Part of the global Core Collage Guitar Pick Series. Each pin is a 3D guitar pick, bordered in antique silver and covered in colorful local images. At center is a raised Hard Rock Cafe logo in antique silver with no location name.
Cologne pin features an equestrian statue of Prussian king Wilhelm I on the right side in light green. At top left is the brown Cathedral and a flying bright green rose-ringed parakeet. At the bottom is a white and red tourist boat. Guitar pick background is a blue sky with a single white cloud at the top and darker blue river Rhine on bottom. Location name is at top center in white script.
The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. The statue of the German emperor is found at the south end of the Hohenzollern railway bridge. The first parakeets escaped in 1969 and since then there is a growing flock of parakeets living happily in Cologne’s parks.
