Pin Background..

Hanna-Barbera produced a succession of very popular 

tv cartoon shows, including The Flintstones, Yogi Bear,

The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, and The Smurfs. The 

Olympikids concept was developed as another show 

but the story line was never produced.

These Hanna-Barbera characters included 6 Olympikids

and 2 coaches. They all trained on a ship. Other

characters were the ship's captain, his boy, and the boy's 

dog and bird. Even though a show featuring them never 

happened, the various characters were featured as 

Olympic pins.

These pins were produced as part of a collection, 

commissioned by the Seoul Olympic Committee, to 

commemorate the 1988 Seoul summer games. A second 

collection was made for the 1988 Calgary winter Olympic

games.

This information was provided in a 1987 publication by Hanna-Barbera.
