The Logos of London 2012

For the sake of clarity, we have posted some images of the logos that we refer to. We realise that there are ownership and replication guidelines with the logos, but we are not trying to earn money from them or imply any association, it's just for ease of understanding. They're viewable all over the internet, so we hope we do not upset anyone by showing them here.

Fakes & Unofficial Pins

It is inevitable that along with all the genuine merchandise created for the Olympic Games, there will be an amount of fake or unofficial material offered for sale or trade. For the purposes of this article, we're classifying 'fakes' as those items which copy a legitimate pin but have not been produced by the genuine manufacturer and are being distributed from a source not recognised by LOCOG. 'Unofficial' pins are those which do not resemble the real pins, but aim to 'cash-in' on the Olympics by pretending to be associated in some way through the use, illegally, of logo, brand images  or wording. These pins are not manufactured under IOC or LOCOG licence and are therefore not considered to be a London 2012 pin badge.

So the question for a pin collector is "How do I recognise a fake?"

I've tended to find that the fake pins are those with poorer quality printing, wrong shades of colour and offered without the backing card. So far, we've seen copies of both LOCOG and sponsor pins. In each case, these pins have been offered via eBay by sellers from China. That is not to say that all items on eBay from abroad are fake and that all items on eBay from the UK are genuine. Evidence to date seems to show that if a fake is being offered, it's more likely to come from a seller from China.

Some of the fakes that we have seen are of very good quality. They have the correct information boxes on the back of the pin and there is a repeating pattern on the back. The quality and shape of this pattern varies from pin to pin. The real pins have a consistency to them which is not evident in the fake pins. The printing on the front is accurate in terms of the design, however the quality, sharpness and clarity of the design is inferior to the real thing in most cases. The images below show an example of a fake sponsor pin.

Example of real and fake Visa pin (Front)

The real pin is on the left and the fake on the right.

The edges of the text on the real pin are much sharper than those on the fake and the writing on the fake slopes down on the right hand side. There are also imperfections in the writing on the fake with what appear to be 'scratches' in the printing.

Also, you can feel the edges of the text on the real pin, whereas the fake has no contour and is completely flat.

The pink colouring is fairly accurate on the fake and is not as washed out as appears in the photograph.

The real pin was purchased on card from the UK, the fake as part of a set from abroad.

 

Example of real and fake Visa pin (Back)

This photgraph shows the backs of the two pins above. Once again the real is on the left and the fake on the right. You can see that the pattern has been copied, albeit reversed.

Again, the sharpness of the pattern edges is seen in the real pin but not in the fake.

There is at least one fake pin (not shown) where the back pattern actually fades away in a corner to almost smooth metal.

None of the fake pins I have seen to date have been offered on backing card. Remember that all genuine LOCOG pins should be on the backing card and all will have the official Olympic merchandise hologram. Some sponsor pins are also available on card and where possible I have identified this in the inventory.

The unofficial pins that I have seen have either copied the Games logo or have combined 'London', '2012' and the Olympic rings. There is one set of pins that I have seen which are commonly referred to as the 'mini-pins' that may have an interesting story. These pins first appeared on eBay in early 2009. They come as a set of 6 and are copies of the coloured logo pins, the Union flag pin and the Paralympic logo pin. However they are smaller and the 4 cut-through holes in the middle of the pin are 'filled'. They also have the pin numbers 2012-19 through to 2012-24. We know now that these numbers belong to the London at Night set, however if they are a fake set, someone took the trouble to come up with a plausible sequence before they were made.  It is highly likely that these pins were a planned official product that was taken to the prototype stage and then rejected and some samples made it into the market. This is supposition and not based on any evidence, but the quality of these pins is very good.

The inventory on this website will attempt to list every official pin to help you decide what's real or fake. I talk to the manufacturer, sponsors and official retailers to try and get the latest and most accurate information. If you come across a pin which is not listed, please contact me so that the information you have can be shared amongst other collectors and we keep the inventory as comprehensive as possible.


