Vintage MAAF advertising pin, limited edition, square green logo
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This lot consists of two distinctive advertising pins, both square with rounded edges. The first features a smooth, shiny golden finish, simply displaying the black inscription "maa" centered on the visible face, in a clean, contemporary font. The second pin, also square, stands out with a colorful design: a green background, a yellow curved graphic signature, the letters "MAAF" in white uppercase, and a red detail on the lower part. This motif clearly evokes the historic logo of the MAAF insurance company, in a version typical of the 1990s-2000s.
The presentation on a deep red velvet case highlights the contrast between the metallic appearance of the first pin and the enameled or lacquered effect of the second. Both items display a shiny surface, with no visible signs of oxidation or tarnishing on the front face. The contours are sharp, with no chips or scratches apparent in the photo.
The MAAF logo pin draws attention with its vibrant palette: deep green, luminous yellow, a touch of red, and a white border, typical of the brand's visual identity. The square and domed design is reminiscent of promotional items distributed during events or campaigns in vintage years. The other pin, golden and minimalist, offers a more discreet and elegant look, suitable for institutional or event use.
The typography of the MAAF logo is consistent with that used by the brand on its advertising materials, reinforcing the authenticity of the item. The square format, less common than round or rectangular pins, gives these objects a uniqueness appreciated in the world of advertising badges.
The quality of the finish, the brightness of the surfaces, and the absence of major defects indicate good overall condition on the front face. These two pins are representative examples of corporate communication at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. The visible faces are in very good condition, with no noticeable defects in the photo.
