The Party hat.

Beta testing is when people sign up to help fix the bugs in the beta version of Club Penguin and report them so Club Penguin could fix them. People who signed up are called Beta Testers, also known as betas. When Club Penguin was publicly launched, the team held a party to thank Beta Testers, in which the yellow and pink party hat was given out in the Town. Beta testers usually wear this hat as it shows that they are a beta tester. Most beta testers have names like "fano" or "JaMeS" that have a mixture of lowercase and uppercase letters. Although, when Club Penguin launched the CPIP test server, the names were changed so "fano" is now "Fano" and "JaMeS" is now "James". However, on August 4th, 2009, Most beta testers' names have been restored, turning "Fano" into "fano", or "James" into "JaMeS". Today, these penguins are considered very rare, as most have quit because they have either gotten too old or just got bored. Betas most likely have the Shamrock Pin because it was the first pin released on Club Penguin.
