Thank you so much for taking a moment to check out my project! I’m Vinny, aka VintageDoggo, a hobbyist/artist and I enjoy making furry themed art! But I, as well as many of my friends are members of the LGBTQIA+ community and i wanted to make something to help make them feel seen. With loads of excitement, I present the Love Is Sweet Collection!A pride flag enamel pin series, with a sweet candy twist! one of my favorite treats to get whenever i go to a candy store that makes their own candy is their ribbon candy, taffy, or hard candy whenever it is in stock!
Pins will be funded through an exciting unlocking system! Our initial goal is to raise $700, which will unlock the first three piesigns in the series. Once we reach that goal, the fun really begins! Every funding milestone beyond that will unlock additional designs, all the way up to a total of 16 unique pins!
After the first three designs are unlocked, each stretch goal will reveal two new pins at a time. This approach helps keep the momentum going and lets backers enjoy frequent reveals as we continue to grow. With your support, new designs will unlock faster and faster, giving everyone something fun to look forward to as the campaign progresses!
This campaign can only be achieved with the generous support of backers like you. By pledging, you’ll help bring these pins to life and ensure that you can snag the design you’ve been eyeing. Your support helps me create the things I enjoy as well as making something bigger than we all are when we work together. my last few projects would not have been possible if it wasn't for all of you!
Each pin is roughly 1.4 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide! We plan to use hard enamel with black nickel plating, secured with two backing points to keep your pins in place! Our initial goal is to unlock 3 designs before moving on to stretch goals, each successful stretch goal unlocking 2 additional designs!

Hi! I’m Vinny, also known as VintageDoggo I'm a hobbyist artist and small merch creator who loves designing character-themed enamel pins, stickers, and collectibles. I create artwork inspired by the games, aesthetics, and styles I love, and I put a lot of heart into making merch that feels fun, nostalgic, and full of personality.
I am also the owner of The Taffy Tabby, my orange-cream-float themed candy parlor cat who represents my love for retro soda shops and mid-century character design. Taffy Tabby is a big part of my personal brand, and many of my future projects revolve around building that sweet, colorful world. This project means something extra special to me since myself and many of my friends identify as LGBTQIA+ in some way! Every project I launch is funded entirely by community support. That means every pledge, share, and bit of encouragement makes a huge difference and helps small creators like me continue to bring new characters and ideas to life.
Thank you for supporting my art, my creative journey, and the worlds I’m building from Tiger Rock all the way to Taffy Tabby. Your support truly means everything!
This isn’t my first enamel pin project! Many of you may recognize my earlier Pawpsicle Enamel Pin Series, inspired by fan-favorite characters and designed in my gumball popsicle style!
Thanks to the amazing support from the community, the original campaign was successfully funded, followed by a second expansion that introduced even more characters and designs.
Below are some images showcasing those previous projects, including:
Our First Series: FNaF Inspired popiscle pins
My Original "Good Boy" Pins
Our expansion to the fnaf pin series
I appreciate every person who pledges, shares, or even just checks out this project. Your support is what allows small creators like me to keep making fun, fan-inspired merch for the community.
The largest risk with the creation and manufacturing of pins is the factory process. I plan to work with a well established vendor with lots of experience in big projects. However there will always be the change something may go wrong during manufacturing that may slow down production, and thus a delay in shipping. The timeline for shipping is NOT solid due to these factors but we will keep all backers updated each step of the way
