Design your pin with AI

Step one

Copy a prompt, fill in the blanks

1. 1Start with your official logoUpload your team or association logo file to the AI tool along with the prompt. The prompt tells it to keep the logo exactly as it is. Send us the same file on the form too - a vector file (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) if you have one. Want something like a pin from a past season? Upload a photo or proof of it too, to the AI and to us.
2. 2Pick the kind of pinClassic or Essential for logos, mascots and bold designs - one design works for either. Signature HD only for painted shading, gradients or photo detail.
3. 3Copy a prompt and fill in the blanksReplace anything in [SQUARE BRACKETS], including the size you plan to order. Generate a few times - the second or third try is usually better.
4. 4Keep the color listThe prompt asks the AI to finish with a list of Pantone colors. Paste that list into "Describe your pin" on the form. Naming your exact colors up front saves a proof round - a change of blue partway through means a new proof.
5. 5Send it with a descriptionUpload your favorite on the form, and describe the pin: what goes on it, the words, the colors. A logo, a sketch or an AI picture still needs the description; it is what our designer draws from. Sending a past season’s pin? Say what to keep and what to change.

Design a youth hockey trading pin for a team called [TEAM NAME].

Include: the team name, the age group [e.g. Squirt A], and the season [e.g. 2026-27].
Shape: [a shield, a rounded badge, or the shape of our logo].
The pin will be [PIN SIZE, e.g. 2.5] inches across.

Style rules for an enamel pin (Classic or Essential):
- Flat solid colors only. No gradients, no shading, no photos, no textures, no glows.
- A few bold colors. Fewer is cleaner.
- Bold, clean outlines. Every color area fully enclosed by an outline - those outlines become the metal lines.
- Thick lines and simple shapes. Nothing thin enough to disappear at [PIN SIZE, e.g. 2.5] inches across.
- Bold, simple lettering that is easy to read at that size.
- Centered, on a plain white background.
- Glitter, if we want it, goes inside a color area we choose - a background, a jersey, the fill of big letters - never on the outlines or on small text. Glow in the dark is a color area too. Label each area that gets glitter or glow.
- Crystals, if we want them, are small rhinestones set at a few points we choose - a star, an eye, a letter. Mark each point.
- The metal lines and edges are gold or silver unless we choose another metal color (black nickel, antique gold, antique silver, antique bronze, copper, rainbow, a team color). Draw the outlines as dark lines either way.
- Show only the design, flat and straight on. No mockup, no 3D render, no hand holding it, no drop shadow.

Use our official team colors: [COLOR 1] and [COLOR 2].
When you are done, list every color in the design as a Pantone C code, for example Pantone 286 C.

Design a youth hockey trading pin built around our mascot: [ANIMAL OR CHARACTER].

Show the mascot's head and shoulders, front-facing, with a confident expression.
Add the team name [TEAM NAME] on a banner beneath it.
The pin will be [PIN SIZE, e.g. 2.5] inches across, so keep the mascot simple - big shapes, no small features.

Here is a drawing by a young hockey player. Redraw it as a trading pin design,
keeping the original idea, character and composition intact. Do not
"improve" it into something generic - the point is that it still looks like
their drawing.

Add the team name [TEAM NAME] if there is room.
The pin will be [PIN SIZE, e.g. 2.5] inches across.

Here is our team's trading pin from a past season. Design a new pin in the same spirit -
keep [WHAT TO KEEP, e.g. the shape, the mascot, the layout] and change [WHAT TO CHANGE, e.g. the season to 2026-27,
the age group, the background].
Do not copy it exactly - it should look like this year's version of the same pin.
Add the team name [TEAM NAME].
The pin will be [PIN SIZE, e.g. 2.5] inches across.

Design a youth hockey trading pin for a team traveling to [TOURNAMENT NAME]
in [CITY].

Include the tournament name, the year, and the team name [TEAM NAME].
Work in one simple local or seasonal element - [e.g. a snowflake, a wheat sheaf,
a skyline silhouette].
The pin will be [PIN SIZE, e.g. 2.5] inches across.

Step two

See what it would cost

An estimate for your team, before you talk to anyone. It starts on Classic, our hard enamel, for logos, mascots and bold designs; a design with painted shading, gradients or photo detail is made as Signature HD. Pick either and the price follows.

Step three

Send it to us

Two ways, and neither is better than the other.

One thing to know: you’re responsible for having the rights to any logo or character you send us, and we can’t produce a pin using an NHL, college or other licensed mark without permission. Send it anyway if you’re not sure — permission is sometimes easier to get than people expect, and we’ll help you ask. Every design gets a human review before it reaches production.
