For our second dive into Grateful Dead symbolism, we’ve decided to explore the Steal Your Face logo. Made up of the classic skull and 13-Point bolt, this symbol has become a calling card for Deadheads… and is ultimately a seriously bad-ass mark.
The classic 13-point bolt. This symbol is quite possibly the most recognized of all the Grateful Dead logos, and has a fascinating history. Sink your teeth into the icon’s fascinating history…
Jerry was born on August 1, 1942, and died on August 9, 1995, and during his short 53 years on this earth, blessed us all with his completely unique contributions of music, art, creativity, and overwhelming kindness. Because of this, we celebrate The Days Between, honoring his life and legacy.
Some have argued that the connection between The Grateful Dead and American symbolism was less patriotic than patronizing. An ironic gesture for a band with few obviously political messages.