Pink vs. Purple

There are two pins available which have slight variations in colour. These are pin 1 - the pink logo and pin 7 - 4 Years to Go. Each pin is described as pink when in fact there is also a purple version of the pin. This variation came about as part of the manufacturing process. The manufacturer originally made the pin and produced the colour as shown on the right in the picture below. This pin was distributed and shortly after this, it was decided (I imagine by LOCOG) that the colour was not correct and that a new pin should be issued with the colour adjusted. This is the pin on the left. 

Example of colour variation

The pink logo pin is not from a limited edition however the 4 Years To Go pin is. The question therefore is - Does the limit number apply to each pin and how many pins are there - i.e. are there 5,000 of each or 5,00 between them?. The answer is - we don't know. The purple variety was definitely withdrawn from sale when the colour was changed, however there's no record of how many were sold. The pin was only available from 2 outlets, so I think numbers will be small. The second version of the pin was produced in a batch of 5,000 and these are the ones available at the moment - if you can find one. Both pins come on the version 1 blue backing card and from personal experience, the first (purple) version has a limited edition sequence number printed on the card whereas the second (pink) version does not.


Pin Backs, Backstamps & Backing Cards

It may be the pin that we're collecting and the front of the pin that attracts us, but it's the back of the pin and the card it comes on that provide information and help us decide how authentic it is. A London 2012 pin has a range of tell-tale signs that help identify it as genuine.

The Pin Back

The pins issued by LOCOG have 2 key features which identify them as official pins. These are the distinctive pattern on the back and the backstamp or information panel.

Image of pin back showing repeating pattern and information box

The repeating  pattern is called 'The Beiwen Pattern' (pronounced 'Bay-won') and appears as an asymmetric triangular shape which seems to have at least two varieties. There is no significance to the direction of the pattern and both are genuine.

Close up detail of Pattern 1 Close up detail of Pattern 2
Pattern 1
Short left side and long right side
Pattern 2
Long left side and short right side

The pattern on the back of each pin is engraved so you can feel the ridges. All of the commemorative pins issued to date (June 2009) and some of the partner pins have this pattern.

The backstamp is also engraved and takes the form of a rectangular border with rounded corners with either 2 or 4 lines of information. 

Close up detail of information box

Pins 1 - 5 have two lines of information

  • A number in the form '2012-n' where n is the pin number
  • (R)(C) LOCOG 2008, where the Registered and Copyright symbols indicate that the image on the pin is owned by LOCOG.
The pins from 7 onwards and the more recent partner pins have 4 lines of information
  •  The '2012-n' number
  • '<= nnnnn', where nnnnn is the edition size, so <=10000 indicates this pin is from a limited edition size of 10,000
  • TM (C) LOCOG 2008, indicating that the logo on the pin is a trademark and copyright of LOCOG
  • 'Honav' indicating the manufacturer.

Note that pin 11 actually has the third line as (R)(C) LOCOG 2008, not TM

This information is correct at June 2009 but may become out of date as more pins are released.

Some potentially unofficial (fake) pins may have these markings in some form or another, so their presence does not, in itself, prove the pin is genuine. Look at the quality of the engraving, does the pattern look correct, is all the information there?

In August 2010, a new form of pin back appeared. Rather than being engraved, the pin back has been printed. The Beiwen pattern and the information box are still there, but the whole back is printed with black ink rather than being engraved. This back has been used on printed rather than enamelled pins.

Example of printed back

The Backing Card

The retail pins are sold on a backing card. Not only does this allow the pin to be displayed at the point of sale, but also carries some standard elements:

On the front (of the original cards)

  • Olympic and Paralympic logos
  • a message about the retail pins explaining that the Games will be issuing 2,012 pins covering everything "from culture to sport, from the environment to education",

On the back (of the original cards)

  • a barcode for stock control / pricing,
  • manufacturer address details,
  • 'manufactured under licence' wording,
  • 'beware of the sharp point' warning.
  • recycling information
  • a holographic sticker with a number printed on it. This identifies that the pin is a genuine piece of London 2012 merchandise. Every souvenir that comes out of the Games shoud have this sticker, be it pins, stamps, coins etc. Even the passes for the Visa Party last August had stickers on them,
  • on the first pins issued, the card contained a printed number. This indicated the specific pin number within the limited edition, presumably it is easier and therefore cheaper to print the number on the packaging rather than engrave it on the pin. These numbers only appear on early 2012 pins and are printed on the card irrespective of whether the pin is from a limited edition or not. It was thought that this printed number would enhance 'collectibility'. Presumably production costs prevented this number being printed on later backing cards.

