The whole is encircled by a dark blue outline, on an off-white background, creating a strong visual contrast typical of the pop art style. This type of graphic design, often associated with event communication and merchandising of the 80s-90s, emphasizes the visibility and visual impact of the message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible face of the pin offers a smooth and shiny finish, suggesting an enameling process common in the manufacturing of advertising pins of this period. The clean lines and uniform color application demonstrate particular care in its creation. The inscription \"BUT\" probably refers to the French brand of the same name, known for its original and striking communication campaigns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pin is presented on a purple case with gold trim (not included unless otherwise specified), which highlights its aspect as a small collector's item or retro clothing accessory. No major defects are visible on the front face: no chips, scratches, or notable alterations to report on the observable surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic style used on this pin — a starry explosion and thick typography — recalls the visual codes of pop art and French television advertisements of the late 20th century. This strong visual, both simple and catchy, was frequently used for event campaigns or limited series designed to make an impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is. The visible front face is in very good condition, with no scratches or apparent defects.

The \"starry explosion\" style is directly inspired by the graphic codes of pop art popularized by Roy Lichtenstein, who used these forms to attract attention and energize the advertising message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping by a professional seller specializing in vintage and advertising items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: BUT pin, advertising badge, vintage pin, pop art pin, pin badge France, BUT brand pin, retro badge, 90s accessory, enamelled pin, French advertising, limited edition pin, vintage advertising pin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54286574846279,"sku":"bd7e79b5-81f7-41cd-92c0-d6ae6541d9fc","price":1.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_5a399a65-1866-49ab-8cbd-f48d8b405d09.jpg?v=1783117511","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/pins-publicitaire-vintage-but-edition-limitee-eclat-etoile-pop-art","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
