The front of the badge features a vibrant blue background, enhanced by a central yellow lightning bolt or geometric band motif, which draws the eye and gives the whole a dynamic, retro look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface has a smooth, glossy finish, suggesting an enameling technique common on pins from the 1980s and 1990s, although the precise material is not explicitly stated.
