# Spaced-Out Fanboy Pins Look Like StarFleet's Finest With These New-Age Star Trek Insignia Pins By Brandon Bastaldo | Published 2013-04-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-insignia41 References: [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/d255/?cpg=wnrss) With nearly a half century of Star Trek TV shows, merchandise and fan art in existence, you can imagine that the rabid lovers of this sacred science fiction series have developed some pretty extreme ways to tribute their obsession, so these calm Star Trek Insignia pins offer fans a much more subtle way to homage this intergalactic adventure. Modeled after the pins featured in J.J. Abram's 2009 blockbuster Star Trek movie, these Star Trek insignia pins are solid metal castings of Abram's redesigned pins worn on set. Unlike head-to-toe regalia or pointed ear clip-ons, these Star Trek insignia pins are a much more muted way to show your allegiance to StarFleet. Available in the command, medical, science and engineering styles, these pins have a hand-burnished finish that will have you looking like StarFleet's finest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Subtle Fan Tributes:** Opportunity for creating subtle and minimalist merchandise for passionate fans. - **Nostalgic Brand Homage:** Opportunity for developing unique products that pay homage to iconic brands. - **Minimalistic Sci-fi Accessories:** Opportunity for designing sleek and discreet sci-fi themed accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Merchandising:** Opportunity for developing merchandise that appeals to dedicated fan bases. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for designing trendy and fashionable products with pop culture references. - **Cosplay:** Opportunity for creating accessories that enhance cosplay outfits with subtle details. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Starship-Inspired Dynamic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magellan-automatic-star-trek-warp-speed.md) - [Galactic-Inspired Stationary Pins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planet-pins.md) - [Subtly Sci-Fi Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set.md) - [Sci-Fi Media Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buildabridge-mini-bridge.md) - [Sci-Fi Film Franchise Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picard-tea-cup-set.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Themed Dart Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starfleet-phaser-blaster.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Virtual Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roddenberry-archive.md) - [Galactic Build Milestones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-uss.md) - [Replica Sci-Fi Toy Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playmobil-star-trek-klingon-bird-of-prey.md)
