If you and your team need custom Beta Club trading pins, you’ve come to the right place!
Make Beta Club Trading Pins That Shine!
Beta Club trading pins are the cornerstone of an annual tradition that club members always look forward to! During the national convention every year, club pins are traded among members, displayed on lanyards and backpacks, and put in front of a panel of judges in hopes of earning the Best in Show award! Every team creates trading pins, giving them an opportunity to showcase their unique sense of personality and sharing their team story!
If you and your team need custom Beta Club trading pins, you’ve come to the right place! Here’s everything you need to know about designing Beta Club Pins and ensuring your artwork wows the judges and fellow club members!
Know Your Theme - Radiate
Before you start brainstorming for ideas, you need to know what theme you’re working with! The National Convention creates a unique theme every year that forms the building blocks of every trading pin. In 2023-2024, the theme was A Voyage of Adventure and for 2024-2025, the theme is Radiate!
So many fun and creative pins have already been created around this year’s theme, but there’s still so much more opportunity! If you need pins this year, think of how you and your team can incorporate the theme Radiate into your design. It could be a blazing sun full of glitter enamel, a glowing test tube full of radiating creative energy, or something else altogether! The examples we’ve included here only scratch the surface of what’s possible. Use them as inspiration and see what you and your team can come up with!
How to Make Beta Club Pins That Stand Out and Win Awards
If you’re wondering how to make custom beta club pins that make a big impact, you’ve come to the right place! Below, we’ve listed some top tips to help you create an award-winning design that’s sure to wow the judges and catch every pin trader’s eye during the convention!
- Choose Bold Colors - Bright, vibrant colors help your pin grab attention from across the room. Consider using your school colors to compliment your team’s unique story, and add glitter enamel or glow-in-the-dark enamel to help your design really shine!
- Create a Fun Shape - Why make a round trading pin, when you can make something with a completely custom shape? We’ve made Beta Club trading pins in the shape of boats, sunglasses, surfboards, rocket ships, castles, animals, and so much more! If you have a fun team mascot, use it to help shape your design! The sky’s the limit, so feel free to get creative and design something that really connects with the convention theme!
- Add Special Features - On top of creating a custom shape, adding special features is a great way to set your pins apart from the competition. Create an interactive pin with a custom slider or spinner! We also have options for blinkers, dangling charms, and special enamel colors that glow or glitter! There’s no end to the possibilities!
- Make It Personal - The convention theme should always play an important role in your design, but beyond that, try to think of ways to make your beta club pins special for your team. It’s important that the pins tell your story! If your team is particularly interested in science, incorporate test tubes and beakers into the pin design. Does everyone play music? Add musical notes or instruments to the design! Put your own personality into the design. It will mean more to your team and make them more exciting for others to collect!
