Buttons and Pins

Buttons and pins (pinback buttons/badges) are small circular badges featuring images, slogans, or designs, collected, traded, and worn to express fandom, political views, or personal identity. As a hobby, enthusiasts design and manufacture custom buttons using button-making machines, collect vintage or rare buttons, and trade them at conventions or through online communities. They have long been associated with political campaigns, music fandoms, and activist movements.
