The Design is a gold based Bottle Opener style magnet – shaped like an Egyptian Ankh which is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that was most commonly used in writing and in art to represent the word for "life". The Ankh BO Magnet is yellow in color with the year ‘2015’ written on the very top of the magnet. Also pictured on the top of the magnet are musical notes, represented are the Bass Clef, 8th Note, B Flat, & a ¼ Note – all surrounding the upper circle of the Ankh.
The cross section (middle portion) of the Ankh displays a rendition of ‘SCARAB’ (Scarab Beetle) another Egyptian Symbol, which represents the sun, recreation of life/resurrection and transformation. The Hard Rock Logo is positioned just under the cross section of the Ankh, the Event name ‘PINS OVER EGYPT’ written along the top of the logo in a semi-circle & the location ‘MYRTLE BEACH’ sitting along the bottom of the logo in a semi-circle.
The base of the magnet is made to resemble the headstock of a guitar with 4 gold string tuners, 2 on the right & 2 on the left. A Pyramid is pictured on this headstock (bottom) of the magnet.
