Generic Pins
There are a number of sponsors that have a partnership with the Olympic Movement rather than a specific Olympic Games. These 'TOPS' sponsors or 'Worldwide Partners' occasionally issue pins which are not connected to a specific Olympic Games and therefore have no Games logos or mascots on them. By definition they are not London 2012 pins and therefore will not be included in the inventory, but following some requests from readers I will attempt to show any generic pins that I come across.
