Bring Your Brand to Life with 5 Stunning Custom Enamel Pins: Wind Waker Inspired Design

At HIPINS, we believe in creating high-quality, custom enamel pins that resonate with our clients’ passion for creativity and craftsmanship. Today, we’re excited to showcase a unique enamel pin design inspired by the Wind Waker, a beloved video game. This project demonstrates how custom designs, careful selection of materials, and expert craftsmanship come together to produce a piece of wearable art.

Project Overview

This enamel pin is inspired by the iconic Wind Waker series. It features a dynamic scene with characters navigating the open sea, along with vibrant colors that bring the design to life. The pin’s production combines multiple techniques, including hard enamel, metal plating, and expert printing. The final product reflects the dedication to detail that HIPINS is known for.

Design and Materials

The pin design incorporates several key components, such as:

• Gold Plating: The pin is plated with a gold finish, adding a touch of luxury while maintaining the durability and precision expected from a high-quality product. The gold metal plating enhances the intricate details of the design, especially around the characters and ocean waves.
• Hard Enamel Coating: The pin’s colors are carefully applied using a hard enamel coating. This technique ensures a smooth, polished surface while allowing vibrant, long-lasting color that doesn’t fade over time. The colors chosen for this design include bright blues, vibrant oranges, and earthy greens, reflecting the playful and adventurous nature of the Wind Waker universe.
• Detailed Printing: The intricate details, especially in the character designs and background elements, are enhanced with advanced printing technology. This is particularly evident in the small but important elements like the birds flying above the ship and the waves crashing below.
• Custom Backing: The pin features a custom back with a strong rubber clutch attachment to ensure secure wear. The back also includes a printed message with a reference to the Wind Waker narrative, bringing an extra layer of thematic depth to the pin.

The Production Process

At HIPINS, every project is carefully managed to ensure the best possible result. Here’s an overview of the production stages:

1. Design Approval: The initial design concept is reviewed and refined with the client. We ensure the design aligns with the brand’s vision and the character’s aesthetic before proceeding.
2. Material Selection: For this design, we chose high-quality gold plating and hard enamel to bring out the details of the characters and the sea. The color palette is carefully selected to match the vivid colors seen in the Wind Waker universe.
3. Pin Creation: Once the design and materials are finalized, the pins are created using a combination of hard enamel techniques and metal die-cutting. Each piece is individually hand-filled to ensure that no two pins are exactly the same.
4. Printing: For the finer details, such as the characters’ expressions and the intricate background designs, advanced printing techniques are used. These prints are sealed under the enamel to maintain their clarity and vibrancy over time.
5. Final Inspection and Packaging: After the pins are crafted, they undergo a rigorous quality control process. Each pin is inspected for color accuracy, metal finish, and overall quality. They are then packaged carefully in PVC bubble bags to ensure safe delivery.
