"Medals" and Bar Pins

Our “Bar Code” Pins and Medals are sets of stripes that can have meaning, but it can change with the wearer. Some colours were combined to look good together; they give a particular feeling or add to a look; perhaps they simply go with your outfit.

  Inquire about custom colours for your event, team, or group. We can even include your logo, or a special symbol

Each combination of Colour and Charm gives a different feeling or meaning

Who you are, and how you (or the recipient) wear this will give it meaning.
For example, red & white, on July 1st, will look different from red & white on Dec. 25th. Wear with pride!2017-11-16 13.40.52-1You might also like to read our Booklet / Page, “What Do the Colours Mean?”

Our Organization of medals goes by Colour, according to wavelength, or rainbow order. Here we start with “Everything and Nothing” – Rainbows and Black, then Brown, Burgundy, Red.

In this case, Black and Yellow, just below centre, above. Because Yellow and White are the light colours, or “Metals” in British Heraldry, most logos and flags, and many of our combinations have one of these colours, to provide good contrast.

Setts including Yellow, or Greens, or Blues, but no earlier colours. Yes, we know we ought not to use such dark pictures, but for now, is it better than no images? We hope so, and hope you will bear with us.

Our Chromatic Sequence concludes with setts starting with Blue, Purple, Pink, Grey and White, as long as there are no colours appearing earlier in the spectrum.
