Pin Description:

Introducing the first pin in the 2013 Disney Poster Art Pin Series! This limited edition pin for January showcases the poster design by Disney Design Group Artist, Dave Keefer. A display easel is included with this poster pin. In the poster's corners, Mickey's white gloved hand points towards the center. The top of the poster says "Twenty" with the number 13 appearing from an upside-down Sorcerer Hat. Behind the 13, there is a red Mickey Mouse icon with stars and lines overlapping. The middle of the pin says "Always Lucky!" At the bottom of the sorcerer hat, there is a red banner that reads "Believe in Magic". At the bottom of the pin, there are white circles and blue stars. Mickey Mouse's head is on the bottom point of the sorcerer's hat. This pin has a bronze-colored sculpted metal filigree frame with red mickey icons in the corners.

The Disney Parks Blog featured a few words from the designer about this design:

“Before we created the ‘Believe in Magic’ program, we had many ideas for the direction of the 2013 dated merchandise,” explained Dave. “During the development process, we played off the idea of lucky versus unlucky. For some people, the number 13 is an unlucky number, but I thought the opposite. I drew a quick sketch that had an ‘always lucky’ number 13 emerging from an upside down Sorcerer Mickey’s hat. The poster concept was well received, so other artists submitted their takes on 2013.”
