Origin of early Trader Vic's logo Tiki found! - General Tiki

I'd love to see some more scans from it if so. It looked like it was a very early "style Guide" for the Polynesian Pop enthusiast? I actually expected this tiki would have been more stylised from its original source (which it was in some versions like the Kona Kai / R-88 mugs) even though it's obviously a tekoteko, but they've copied every detail faithfully, including the feathers on top. Just as well TV's aren't using this design anymore or they'd probably be getting some sort of legal correspondence from the appropriate tribe. myspace [ Edited by: Paipo 2007-05-12 15:54 ]
