Ways to Make Lapel Pins Look Older Than They Really Are

Topic: Custom Lapel Pins

From time to time, a lapel pin design calls for an antique or weathered look.  That’s when we get to be really creative.  We accommodate our customers by fulfilling their requests and giving them products they can be proud of.  The Elizabeth Stampede can attest to this.  We create custom pins for them each year and they are always pleased with the results of our efforts. What is the Elizabeth Stampede?

The Elizabeth Stampede is an annual rodeo held in Elizabeth, Colorado that offers fun and entertainment for all ages.  This year’s event took place June 3rd, 4th, and 5th and was thoroughly enjoyed by all of the people that attended it.

Custom lapel pins are a tradition at the stampede.  Men, women, and children wanting a souvenir from the weekend event can take one home with them.  Durable and crafted with care, they last year after year.

Thinking Outside the Box When Customizing Lapel Pins

It often pays to think outside the box when it comes to designing lapel pins.  The Elizabeth Stampede is well versed on creating attractive, eye-catching pins.  They are long-time customers of ours so it wasn’t unusual for them to want to change things up a bit this year.

That’s exactly what rodeo organizers chose to do.  They requested that their lapel pins have a “more weathered or rustic look”.  We achieved the effect requested by the customer by adding black and lite beige to antique copper.  This goes to show that anything is possible when customizing lapel pins.

Scenarios Where “Weathered” Pins Are Fitting

Some examples where “weathered” pins fit in include:

  • Years of Service Award Lapel Pins
  • Sorority and Fraternity Lapel Pins
  • Historical Society and Museum Lapel Pins
  • Centennial Lapel Pins
  • Nursing Lapel Pins
  • Graduation Lapel Pins
