About The Plug
First Logo
My first concept for a logo.
The Pins Plug was a basement dream at first, an idea to be able to be creative and express myself and make pins that I wanted to see, and in 2018 The Pins Plug was created. The reason why I chose that name was because, I wanted something that would let people know who I am and what I came do. I wanted something that was true to me and people could take serious when saying my name. A plug to many people is someone bad and to others good, but ultimately the plug is someone we all know that always has what we need. That’s what I want to be everyone’s pin plug.
When I started The Pins Plug I not only wanted to make my pins cool but I wanted my pins also to be respected and worn with pride. For my first pin I wanted something that I can pay my respect to and for the place that has given me and many others a place to call home it was only right that I make a custom Colorado pin. I had to learn a lot to get to this point, such as the basics that many pin designers already know and I am getting to know now. The pin community is very helpful and supportive so I also learned a lot from fellow makers. Now I know how to operate photoshop and illustrator, how to get shipping and all that other fun stuff it takes owning and operating a small business. The Pins Plug is a registered LLC. in the US.
I made a promise to myself when I started this to always use top quality materials and always keep it fresh for you guys. I didn't want to just dump a bunch of mediocre pins on you guys in a short amount of time, I want to make sure I’m giving you my best all the time every time. I want you to wear your pins proudly and continue to rock with The Pins Plug for many more years.
