ITIL pins

It has been a well-known tradition for years that passing an ITIL-exam does not only result in a certificate, but is also accompanied by the presentation of this pin. This distinguishing badge in the form of the internationally well-known ITIL-logo, exists in 3 colours:

* green, for the Foundation Certificate
* blue, for the Practitioner’s Certificate
* red, for with the Manager’s Certificate

The internationally well-known ITIL-logo has adorned the covers of ITIL books for years.

The ITIL-logo, a diamond consisting of a number of smaller diamonds, is internationally well known. Very few people remember the original meaning of the logo. ITIL supporters from the very beginning assert that the diamond symbolizes the coherence in IT infrastructure. They believe the four fields represent the four main subject areas in ITIL: Service Support, Service Delivery, Infrastructure Management and IT Management.

However, the square fields around a central area ’service provision’ also symbolize the four parties involved in the ITIL standard: in the centre ITIL literature (with OGC as owner), around the centre the users (represented by ITSMF), the examination institutions (e.g. EXIN) and finally the trainers and suppliers of ITIL related services.
