Sequential Circuits Inc. Ear-Force enamel pin from approximately 1982.
Okay - its been a while. And may be a while before I post again. Life is in progress. :)
But when I came across this pin I knew I just had to write a small post about it.
The pin is one of many Ear-Force promotional items that came about from the popularity of a series of ads that were designed by John Mattos, including the following (click on the images to read the corresponding blog posts and view larger version of the ads):
The design of the pin comes directly from the Ear-Force logo found in those ads - or two of them anyways. Of course, they had a much more limited pallet for the pin, so they went for a solid green, gold, and blue within the triangle imagery. I've put the two side by side below.

I've never seen the posters in person, but have seen them lots online, mostly behind old and new photos of Sequential Circuits' founder Dave Smith. He is apparently more of a fan of John Mattos' SCI artwork than even I am. :)
