His name is Chip and he’s playing Cooking Mama!

We’re now part of the Pinny Arcade family!

For the past year, we’ve been secretly working on our new pin. A couple of our organizers, Samala and Vickinator, put their heads together to discuss ideas. Samala drew several concept sketches, we asked someone from the pinny community what makes a good pin design, and the image kept evolving.

We had a few designs we really loved from the start but we eventually went with something completely different. Maybe those designs will work for something else in the future.

Want a pin of your own?

You’ll have to track down a Brigadier during PAX and hand over your $20 (which will go to Cookie Brigade expenses, not Child’s Play). As usual, the easiest way to find us during PAX is by following our twitter (@cookie_brigade).

As a special treat though, we’ll also have a couple scheduled times you’re guaranteed to find us on the second floor of the Sheraton (in front of the Sandworm and Sasquatch theaters). Those times are as follows:

Friday:

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
