50th anniversary pin featuring a gold and black record in a gold frame with a black background. Pin celebrates the golden anniversaries of the Hard Rock Cafe brand and the original London location, both founded in 1971.
Pin is 3D textured. Record is gold with a black center that resembles a record label. On the label is a Hard Rock 50th anniversary logo in gold. Below the logo, also in gold, is the location name (London). Below the record is a rectangular gold display plaque that has the appearance of being engraved. On left side of plaque is a Hard Rock logo. On right side are three rows of text. Top row says "Hard Rock Cafe," and middle row says "50 Years of Rock," both in capital letters. Bottom row says "1971-2021."
