The graphic was conceived by Ray and Illustrated by V.C. Johnson with art direction from George Powell in 1979. Initially released in two distinctly different shapes; a 10" x 30" "Widetail" version and a 10" x 28.5" "Snub Nose,” it came in "Brite-Lite" Dayglo yellow, orange, purple and green. In years to follow, it was made in various different colors and a Powell-Peralta logo was added. In 1983 Ray's signature was removed and replaced with a Powell-Peralta script logo. The graphic was also used for T-shirts and stickers. Originally Released: 1979, Artwork by: Vernon Courtlandt Johnson
