Pencil Star Teacher Pin
The design
On the pin
A navy five-pointed star with a gold-tone edge. A yellow pencil lies diagonally across the center, and TEACHER runs along the bottom in raised gold tone.
What it means
The pencil is the everyday tool of the classroom, and the star turns it into an honor. It is simple enough for a school-wide pin that every teacher can wear with pride. Yellow pencils became the classroom standard in the United States in the late 1800s, so the color itself says school.
Colors and finish
Navy and yellow are a strong, cheerful contrast. Gold tone makes it look like a real award.
