content: This is a pin-back button designed for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign. It is a round button with a purple background with a large capital letter ‘H’ in the center. The letter ‘H’ is outlined in white and filled in with a bright blue color. Each upright leg of the ‘H’ has a black linear design going up the center of the leg. The left-hand leg has an orange dot in the precise center of the leg from which an orange arrow emerges and acts as the crossbar to the right-hand leg of the ‘H’. 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.”
