Pin Guidelines & Vendors

Pin trading is one of the most popular activities at Destination Imagination (DI) tournaments. In order to protect our organization, our DI teams and our volunteers, we have instated new pin guidelines for teams and individuals. Please be sure to review the guidelines below before creating pins for an official Destination Imagination event.

COMMERCIALLY MADE PINS

The following applies to all commercially made pins designed and created by teams and individuals:

A list of approved Destination Imagination, Inc. Licensed Pin Vendors is available below. More Licensed Pin Vendors will be added as they are approved. Our vendors are required to adhere to the guidelines published in our Pin Policies Doc and Brand & Style Guide.
If you have any questions regarding your pin design, we ask that you contact the Licensed Pin Vendor directly.
Teams and individuals are prohibited from infringing on a person’s or company’s intellectual property. Teams and individuals may work with Licensed Pin Vendors to create appropriate designs that do not violate relevant copyright law. It is the responsibility of the Licensed Pin Vendor to ensure and communicate adherence to copyright laws.
