Tuesday, August 12th, 2008So, I started searching for some cool pens that I wanted and I came upon these really cool lego star wars pens. Supposedly if you get the whole set you can interchange the pieces and build your own pen, but the fact that it’s a lego pen with star wars characters is really neat.
“What Ya Gonna Do Brother” About Your Promo Pen Collection?
Monday, August 11th, 2008Here’s a cool Hulk Hogan promotional pen. Perfect for any Hulkamaniacs pen collection. This pen is pretty old school especially since the WWF, I mean WWE changed their logo awhile ago. I think it’s been like 6 years since the rebranding. But still it’s still a really cool pen.

Bic Anniversary Pen
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I saw this really cool Bic anniversary pen. Bic is certainly one of the most popular brand names in commercial pens. I thought that it was so cool that penhero.com had a Bic Silver Anniversary Pen. According to PenHero, Bic pens were the first pen that wasn’t a fountain pen. That’s kind of cool since the most popular pens to collect are Fountain Pens.

The Emergence of the “Floaty” Pen
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008I have seen “floaty” pens in tons of tourist attraction, but never have I ever seen them used as a promotional product.
I like this one from Prudential

Of course this “floaty” pen,
from the 1964 World’s Fair is a really vintage pen that any pen collector (especially myself) would love to get his/her hands on.
Getting creative with your promotional pens
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Have you ever thought about getting creative with your promo pen collection? Perhaps you’ve had an idea to turn a pen itself into something artistic, or perhaps even something more useful than a simple pen? That’s what participants in the Designboom competition had in mind when they re-invented the Bic ballpoint pen.
This participant decided to add to the functionality of the classic Bic pen cap by adding fork, knife, and spoon extensions.

This next entrant decided to take a green approach and turn their Bic pen into a flower vase!

And this final entrant got a bit militaristic and decided that Bic pens should also be used as bow-and-arrows.

So you see, collecting free pens goes beyond the joy of building up your stash. You can actually use these pens for do-it-yourself projects like the ones pictured above. Who knows, maybe your innovative design will revolutionize the way we see pens!
