1980s Pins and Buttons
Description: Night Flight was an online visual-arts magazine and variety television show that aired on cable TV from 1981 to 1988 before moving to syndication in the early 1990s. Night Flight was one of the first sources on American television to view full-length and short films not generally aired on network television, or even pay channels. Night Flight was also one of the first American television shows to present the music video as a serious visual art form rather than a mere promotional tool for musicians. Late-night broadcasts also afforded cable television the freedom to air portions of videos that other outlets had either censored or banned.
Description: Silver Shamrock Novelties was a toy company owned by Conal Cochran, a witchcraft-obsessed madman plotting to use his products to kill children during Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch. While this was perhaps not the best business plan, it was also not the best entry into the Halloween franchise, what with no Michael Meyers and all. Nonetheless, the movie happened and Silver Shamrock Novelties was born. This version of the design features a heavily distressed vintage imprint that looks like you may have got it while working at Silver Shamrock in the 80s.

Description: Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids is an American animated television series created, produced, and hosted (in live action bookends) by comedian Bill Cosby, who also lent his voice to a number of characters, including Fat Albert and himself. The show features an educational lesson in each episode, emphasized by Cosby's live-action segments. In addition, at the end of the early episodes, the gang typically joins in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a song on their cobbled-together instruments, summarizing the show's lesson.
Description: At the time of its Chapter 11 filing, Blockbuster said it would keep its 3,300 stores open; however, that December it announced it would close an additional 182 stores by the end of April 2011 in attempts to emerge from bankruptcy. It was reported in February 2011 that Blockbuster and its creditors had not come up with a Chapter 11 exit plan and that the company would be sold for $300 million (~$401 million in 2023) or more, along with taking over debts and leases. Blockbuster admitted that it might not be able to meet financial obligations required under its Chapter 11 filing, a circumstance which could mandate conversion of the bankruptcy filing to Chapter 7 (liquidation).
