History of the Northwest Antique Airplane Club (NWAAC) Lapel Pins

For the past several years we have been honored to create lapel pins for the Northwest Antique Airplane Club (NWAAC). The club which was originally founded in 1959 but because of the National Antique Airplane Association’s lack of legal protection as well as a requirement for approval for club airshows, it withdrew from the National organization in 1962 and formed the Northwest Antique Airplane Club. The original membership began at about forty, and has grown to over three hundred. The NWAAC has since extended Honorary Life Memberships; to OX-5 members, Les Tomlinson recipients, and Past Presidents.

Creating Custom Pins for the NWAAC

The pin that we created has the club’s initials of NWAAC along with text that reads, “51st Year”. It is vibrant red in color, circular in design and features a bold image of a propeller. Anyone looking at the lapel pin will know that it is airplane related. The classic appearance and personal message is what makes it so visually appealing. That’s the beauty behind custom pins. They can be made in any way that our customers see fit. That means they can be soft enamel, cloisonne, die struck or offset printed. They can be small, medium or large sized. They can be standard shaped or custom shaped depending on your preference. This ensures that your club is properly represented through the use of the lapel pins.

Portability is Part of a Custom Pin’s Appeal

Part of the appeal of lapel pins is their portability. They are easy to carry from one location to the next and members of a club have no problem wearing their own pins to different events and meetings. This allows the public to see them and ask questions about the club. This is one way to recruit new members. It is also a great way to fundraise. If you want others to support your airplane club, you’ll take the time to get the word out about it each and every opportunity that you have.

A Logo or Image Helps With Branding

Lapel pins often feature a logo or image of some sort. Choose one that reflects your club, its members, and its values. This will allow you to convey a message to the public in a real and measurable way. In fact, this can help recruit you some fans as most people in the community may not know about your airplane club and love for flying. If you want an items that starts conversations, you may want to order custom lapel pins.
