A service pin is a lapel pin awarded for reaching a tenure milestone — one year, five years, twenty-five years. Most are built as a series, where one piece of artwork is reissued at each milestone with something changed to mark the level: the metal plating, a gemstone, or the year printed on the face.
Some organizations use the term for any long-service award, including the pins volunteers and members earn for hours served rather than years employed. Either way, the design work is the same — see our years of service pins page for how a full program gets built.
