Service Branch Neutral Crest Pin
The design
On the pin
A navy shield in antique gold tone. A white star sits inside a gold laurel wreath in the center, and VETERAN runs across the bottom.
What it means
The star and laurel honor service without using any branch's official emblem, so it suits groups that include veterans of every service. Official branch emblems are trademarks licensed by each service, which is why we keep this design neutral.
Colors and finish
Antique gold darkens the recesses and highlights the raised laurel, giving the pin a heritage look.

More veteran pins
Can you add our branch's emblem?
Only if you have a license from that service; otherwise we keep the neutral star.
Can we make it for a specific era?
Yes. Wording such as VIETNAM VETERAN or GULF WAR VETERAN fits on the banner.
What does antique gold look like?
Darker in the recesses with polished high points, like an old medal. It is included at no extra charge.
Can we add a military branch emblem?
Only with written permission to use the insignia. These designs avoid official emblems so anyone can order them.
When should we order for Veterans Day?
Approve the proof by late September.
How big is a 1-inch pin?
Slightly larger than a US quarter. It is the most common lapel size for service awards. Your proof shows the pin at actual size.
