I'm more with Eric on this one. Incorporating the logo is fine, but I'd be a lot more jazzed about the idea with a more imaginative design than just the logo on white. It might be something FIRST can accomplish by tapping their current graphic designers (those game logos don't create themselves) or farm out to teams with the design chops if the lead times permit it. Regardless of the source, I'm of the belief that a more distinctive pin would better accomplish the visibility objective that Bill laid out in the first blog post.
I also note that the particular type of pin pictured seems to attract scratches. More durable pins would still come in significantly under the cost of a current medal (my
rough calculations used cloisonne pins, generally the priciest among the online vendors) while yielding a pin that we wouldn't have to be paranoid about.
