The Companion Cube Pin is a promotional miscellaneous item for all classes. It depicts a team-colored portal with the Weighted Companion Cube floating within – an eponymous object from the Valve game Template:W.

The Companion Cube Pin was given to those who pre-purchased Portal 2 on Steam before April 19, and was awarded in Genuine quality from April 15, 2011 to April 19, 2011.[1]
