Rare vintage 90s Quick University Trophy enamel advertising pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old advertising pin features the Quick fast-food chain logo associated with a university trophy. The item has an original shape, combining a bright blue rectangle bearing the inscription "TROPHEE UNIVERSITAIRE" (UNIVERSITY TROPHY) in gold letters, and a stylized character on the right, dressed in yellow and blue, in full sporting action. The lower part is occupied by the famous white "Q" on a red background, typical of Quick, accompanied by the brand name written in red letters.

The pin's surface has a glossy finish, typical of enamel, with crisp gold contours that highlight every detail of the graphic. The main colors – blue, red, yellow, white, and gold – are vibrant and well-contrasted, offering excellent readability and strong visual impact. The overall design evokes a 1990s graphic style, both in the character's treatment and the typography used.

The character evokes the energy and competitive spirit of university life, suggesting an award or distinction offered during a sporting or academic event sponsored by Quick. The item is flat, with moderate relief due to the cloisonné enamel technique, and features a metallic gold appearance all around the edge.

This pin stands out for its dual promotional and commemorative function, typical of advertising items distributed during partner events or institutional communication campaigns by major French brands in the late 20th century.

The inscription "Quick" and the central "Q" are perfectly legible, as is the mention "TROPHEE UNIVERSITAIRE" at the top of the pin. No other markings, vintage, or visible references on the photographed side.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some slight traces of wear and micro-scratches are visible on the enameled surface, mainly on the most prominent areas, but the overall presentation remains in good condition.

Did you know? Quick, founded in Belgium in 1971, established itself in France in 1980 and was one of McDonald's main competitors in the French fast-food market. Enamel advertising pins were widely used in the 80s and 90s as a communication medium during sports or university partnerships.
