Our friends over at FanSets have a surprise release today for Star Trek: Picard fans: a full-sized version of Starfleet’s newest combadge, in pin form!
The company first tackled the 2399-era Starfleet badge design — worn by Commodore Oh, Admiral Clancy, and back-in-command Captain Will Riker — with their small lapel pin first seen at the Star Trek: Picard premiere events in Los Angeles and London back in January.
Here’s the small lapel pin that first beamed down in January:

Today, however, they’re showcasing the first full-size 2399 Starfleet badge pin, scaled to the full size of the prop badges worn in the television series.
While not a true “prop replica,” as there are some subtle details not present in this release, the new FanSets stylized Starfleet badge is a pin measuring nearly 3″ tall — more than twice the height of the small lapel pin, and equivalent in dimensions to the “real” 2399 Starfleet badge.
And good news: the full-size Picard badge is available for purchase today — with limited stock ready to ship out — at a price point of $14.95 (plus shipping, to destinations worldwide).
This pin comes to you directly from the Star Trek Picard series. It is full size at 2 ¾” tall. While manufactured with FanSets normal attention to detail this was not created to be a cosplay piece and is a pin, not a magnet.
The pin features a bright silver delta over a matte finish black nickel. Both layers are metal and the pin has two posts/clutches to hold it securely in place. This pin is not a prop replica.
What’s more is that this Picard badge is only the first to-scale Starfleet emblem the company is rolling out; they revealed on Twitter overnight that their next target is the Starfleet delta pin worn by officers starting from Star Trek: Generations forward, which (in-universe) was the badge just before the Picard-era design.
