Edinburgh Festival Pin

The Edinburgh Festival is the world’s largest outdoor arts and culture festival. In 2003, Mac was invited to create the Hard Rock Cafe’s commemorative pin for the Edinburgh Festival. These highly sought after collector’s items are often traded for and sold by Hard Rock fans around the world.

Before creating the pin, Mac researched designs from around the world and found that many depicted full-size figures. “For this pin, I wanted to focus on the emotional, creative, and disruptive pleasure of being in Edinburgh for the festival,” says Mac. The 2003 Edinburgh Festival Pin stands as one of the most recognizable Hard Rock pins in the world.
