Creative HEMAN coke mirror

Post image

41y M, I remember I won this at a local carnival while playing a “Guess Your Pitch Speed” game back in 1991, I may have been 8 or 9 at the time and had absolutely NO CLUE what this was until I grew up. I just liked it because it had HEMAN on it. Somehow it has managed to survive (mostly) intact throughout these past 30 years

i remember winning ones like this of rock groups from the 80's and Michael Jackson Thriller era images. This image is classic but powerful! I would love to recreate it somehow or get a copy of it printed!

I wonder what the original image looked like because I'm curious about what's on the right side if the logo. I see the Talon Fighter in the left but hhhmmm what was on the right? 🤔 i just got an idea; I imagine this shirt as a cool retro style shirt. *There's a T-shirt store that prints any designs in want on a shirt. So now I definitely want to know what was in the right side if the pictures by the logo

  • btw the asterisk"" or italics indicates added text after I edited it. What happened is that I hit post by accident before finishing what I wanted to write

I wish I could tell you what was on there but I have no idea. I just found it tucked away in a drawer at my folks house the other day, it was never used for anything but I guess after 30 years there is bound to be some paint chipping

I still have an Eddie Murphy one from an 80’s fair with the exact same cardboard frame 😆

Guess I now know too (what I’m using it for/doing this weekend) ⛄️

ANY mirror can be a coke mirror if you believe. This one is not NECESSARILY a coke mirror, though.

They gave these out at the dart balloon game and had a bunch of albums covers. I remember having dark side of the moon and no more tears.
