Unix Party pin?

Yesterday I watched the movie Contact, based on a novel by Carl Sagan. I found it rather interesting, but that's not why I am making this post. On one of the computer monitors at the antenna array in New Mexico, there is a pin. Saying "Unix Party". I am not American, but I think it resembles to a political party pin, used during US elections. I have done some research about it, but I haven't found anything. Does anyone know anything about this? I would be happy to know more about this little novelty.

I took a photo of the screen. It's a bit blurry, but you can clearly make out "Unix Party".

I noticed the pin, at first I wasnt sure what it were saying,"unity party?". I noticed in a close up that yes, its Unix Part :) Funny they seem to be running windows machines I thought before?
