Who do these signatures belong to?!?

I just received Pin 15003: DLRP - 1st Anniversary Pin Trading (Tinker Bell) Light Up and noticed that it had some signatures on the back of the pin.

Sorry that the picture is so large.
Please help me work out who these signatures belong to, thanks in advance

usually, it is the artists involved in the pin design, or the voice of the character.....? no clue who those exact siggy's are from though.

Ahh. Does it change anything about the value/rarity of the pin?

It can, but only if the pin is in demand to begin with and you can find somebody who is into artist signatures. So usually not much.

Still...a cool find. Whoot whoo!

Nice find! Congrats!

Thanks I hope that one day I will be able to say who they belong to. I didn't think there would be 3 artists for one pin though.

Could be Walt himself LOL...

Hahaha, I wish it was :')

Over on Dizpins, they have a review of the event and in the review it says that three Disney artists "Kym, Laurent and Jerome" were in attendance at that event.

Further Googling and Laurent appears to be Laurent Predalle (who will also be the artist at the Rapunzel Noel event thingy). The signature in the upper left looks like it could be a LP. Not sure on the other 2 full names, but maybe Paris people know.

EDIT: Looks like there is a Jerome Lebrun

Does getting a pin signed ever negatively affect the value?

Thanks hopemax, you have really helped to solve a mystery.
I have just googled 'KIM DISNEY' and have found that it could possibly be Jin Kim. Not 100% certain with that, but at least it is something

Actually, I was looking at Laurent's Linked In profile and it listed someone named Kim Fitzke who worked as a character designer for DLRP during the time this pin was released, and does show up as designing pins. So I'm guessing that's who the third person is.

^^^You may want to check out this lead because I have something signed by Jin Kim, and it looks very different...

If anyone has anything signed by either Laurent Predalle, Jerome Lebrin or Kim Fitzke, please can you post a picture, it would be really appreciated
