4/8: First Coca-Cola London 2012 Pin Appears


Some of you may have already seen this, but it looks like the first, of what I'm sure will be hundreds, of the Coca-Cola pins has appeared on eBay (click here to view the auction). As they are a major player in pins and pin trading, I thought the fist 'Coke' pin was worth a mention.

This pin was issued as part of the 2 YTG milestone, but no word on where or when - did anyone see these on the day at any events?



What I find most interesting though is that this pin was made by Honav (it's number COC0001). I wonder if they will be making all the Coca-Cola pins or maybe, like Visa,some will be made under Honav's licence and some under whatever worldwide licence Coca-Cola have.

Also, it's worth noting that there's wording on the back 'produced from partly recycled material' - this first time we've seen this green message on a pin for 2012.

I think, that like every Olympics... Coca Cola can make the pins everywhere with a lot of licensed manufacturers... but sure that they will make a lot with the official manufacturer to sell in their own shops in London during the Games...
But be sure, that will appear more Coca Cola and London pins made in US, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, Spain, Germany...
I´m crazy about Coke Pins! ;-)
