Robynne Raye/Hillary for America02HillaryPins1.jpg
Robynne Raye, cofounder of Modern Dog Design Co., designed pins that evoke the 1970's, like a pin featuring a line drawing of a dove, a daisy chain, and the words “clean energy.”
Joe Marianek and Dinah Fried/Hillary for America03HillaryPins10.jpg
Joe Marianek and Dinah Fried, of New York studio, Small Stuff, created the perfect icon for the Emoji era: a smiley face with Hillary's hairdo.
Scott Stowell, Martha Kang McGill, and Jason Jude Chan/Hillary for America04HillaryPins8.jpg
Scott Stowell, Martha Kang McGill, and Jason Jude Chan, all from Open design studio in New York, each submitted a design. McGill's "Praise" Emoji hands pin are one of many pins in the collection inspired directly by digital culture.

Others tend to reference history, like the collegiate seal created by designer Louise Fili from New York.
Paula Scher/Hillary for America06HillaryPins9.jpg
Paula Scher, a partner at Pentagram (and the designer behind high-profile brands like Shake Shack), created these arrows as a play on Hillary's logo.
Joslynn Hupe/Hillary for America07HillaryPins5.jpg
Joslynn Hupe, art director at Canyon Creative in Las Vegas, says her design of a prismatic pink, purple, and yellow “H” is deliberately offbeat. “The silhouette of the ‘H’ is purposely irregular, to represent my belief that Hillary will break out of the mold,” she says.
Roger Black/Hillary for America08HillaryPins4.jpg
Roger Black's minimalist design looks perfectly midcentury—a fitting style for pins referencing past political figures.