There have been many version of the backing cards and the version numbers are referred to in the 'Commemorative' listings in the catalogue.

Version 1 - First Used: August 2008

50mm x 89mm
Double layer of card folded with slot/flap connection

Definitions

As with most hobbies, pin collecting and trading has its own language. Here are some of the terms you may come across in addition to the definitions of pin types.

Pin Collecting / Trading
Pinhead A pin collector - the name may originate from the fact that pin collectors started wearing their pins on their hats in the 1980s
Dealer Someone who sells pins for money rather than trades them
Trader A pin for the purposes of trading rather than keeping or collecting
Meet An informal pre-planned gathering of pin traders
Show A formal gathering of pin traders and dealers
Trade / Swap / Exchange The action of exchanging pins between two pin traders
Manufacture
Prototype An early pin design made in very small quantities to test designs and manufacturing. May be of inferior quality as they are not designed for issue
Production Pin A mass-produced pin for issue
Strike To manufacture a pin
Rerun / Reissue The authoised reproduction of an existing pin, usually for commemorative purposes
Production Level The number of pins issued in any one design
Finding The post or pin on the back of the pin badge and the type of clasp that attaches to the pin

Pin Manufacture

There are several methods of pin production each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Cloisonné Semi-Cloisonné Soft Enamel Photo Etched
Base Metal

Copper

Copper or Brass

Copper or Brass

Stamping

Die-struck

Photo-etched

Colour Material

Coloured powdered glass

Coloured resin

Enamel paint

Surface

Hard, flat, smooth

Hard, flat, smooth

Raised edges unless covered by epoxy resin identified as a dome across the pin

Raised edges (less evident than soft enamel pin)

Manufacture

Individual colours are hand applied one or two at a time and baked until hard at 800F

As for cloisonné pins apart from colour being epoxy resin rather than glass

Paint is applied by hand, but in one go rather than one colour at a time

Several images of the same design are coloured and baked. Covered with a clear epoxy coating for protection

Advantages

Durable and scratch resistant

Valued by collectors

Perceived value similar to cloisonné

More colours available than cloisonné

Shorter production time than cloisonné

Greater scratch resistance than cloisonné

Less expensive than cloisonné

More colours available than cloisonné

Shorter production time than cloisonné

Greater pin design detail than cloisonné

Maximum pin design detail

Shortest production time

Cheapest to produce

Disadvantages

Expensive to produce

Least amount of pin design detail

Fewest colours available

Longest production time

Glass can be chipped if hit hard enough

Less scratch resistant than cloisonné

Can be confused with cloisonné

Perceived value less than cloisonné

Chips can occur unless covered with resin

White colour can 'yellow' over time

Thinner than other pins

Lower perceived value than other pins

Less durable than other pins

The manufacturer has a number of methods to produce a pin, but they break down into 3 main areas...

Stamping

An actual size drawing of the pin is used to cut 3 steel templates or dies. One for the shape, one for the design and one for the backstamp. Following this, squares of the base metal are cut and the dies used to stamp the front and back designs and then cut the shape (removing excess metal) around the design. This results in a metal pin with raised metal edges on the pin surface. These edges then enclose and retain the colour to be applied in the next stage.

Colouring

The design is coloured using either enamel paint, powdered glass or coloured resin. Depending on the design and the material to be used a single colour or multiple colours are applied and then baked until dry. In soft-enamel or photo-etched pins, all of the colours are applied in one go and baked at apporximately 100F until dry. In the cloisonné process where powdered glass is used, individual colours are applied and baked at 800F. In the semi-cloisonné process coloured resins are applied one or two at a time and baked until hard.

Finishing

Each pin is polished to remove excess glass or paint and for soft-enamel or photo-etched pins, a clear epoxy coating is applied to protect the colours from scratching. Then the finding post (or pin) is attached with glue or solder. Finally, the pin may be plated to give the metal areas a consistent bright nickel (silver looking), bronze or gold finish.

