The visible face of the pin depicts a musher dressed in red and blue, accompanied by a team of stylized white sled dogs. The graphic design, characteristic of promotional creations from the 80s and 90s, combines crisp outlines and solid vibrant colors, typical of advertising enamel from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower part displays the inscription \"elf aquitaine\" in black lowercase letters on a white background, underlined by a horizontal red line.
