Skater Mugs
Description: Blind (often stylized as bLind) was an American skateboard company founded in 1988, the name devised as the opposite of Vision, the founder's former long time sponsor. The company's logo for many years was a stylized, somewhat cute grim reaper character, shown here wielding his scythe and a pistol. Blind produced decks, wheels, soft goods, and accessories for about 25 years before going under.
Description: Fido Dido began life as a whimsical cartoon character created by Joanna Ferrone and Sue Rose. Rose first sketched him on a napkin in 1985 and then she and Ferrone produced shirts with the slogan "Fido is for Fido, Fido is against no one" in New York City. He became a local favorite that gained enough of a following that he became the mascot for one of the clear sodas on the market in 1987. Outside of the New York market, he initially failed to gain popularity, though as the America ushered in the '90s, he became an instant hit with his trendy look, laid-back attitude and unconventional take on life that fit well with the new decade.
