A PIN badge featuring Crystal Palace’s transmitter tower and park has been released to celebrate the 2012 Olympics.

The design is just one of 32 Landmark London badges made featuring an icon from the capital’s boroughs alongside the Olympic logo.

Each of the landmarks was chosen by residents in a competition organised by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and London Councils last September.

LOCOG chairman Sebastian Coe said: “These pin badges are a fantastic way to showcase to the UK and the rest of the world what a wonderful city London is and I am delighted to see how proud people are of their city and specific borough.

“I hope they will wear their pin badges with pride.”

The Landmark London pin badges will be sold at Runner’s Need, Crest of London, World Duty Free and the Museum of London.
