Another indicator might be which restaurant was the first to use the New Guinea A-Frame.

:down: Trader Vic's Oakland - no A-frame:

:down: Trader Vic's San Francisco - no A-frame:

:down: Trader Vic's Chicago - First New Guinea-style A-frame:

:down: Trader Vic's New York - New Guinea to the hilt:

Even though the San Fran location on Cosmo Place didn't have an A-frame, it might have been the first to use the New Guinea logo. Here's a photo of Vic at Cosmo Place with the newly-carved logo:

And the San Francisco menu might have been the first to use PNG imagery:
