Animal Dog Lapel Pins

This dog doesn’t look friendly—and that’s exactly what gives the pin its character. The narrowed blue eyes, wrinkled muzzle, and slightly bared teeth make the expression feel tense, almost as if the animal has been caught mid-growl.

Most of the artwork stays in black and white, so the small flashes of blue around the eyes stand out immediately. The strong outline also keeps the face readable even at pin size, while the uneven fur shapes around the cheeks and ears stop it from feeling too polished or cartoon-perfect.

If you have an animal illustration with this kind of attitude, GS-JJ Custom Pins can turn it into a pin of your own. Start with a dog, wolf, mascot, hand-drawn character, or original artwork, then carry those lines, colors, and expressions into the finished enamel piece.
