Wisconsin Riders Get Custom Biker Lapel Pins to Support the Special Olympics

Few people know that the first Special Olympics was held in Chicago in July of 1968. It was started by Eunice Kennedy Shriver in 1962 as a summer day camp for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. It is hard to tell by the current involvement of nearly 200 million people around the world that the event began with just a little more than 1,000 participants 43 years ago.

Riding to Show Their Support

The 2011 Special Olympics will be held in Athens, Greece starting June 25th, which has generated a great deal of anticipation for the organization’s countless supporters, especially Wisconsin Law Enforcement. Officers and members will be doing their part to support the Special Olympics by participating in a charity motorcycle ride for which All About Pins was commissioned to create the custom biker lapel pin.

The motorcycle pin adds even more excitement about the coming of the event. The bright red flames against the black background suggest that something big is about to happen. The contrasting rich blue text makes the name of the ride boldly visible and easy to read.

Add-ons Create Character and Depth

The dangler add-on announcing the event year and displaying at lit torch adds a touch of fun and a sense of freedom that both the ride and the Special Olympics will inspire within its participants. However, danglers are not the only add-on option we offer.  For added character and depth of design, our customers can choose from glitter and glow-in-the-dark enamels, gemstones, bobble heads, sliders, cut-out and even blinking lights. In addition to those little extras, we offer custom shape, like the lapel pin shown above, which helps make the pin even more unique.

Polaris Industries Set to Sell Custom Victory Motorcycle Lapel Pins During Daytona Beach Bike Week

The 2011 Daytona Bike Week, scheduled to take place from March 4th-13th, is expected to turn out hundreds of thousands of visitors for its 70th annual showing.  For motorcycle enthusiasts, this means more bikes to appreciate and a larger crowd to maneuver through. However, for Polaris Industries, the maker of the Victory Motorcycle, this is a huge opportunity to promote the newest addition to its prized motorcycle series using customized biker lapel pins.

Triumph Crowned With Spirit

At Spirit Lake, Iowa, in 1998, the Victory Motorcycle series began its legacy. The first model of the Victory Motorcycle won Cycle World’s Cruiser of the Year award in 1999.  Since then the bike manufacturer has continued to produce award winning, stylish and highly demanded motorcycles. The industries’ latest creation, the Victory High-Ball,  is due to be available in April 201. The company describes  it not only as being stripped down for the classic riding spirit but also “a bold throwback”.  The lapel pins the bike industry leader contracted All About Pins to create celebrate the new bike as well as its other popular models.

Custom Logos, Artwork and Text

This oval shaped lapel pin design is just as unique as the Victory Motorcycle itself.  As a matter of fact, the inspiration behind the design details stem from the official Victory logo which can be seen inset at the highest point on the pin. Including the company’s official logo in the design is the key to ensuring that it possesses the maximum amount of marketing potential. Aside from the easily recognized Polaris trademark, the bold statement of “Victory” reaffirms the brand while the words “Bike Week 2011, Daytona Beach” announces where the motorcycle maker will be spending its first week of March.

Limited to No One, Perfect for Everyone

Motorcycle manufacturers are not the only group that can benefit from investing in custom biker pins.  Biker clubs use motorcycle lapel pins all year round to celebrate new club inductees, promote their clubs and raise money. 2011 Bike Week presents yet another opportunity for motorcycle clubs to promote their groups and participate in the event’s festivities at the same time.

When it comes to designing unique quality lapel pins, it does not matter whether you are a leading bike maker or a motorcycle club member.  All About Pins provides each and every customer with the same superior level of service, wide assortment of custom design options, high quality production and rapid delivery.

The Great American Motorcycle Adventure Lapel Pins Overstep Boundaries

The Great American Motorcycle Club creates custom lapel pins for people that participate in their exciting travel events.  The goal of their most popular rally is actually very simple.  Different locations throughout the United States are historically significant and serve as destination spots.  For example, the rally may start at the Naval Base in San Diego with the next stop being the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the final stop being held at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.  At each location, the rider must take a picture showing proof that they arrived at the destination as well as back up their claims with gas receipts.  All pictures are logged onto a website for the world to see and admire.  This makes a fun and interactive adventure for everyone involved.

Two Pins for One Customer

The Great American Motorcycle Club contacted us with two different lapel pin designs in mind.  One was created for everyone that participated in the rally.  Another was ordered for those individuals that were able to get all 33 points in the challenge.  Creating the pins for the different rallies and rally locations helps to create a sense of achievement with participants and serves as a piece of memorabilia for everyone involved in the event.  Being able to ride from one location to the next truly is an accomplishment and a life changing event for all of those involved.

Challenges and Rewards

Custom lapel pins make great incentives for events like motorcycle rallies.  Not only are they small and portable, they are typically worn in a location where everyone can see them.  Bikers can secure them to a jacket, hat or bag and ride to their next destination with little to no effort.  This makes them the best type of reward because they do not weigh down riders.

Images of different types of bikes or destinations can be included into the artwork which is featured on the front of the lapel pin.  Clubs and organizations can also include their logo, emblem or photograph as well as identifying information like their name, website address, city or state.

Custom Lapel Pins Rank High With Motorcycle Clubs and Riders

Motorcycle lovers know the importance of owning a quality bike.  In addition to having something reliable to ride on, motorcycles provide their owners with a collectible item rich with personal history.  Motorcycle clubs create custom lapel pins to reward members who have achieved specific goals.  This system of ranking adds honor to being a member of an organization and helps to generate public interest in the club’s events.

Some groups use motorcycle lapel pins to display pride for their heritage or nationality and to draw interest to the type of bike that they ride.  By incorporating their logo or slogan into the lapel pins design during the proofing process, they are able to have a personalized keepsake reflective of their club’s values and mission.   Custom lapel pins can also be created for motorcycle poker runs and other fundraising events.  These promotional products announce specific dates and help solicit donations from the public for the charitable organizations they sponsor.  Different types of backings can be ordered so that pins can be worn on t-shirts and leather jackets.   This helps clubs cater to all types of riders.

All About Pins has created pins of all sizes, shapes, and colors for motorcycle clubs around the country.  We are able to take a design idea and transform it into a one-of-a-kind custom lapel pin with distinction.  Motorcyclists love our custom pins.  That’s why they keep ordering them year after year.  In addition to our free design services, we also offer a full color digital proof, and free shipping services.  This helps motorcycle clubs stretch their budgets and achieve their goals.

Marc Pamatian knows a thing or two about lapel pins. As Manager of All About Pins, he works directly with businesses and organizations to design custom lapel pins that exceed his customer’s expectations.
