The design of the pin for North Carolina is colored in a two-tone color palette. The color palette is designed with a brass metal tone with a hint of gold. The elements chosen to represent North Carolina are Pepsi, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Babe Ruth, Roanoke Island, and thirteen stars. The theme for this pin is ‘North Carolina’s Firsts.’  The pin is in a circular shape with stitches inside the shape, representing a baseball that coincides with Babe Ruth as well as a gold coin representing the first gold rush in North Carolina. The idea behind the color palette of the pin is to let it be like a vintage collector’s item. The main element of the pin is Babe Ruth because there are many baseball fans who are fans of Babe Ruth and are looking to collect all paraphernalia that is related to Babe Ruth. The companies, Pepsi and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts were first founded in North Carolina, and Roanoke Island was the first settlement of settlers in North Carolina. The thirteen stars represent North Carolina for being one of the first states to become a colony in the United States, which is the 13th colony.
