Jerry Garcia and Co. had the legendary "Steal Your Face" symbol painted on all their gear so that, during festival shows, fellow hippies wouldn't accidentally swipe their guitars.

It is the best, without a doubt, or a net.

The logo was created, I believe, by Stanley Mouse and debuted at the Winterland shows, when the movie was filmed.

Augustus Owsley Stanely the Third, the Dead's soundman in the 60's designed the logo. He also brewed a good portion of the Frisco LSD back then.

Should've been higher, but Im glad its in the top 8
sueat 2-19-2008
absolutely the very best

should have been muchhigher, but given the audience, as an old Deadhead I guess it is encouraging that great art (the music) trancends generations. It;s just a box of rain

ANY Grateful Dead logo should have been #1 !!!
From Kelly/Mouse "Skull & Roses" to Owsley's "Steal Your Face" and Bob Thomas' "Dancing Bears"
plus all the others in-between...
-it all rolls into one-

i believe that the Grateful Dead Got their name from randomly picking a word for a dictionary. lol

I personally can't stand the Greatful Dead... but I can't argue the pure originality of the logo. (And notice fans from the previous "skull" logo, at least they DID SOMETHING to make this skull stand alone.)
