Description: Founded in Pocatello, Idaho in 1913 by Clarence Garrett as a luggage transfer service for railroad passengers, Garrett Freight Lines grew to become the fifth-largest freight carrier in the U.S. and a major employer in Pocatello for nearly seven decades. Garrett was purchased in 1977 by a private equity firm, and then sold to ANR, an oil and gas concern, in 1978. ANR purchased three trucking companies with authority to operate routes from coast-to-coast. ANR redesigned the familiar green-and-gold Garrett logo, replacing it with a multicolored U.S. map design, and moved the firm’s headquarters to Denver, but eventually divested its trucking businesses, leaving Garrett to be absorbed by other entities.

Description: English band X-Ray Spex was one of the first punk bands not only fronted by a woman, but by a biracial woman, whose stage name was Poly Styrene. With Styrene leading the group, X-Ray Spex brought a different, more expansive, and inclusive, Punk message and sound to the masses. X-Ray Spex’s music was not the fast, aggressive punk that many of their counterparts in the scene were creating. Rather, the band offered a more snarky, socially aware sound that was upbeat and contained pop stylings that connected with new wave music. Germfree Adolescents is the band's 1978 debut album that contained the UK hit singles "The Day the World Turned Dayglo" (No. 23), "Identity" (No. 24), and "Germ Free Adolescents" which reached No. 18 in November 1978.
Description: Roller Games was a sports entertainment spectacle created in the early 1960s in Los Angeles, California as a rival to the national Roller Derby league. Roller Games provided a mostly televised, increasingly theatrical version of the sport, and its flagship team, the Los Angeles Thunderbirds (T-Birds) endured several boom and bust cycles, including a roller derby attendance record in 1972, a major reorganization in 1975, cable sports coverage in 1986, a TV series called RollerGames in 1989–1990 (and a corresponding video game), and a small number of untelevised exhibition matches from the '80s and into the 2000s. The 'Go T-Birds' fan shirt is from the team's 1978 rebranding that saw them go from red, white, and blue, to green and gold.

Bold collegiate lettering arches above and below a circular celestial symbol, creating the look of a timeless crest. The starry cosmic center paired with a rope-style border evokes traditional patch artwork and retro emblem aesthetics. With its aged badge layout, classic typography, and subtle celestial theme, this design captures the spirit of vintage insignia and heritage-inspired graphic art.
Description: October 30, 1978, WKRP’s station manager believed that he had come up with what was “the greatest promotional idea of all time” for Thanksgiving. This promotion involved hiring a helicopter to drop live turkeys at a local mall, but apparently, nobody involved was aware that turkeys are flightless birds: “Something just came out of the back of the helicopter. It’s a dark object. Perhaps a skydiver. A second. A third… No parachute yet. Oh my God! They’re turkeys!” They’re crashing to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! This is terrible! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! The crowd is running for their lives!”