Pin Collecting and Trading - A Brief History

Here's a very brief timeline of Olympic pin history together with key events in pin collecting and trading

YearLocation
1896 Athens Originally small cardboard discs were used as colourful badges to identify the athletes (blue), judges (pink) and officials (red)
1904 Paris The badges were now metal rather than cardboard and some were very ornate like jewellery
1908 London The metal badges were used for other groups such as IOC members and the press
1912 Stockholm The first commercially produced pins were available for spectators. Pins were also advertised in the Games programme as a form of fund raising. Up to this point, pin trading had not taken off.
1924 Paris The first Olympic village allowed athletes and officials to mix more easlily and therefore led to the swapping or trading of pins as a form of friendship and goodwill between nations
1928 St Moritz Spectators wearing pins as well as athletes and officials
1932 Los Angeles The Great Depression meant that only 2 souvenir pins were available to the public although there were athletes and officials pins
1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Berlin
Between 1933 and 1936, over 1 million souvenir pins were sold to underwrite the cost of the Games. This was the first time that pins had been available before the Games and were advertised in newspapers and sold through the mail.
1940 Sapporo & Tokyo The Games were cancelled due to the war, but some pins were produced and are some of the rarest pins available
1948 London The organising committe urged participating nations to limit the number of pins they produced in order to maintain their status
1952 Helsinki The highest number of participant's badges issued - 218 variations
1956 Cortina d'Ampezzo The first 2-part badge with the Olympic rings secured to a background
1960 Squaw Valley The first sponsor pin was available. It was produced by Sylvania Electric and showed a microphone and the Olympic rings.
1964 Innsbruck
Tokyo
Media pins became more available as the number of international television companies providing coverage increased
1968 Mexico City The modern form of pin clasp with the butterfly back became the norm
1972 Munich Hundreds of thousands of pin variations were produced and pin trading came out of the Olympic Village and spread to spectators
1980 Lake Placid The large number of pins available and the small size of the village meant that there were lots of pins to trade and lots of people to trade with. The perfect combination for pin trading to take off.
1984 Sarajevo The first time a framed commemorative set of pins was produced. It was a 16 pin set of the mascot - Vuchko the wolf
1984 Los Angeles With perhaps 17,000,000 pins in over 1,300 designs, pin trading was a major event at the LA Games. Large pin gatherings took place and the media reported on pin trading. Large numbers of counterfeit pins emerged with some trying to cash-in on the pin craze
1988 Calgary Some visitors arrived just for the pin trading rather than the Games. The third consecutive Games held in North America meant there were large numbers of traders. Coca-Cola set up the first official pin trading centre

Since 1988 pin trading has been described as "The Number 1 Spectator Sport at the Olympic Games". It's easy to see why, with thousdands of designs, millions of individual pins and millions of collectors across the world aiming to create their perfect collection.

With the launch of the internet and online auctions, it's now even easier to locate and purchase that hard to find pin and to keep in touch with other pin collectors and groups across the world.

National Olympic Committee / National Paralympic Committee Pins

The National Olympic Committe (NOC) and National Paralympic Committee (NPC) are the bodies within a country which organise and represent the Olympic and Paralympic athletes of that nation. They help to select the team and promote the Olympic and Paralympic Movement in the country. The committees issue pin badges and these NOC and NPC pins are highly collectable by some Olympic pin enthusiasts. This section describes some of the types of pins available and shows examples from Great Britain's NOC and NPC.

Generic Pins - these are issued from time to time and display the committees logo but no dates. They are not produced for a specific Olympics or Paralympic Games, but for general promotion. They tend to be distributed to athletes and committee members.

Games Pins - these are issued for specific Games and are dated and usually contain the name of the host city. They are generally distributed to athletes and officials attending the Games and are a favourite target for pin traders

Sponsor Pins - these are issued by companies which sponsor the national teams. These sponsors are completely separate from Games sponsors, although some companies do sponsor the Games as well as some teams. These pins usually combine the sponsors logo with that of the national committee.

