I recently had the pleasure of producing a custom military coin for a wonderful veteran program Operation Restoration which is offered by The Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) Indianapolis.
Operation Restoration is a weekend retreat designed to reunite couples after one of them returns from combat deployment. The program allows couples to reconnect and renew their relationship.
The weekend retreat is focused on providing a relaxing environment to cultivate self-discovery, enhanced communication and interaction as a couple. Operation Restoration is offered at no cost to qualifying combat veterans and their significant others thanks to a generous grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc.
When Tammy at the VA hospital first told me about the purpose of the coin I was so touched. This program is vital in transitioning a post deployment veteran back into the everyday relationship moments one experiences with their partner.
The custom coin was produces out of brass and features the Operation Restoration logo and core areas of focus. It features a brass swirl diamond cut edge which contrast beautifully against the shiny nickel plating. The electric sparkle texture on both sides allows the art to stay the focus. Even the tiniest detail of the grey camouflage pattern is impeccable.
Couples participating in the program will receive this coin to remind them daily of the components of a loving relationship.
Please click OPERATION RESORATION for more information on the program.

Few things are better than having fun with others while doing some good for your community. More people than ever before are combining their hobbies to do special things for their fellow citizens. A great example of this is motorcycle clubs holding fundraising events. One biker club had a bike ride to raise money for their favorite children’s hospital. They made it extra special by giving participants a special edition Cardon Toy Drive Ride motorcycle pin.
These custom lapel pins were used to commemorate the ride and show their civic pride. More clubs and groups are using service lapel pins, motorcycle pins or recognition lapel pins to celebrate their special events. Not only do we provide custom lapel pins, we also offer custom biker back patches for leather jackets. They are perfect for civic organizations or clubs to raise money and promote their events.
Many organizations have developed loyalty for their events by designing and handing out new logo lapel pins every year. They now have a larger and more loyal following which ultimately helps their fund raising efforts. Keep your participants and donors coming every year with a stylish logo lapel pin from Recognition Services.
Still think getting “pinned” is old fashion? Far from it. There is no hotter craze or valuable pastime than collecting custom lapel pins. Just ask organizations like the Olympics or Disney who sell tons of logo lapel pins every year. Now you can play with the big boys and make your event or mini-marathon stand out even better.
Most mini-marathons give T-shirts, cups or other mementos that have little value and are soon gone and forgotten. Why not reward your winners, participants and volunteers with unique and recognition lapel pins? Since they signify your event, they will only increase in value and personal memories. What better way to show your appreciation, recognition and sense of achievement than by awarding your most valued participants a unique, custom lapel pin that they can have as a keepsake of their hard work and commitment. One that is proudly worn and not discarded.
While many awards or medals just sit on the shelf for no one to see, a lapel pin can be a constant remember of an outstanding achievement or memorable event. While a T-Shirt will be worn once and get thrown in the junk drawer, a logo lapel pin is a constant promotion vehicle or statement of pride by the winners and participants.
Isn’t time you made your mini-marathon stand out?
Ordering is simple, easy and fast. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to standout from the crowd at a value. Getting “pinned” is not old-fashioned, but the best way to honor and promote your event or mini-marathon.
Political lapel pins are used every election year to promote a political party, politician, organization or event. Politicians have been using political buttons since 1789, but many people find that custom lapel pins provide a more sophisticated look compared to the inexpensive buttons often tossed away.
A custom lapel pin is a great tool to use for donations and fundraising. Including an offer for a free lapel pin for a donation a campaign can only help to gain more contributions. The political campaign receives free advertising when the contributor proudly wears their political lapel pin.
Political lapel pins can also be used for staff members and other important people when at a political event or speaking with the media. The lapel pin will look more professional on a suit or blouse than a political button. A logo lapel pin also helps to improve the brand recognition of a political campaign with a proper design.
We have designed political party lapel pins for both Democrat and Republican parties, so we don’t take sides when it comes to your custom pin design. During the last election, we designed and supplied important political lapel pins for President Barack Obama, Senator John McCain, Mitt Romney and other candidates. However, the campaign doesn’t need to be that big to still warrant a political lapel pin.
Check out just some of our political campaign lapel pins, including US Flag lapel pins and “Vote” wholesale lapel pins, at our political lapel pin web page.
Lapel pins are used in nearly every industry and organization, but many people forget they once had a logo lapel pin designed with their school mascot or emblem. Remember that special lapel pin you received for perfect attendance or being a member of a school club? Custom lapel pins are one of the best ways to show off school spirit.
Many schools will use recognition lapel pins to acknowledge the hard work of their students. Recognition lapel pins are used to recognize attendance, honor roll, service, spelling bees, and other achievements. Many school sport teams, or even their parent boosters, will wear a custom made lapel pin with their motto or logo. Marching bands, band boosters, chorus, dance teams, orchestras and even cheerleaders wear custom pins to display their school pride.
Even though they are sometimes behind the scenes, clubs and groups like student council, yearbook and debate clubs also wear lapel pins to meetings and school functions. Whatever the reason for your school pins, we have over 30 years of experience to help design and manufacture the perfect
lapel pin to display the loyalty you have for your school.
