Vintage CE & RF tree limited edition promotional green retro logo pin
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Limited edition vintage advertising pin, featuring a logo with the inscription "ce & rf." The visible side has a cut-out shape resembling a stylized tree, whose foliage and trunk are highlighted by a vibrant green background. The white typography "ce & rf" is harmoniously integrated into the tree's silhouette, all on a metallic-looking support with a glossy finish visible in the photo. The overall design is typical of institutional or associative campaigns from the late 20th century, emphasizing an environmental theme.
The pin's cut follows the contours of the main motif, giving the object a dynamic and original look, far from standard rectangular or circular shapes. The details of the foliage are stylized and crisp, while the trunk marks the separation between the two parts of the text. The whole is placed on a reflective blue surface, which enhances the shine and sharpness of the pin's finish.
The color palette is dominated by the intense green of the motif and lettering, contrasting with the silvery metallic-looking edge and the white background. No other motif or inscription is visible on the shown side. The pin appears to be in good overall condition, with no apparent scratches, chips, or missing parts on the front.
This type of pin was frequently used as a communication medium during events, awareness campaigns, or to represent institutions related to the environment, education, or public service. Its retro style and distinctive logo make it a decorative object and a testament to advertising design from the 80s-90s.
