The campaign button may be a centuries-old invention, but in some ways it seems perfectly suited for the digital age.
A button with a clever catchphrase or compelling design can catch on and start popping up on backpacks and jean jackets everywhere, almost like the sartorial version of a viral tweet.
The popularity and share-ability of pins and patches isn't lost on New York-based design firm Sagmeister & Walsh, which just launched a pro-Hillary collection of patches, enamel pins, stickers, and temporary tattoos.
With Pins Won't Save The World the studio swaps out patriotic red and blue for vivid, candy-colored graphics and cheeky one-liners in the hopes of mobilizing millennials, a particularly elusive voter demographic, to support the Clinton campaign.
The studio also solicited the help of designer friends like Timothy Goodman, Coucou Suzette, and Jean Jullien, as well as studios like New York-based Ro & Co Studio and Berlin-based HORT, to contribute designs for the 68 products.
