1/12: News Update

I was lucky enough to speak to Honav UK today so can give you an update on what's been happening.

Firstly some sponsor pin activity.

• New pins are now out for UPS, British Airways, Cadbury and Scottish Widows.
• There are some sponsor Paralympic 1000 DTG pins coming out on Thursday.
• Both Tier 2 and Tier 3 partners are planning further pins at the moment (I think, though, that we won't see anything until next year (my opinion)

I have pictures and details of all the new pins (9 in all) so will get the inventory updated this week (probably after the Paralympic 1000DTG mark on 3 December).

Now for the LOCOG pins.

• No date yet on the new packaging for the London at Night set
• No date for the amended pictograms
• The 33 London Boroughs (or London Landmarks) set are in design at the moment

Lastly, the ODA have run a pin design competition internally to create a design to support their environmental and sustainability work. The judging is taking place at the moment, so expect another internal pin next year to go with the builder's hats.

Don't forget that the final 1000DTG pin comes out on Thursday to mark the countdown to the Paralympic Games. The Museum of London will be stocking it and Runner's Need will not. I'm not sure about Crest or Hux777. Please mention the London2012Pins.com website when speaking to retailers, it helps to spread the word - thank you.

So, check out the inventory later in the week or over the weekend - it depends how much time I get to upload the new details!

Thank you to Honav UK and the Museum of London for providing information.