We thought we'd discuss the committees and teams in this country and show examples of our NOC/NPC pins. The NOC for Great Britian and Northern Ireland is the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the NPC is the British Paralympic Association (BPA). Team GB is the name of the team of athletes selected to represent GB at a specific Olympic Games and ParalympicsGB is the brand name of the BPA.

NOC Pins for London 2012

Due to the vast number of countries in the Olympic and Paralympic movement, this website does not seek to catalogue or display a full range of these pins.

Whilst we're not intending to list all NOC/NPC pins issued for London 2012, we're happy to list any pins that readers tell us about. We will maintain a list, which will contain pins that we come across or are told about and that are linked to London 2012 (i.e. not generic pins). This list does not seek to be a definitive catalogue.


Types of Pins

Here we try to give a definition of the various types and groups of Olympic pins you may come across. Pins may fall into various groups, so we have tried to define them in the sections Classification, Category and Theme.

Hopefully you will be able to identify a pin as having a classification, belonging to a category and having a theme, for example, an official/sponsor/countdown pin.

This website aims to list all Official and Authorised London 2012 pins and will identify any unofficial or unauthorised if possible.

Classification
Official A pin using the official words, logo and symbols of the Olympic Games and issued by an organisation who has paid a licencing fee to the organising committee
Unofficial A pin which does not use any official words or branding as they are issued by an organisation who has not paid a licencing fee
Authorised A pin that is issued by an organisation connected to or recognised by the organising committee
Unauthorised A pin that is issued by an organisation not recognised by the organising committee. These pins are not copies of genuine pins, but are designs that try to look as if they are real
Counterfeit / Fake A pin that is a copy of an official or authorised pin but is produced by an unathorised organisation for the purpose of selling as a genuine pin
Category
Commemorative / Souvenir Pins issued, usually by the organisaing committe, to commemorate the Games and usually for sale to the general public
Media Pins issued by the international media organisations covering the Games
National Olympic Committee (NOC)
National Paralympic Committee (NPC)
Pins issued by the National Olympic or Paralympic Committee of each participating country for their athletes, support staff and officials. These pins may be dated or marked specific to a single Games or they may be generic pins (see below).
International Olympic Committee (IOC) Pins issued by the IOC for their sessions when they convene. Not specifically produced for a particular Games.
Sports Federation / National Governing Body (NGB) Pins issued by the organising or governing bodies or federations of a particular sport or their sponsors
Police / Law Enforcement Pins issued by the police forces or supporting services connected to the Games
Government Pins issued by local or regional Government of a host city
Partner / Sponsor / Corporate Pins issued by the companies who supply funding, services, materials or resources to the organisation and execution of the Games. They usually combine the Games logo with the company logo. Click here to read more.
Official / Volunteer Pins issued to the Games officials and volunteers
Internal Pins issued to the staff or VIPs of the organising committee
Bid / Candidate City Pins issued by the organising committee in the process of tendering for the Games and when the final shortlist of candidate cities is announced. Used to publicise the bid
Theme
Logo Pins which use the Games logo or symbols as the main subject of the pin
Mascot Pins which use the Games mascots as the main subject of the pin
Countdown / Milestone Pins issued at key dates or milestones in the run up to the Games
Handover / Bridge Pins which link two or more Games. Usually issued to mark the transition of the Games from one host city to the next, they combine the logos of each Games
Venue / Stadium Pins which identify the key locations, venues and stadia used during the Games
Sport Pins which identify the sports taking place during the Games
Ceremony Pins to commemorate the ceremonies in the lead up to the Games and the Opening and Closing ceremonies
Cultural Pins which identify cultural aspects of the host city and country and also support the Cultural Olympiad
Pictogram Pins which display the offical pictograms or symbols of the Games' events
Host City Regions Pins issued to identify the regions that make up the host city
Torch Relay Pins issued to celebrate the torch relay available to the public

Other Pin Definitions
Generic A pin which is not specific to a particular Olympic Games but is issued to mark a number of Games or association to the Olympics for a number of years.
Usually issued by NOCs or worldwide sponsors.
By definition, these pins are not directly linked to London 2012 and will therefore not be catalogued.
