Odyssey of the Mind Pins

Odyssey of the Mind Pin Questions

What are Odyssey of the Mind pins?

Odyssey of the Mind pins are trading pins teams take to regionals, states, and World Finals. Most OotM pins are soft enamel or hard enamel. Teams trade them between long-term problem, style, and spontaneous.

Should we order a single pin or an OotM pin set?

Either works. A single Odyssey of the Mind pin is simpler. A set gives each teammate a different piece to trade. Tell us how many unique designs you want when you send the request.

Do the pins have to include Omer?

No. Many teams still put Omer on the pin. Plenty of teams skip him and use the long-term problem, a team joke, or school art instead.

What size should Odyssey of the Mind pins be?

Bigger trades better at OotM. Start larger than a standard 1.25" lapel pin if the budget allows. Omer and problem art both read better at a larger size.

How many OotM pins do we need?

Plan enough for each participant to trade at every stop, plus extras. Volume pricing is better at higher quantities. A few extras beat running out at World Finals.

Soft enamel or hard enamel for OotM pins?

Almost all Odyssey of the Mind pins we make are soft enamel or hard enamel. Photo screen is the faster option when the tournament date is close.

How long does production take?

Standard production and shipping is typically within 30 calendar days. Rush production with 15-calendar-day delivery is available for an additional charge. Include the tournament date on the request.
