Like most organizations, the GT Church wanted their challenge coin to be special. Challenge Coins Plus, an expert in challenge coin manufacturing, was able to take the customer’s challenge coin design to a whole new level.  They needed a memorable coin, of uniform design, to serve as an educator, law enforcement, and firefighter challenge coin.  By incorporating features like the church logo on one side with a custom emblem for each field on the other, GT was able to create a challenge coin keepsake that they could be excited about giving to these unsung heroes. Crafting the honorary gold challenge coin was truly a pleasure for us.

Recently, we were contacted by the organization because they wanted to create custom lapel pins with a powerful message to hand out to schoolchildren worldwide.  These small souvenirs serve as a reminder of the training that the students received so that they can continue to care for themselves in a safe and sterile way.

A sixty year commitment to preventing child mortality has given UNICEF its rock solid reputation.  The lapel pins created for this program pay testament to the group’s vow to “break the cycle of poverty that keeps children on the brink of survival.”

Incorporating Universal Symbols Into Lapel Pin Designs

Lapel Pins Plus worked closely with UNICEF to create a lapel pin design that students and teachers from all countries could relate to and understand.  Rather than complicate things by incorporating different languages on the surface of the pins, we communicated the message of good hygiene by coming up with a series of universal symbols.

The first is a tap with running water.  The second is an outhouse or restroom facility.  The third is a pair of hands with soap bubbles.  The underlying theme of the pins is that you should wash your hands with soap and water after using the restroom.  This type of message, although primitive in nature, makes a monumental impact on the lives of the individuals that come into contact with it.

Schoolchildren can display the pins on a shirt, jacket, hat or backpack.  They can also pass on the lessons that they learned from the UNICEF program to younger siblings, parents, and neighbors.  Rather than be the type of message that speaks to the individual, the custom lapel pins that we created for this program have the ability to educate people globally.

Ending poverty and human suffering is something we can all be a part of.  If your group or organization is looking for a way to get a message across and you want to do it with lapel pins, give us a call.  A trained sales professional can give you suggestions in regards to size, shape, and style of pins after hearing your design ideas.  For a free quote, contact Lapel Pins Plus by calling 1-800-252-0904 toll-free or by emailing info@lapelpinsplus.com.
