refer to a single from that album
- various images from the release date of this LP until the next LP's release date (these images might contain photos which were taken a while before the actual LP release, but used primarily to promote it)
