The object in the museum catalogue

This is a pin-back button designed for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign. It is a round button with a blue background with a large capital letter ‘H’ in the center. The letter ‘H’ is outlined in white and filled in with a bright orange color. Each upright leg of the ‘H’ has a dark blue lining the inside center of the leg. The caps at each end of each leg are highlighted in bright pink. An arrow with an orange shaft and dark blue head emerges from the left-hand leg and acts as the crossbar to the right-hand leg of the ‘H’. The arrow has orange and dark blue fletching feathers at the base. At the top margin of the button is white text that reads “HILLARY IS” and at the bottom margin the text continues “JUST MY TYPE.”
