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.

Mother's Day Pin and More...

Friday, 03 February 2012

New issues spotted on Glamorous Living's site tonight in addition to the pubs and bars set mentioned earlier.

To complement the Father's Day pin issued last year, London 2012 have issued a Mother's Day pin in advance of March 18th, the day on which it falls this year.

The pin shows a bunch or pink roses and a pink London 2012 logo. The Father's Day pin was limited to 2,012 pieces and I would assume the same for this pin too.

The next pin is Mandeville playing 7-a-side football. This is the second pin of Mandeville playing football as the previous one (0495) was 5-a-side football.

The final pins are large, medium and small versions of a printed Union Flag logo.
