    Yes, I would dig this! It might be a little awkward for 1 artist to do all of the designs, but I would alternatively worry about dramatically varying styles if each artist did their own...hmm.

    As for other Penny Arcade universe related pins, I would love an Automata set.

    In Strip Search they had those stand up cutout things they each did of themselves. Those could be cool. I wonder if they would work as a basis for pins.

    If they kept the full body instead of just the head I would want Abby's tangents intact ;) #teamtangent

    Any thing by RareWare please. They could make a mumbo jumbo pin.

    Did you check out artist alley? Some of the artist did have their own pins. Not official Pinny Arcade, but pins none the less. I purchased a pin from Tavis since he was my favorite Strip Search contestant.

    I did see their personal pins, I meant official Pinny Arcade ones. I did get an official Strip Search pin, which was neat.

    I'm a pa old school, been here since day 1, go away you new school noob pa follower kinda guy. What if there was a pin...that had to be earned? Something for those of us that have been here through all the thick and thin. Maybe we have a test to take to earn the chance to take another harder test, to earn the honor of paying a fee, in order to take another test just for the chance to pay for a license to buy a pin that says we've been with pa for 15 years. If I had to jump through hoops for something special that showed I've been here with pa since day 1 I'd pay significant money...as long as there were barriers to entry. An achievement "earned". Anyone on board?

    I don't think any pin like that, which deliberately excludes massive sections of the fanbase, would ever be a good idea. The more people who collect pins, the more people I have to trade with. We should be inviting new people into the community not making them feel bad for only discovering recently what we've all been enjoying already.

    It's awesome that you've been a fan of PA for so long, but I think you can take that attitude and go, if you're being serious.

    This passes the Satire test, in that I can't be 100% certain if it is a genuine plea for recognition of Teh Hardcorez, or just a beautifully crafted parody. I have read it a dozen times, and I am in awe.

    Yeah, I was also unable to tell for sure. Thing is, on the internet, I always lean towards assuming someone is serious when they say something that /seems/ ridiculous.

    Today's comic makes me want a pin featuring Mr. Period and the Bad Boys of Punctuation.

    The holiday themed sets have gotten me thinking, what about the most important Penny Arcade holiday of all? Gabe's Birthday! The Christmas In September!

    I would love to see The Christmas In September set this year around Gabe's birthday. There's at least four pin ideas in two of the comics already:

    Parade Balloon Gabe
    Flying Gabriel Rejoice Festival
    Goerbemisdag
    Los Dias del Gabriel

    Skyrim and/or Elder Scrolls Online logo pins.

    Both of these would be awesome just because. But also, I'd be interested to see if they could be done with the empty space as actually empty space. For instance, the ESO logo as an actual ring with an empty middle, not a disc with black in the middle. I'm not sure whether that's feasible or not, but I think it'd be pretty cool.

    Also, really want a Transistor pin or set. Red, the sword, the logo. Anything would be amazing; love the art style and I'm sure the game will rock.

    Bethesda was passing out Elder Scrolls Online pins at last Prime, and they're exactly as you described. A ring with an actual empty middle.

    I have a serious question. How is this not a pin yet?

    There NEEDS to be some Titanfall pins for East this year. I am in love with this game.

    Incredibly fun. twitch.tv/redfield85/profile I have some gameplay highlights from when I played on there. You can go to past broadcasts and see my 2 hour session from earlier.

    I'd love a Titan pin. A pilot rodeoing someone's Titan. You could probably make 2-3 different Titan ones.

    Anyone who watches Rev3Games will unanimously agree a pin for the ALMIGHTY SESSLER GOD HEAD needs to happen.

    Which is one of the reasons that I watch Rev3games. I'd buy a Sess head tshirt if they weren't nearly 30 damn dollars.

    Video game media in general is pretty awesome now days. It's completely relatable people just talking about how they honestly feel about games. You know, like Mike and Jerry.

    Rev3games and video gamer UK are my favourites. Agreed, love the casual form 'journalism' has turned into with the age of youtube

    So many pin wants from Kris Straub's animated DLC Podcast! http://www.penny-arcade.com/podcasts/video/dlc-credit-add

    Would love pins based on his take on Mike and Jerry as seen in the animation. Also Holhog, Prison Ball and Frumhelta Breakfast P.I. pins please!!

    EDIT: Actually, maybe Frumhelta Breakfast is better as a poster. But for pins the others are gold, Jerry (and Mike). Gold!

    I would love a Child's Play pin, especially if the proceeds were going to Child's Play, but I can understand their hesitation on it.

    This would actually make me a bit sad. I've been making un-official CP pins for years now, handing them out at PAXes and CP events as a method of increasing awareness of CP and hopefully bringing in more donations then it cost to make them. PA has let me continue this on the stipulation I never sell them, which I'm fine with. But if they came out with an official one I'd likely need to stop, so things don't get confusing.

    But, on the flip side, an official CP pin would be pretty sweet.
