Spaced-Out Fanboy Pins

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Look Like StarFleet's Finest With These New Age Star Trek Insignia Pins

— April 4, 2013 — Art & Design
With nearly a half century of Star Trek TV shows, merchandise and fan art in existence, you can imagine that the rabid lovers of this sacred science fiction series have developed some pretty extreme ways to tribute their obsession, so these calm Star Trek Insignia pins offer fans a much more subtle way to homage this intergalactic adventure.

Modeled after the pins featured in J.J. Abram's 2009 blockbuster Star Trek movie, these Star Trek insignia pins are solid metal castings of Abram's redesigned pins worn on set.

Unlike head-to-toe regalia or pointed ear clip-ons, these Star Trek insignia pins are a much more muted way to show your allegiance to StarFleet. Available in the command, medical, science and engineering styles, these pins have a hand-burnished finished that will have you looking like StarFleet's finest.
