Noah Chamberlain: The Olympic pin – one small item that can tell a hundred big stories...

Mark Kass: Olympic pins, so much more than just a brand story

Fact of the day

When Ethiopian Haile Gebrselassie won the 10,000 metres at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 his winning margin of victory over Kenyan rival Paul Tergat was only 0.09sec, closer than the winning margin in the men's 100m final. That race was won by American Maurice Greene, who beat Trinidad and Tobago's Ato Boldon by 0.12.

New LOCOG Internal Pins

Monday, 23 January 2012

January 23 - Two new internal pins were spotted this weekend.

The first, LOC0019, recognises the Catering, Cleaning and Waste team. It shows Wenlock with a mop, chef's hat, serving dish and recycling bin. We believe there are 4 pins in this set in each colour of the logo.

The other, LOC0027, recognises the Finance team. This one shows Wenlock carrying a calculator displaying the number '2012'.

The issue size of these pins is not known, however recently pins like this have been defined as 'Not Limited' as they could be reordered at any time.
