I'm torn between 80s album/single art and 80's shop carpet.

C&A? WH Smiths? British Home Stores?

movingwiththelightson · 31/05/2019 22:59

My first thoughts were rugrats, zzzap or fun house

Very 80s or 90s vibe from it!

Wasn't it in the beginning sequence of Top of the Pops?

LizzieSiddal · 31/05/2019 23:00

I’m sure it’s from a book cover. Tracy Beaker/Jaqueline Wilson springs to mind. Dds had them all.

TrixieFranklin · 31/05/2019 23:01

I was pretty sure it was on the credits for Arthur (the cartoon) but it's not, similar patterns but not that one!

0hT00dles · 31/05/2019 23:01

Saved by the bell was what i was thinking! Was otherwise thinking gruesome!!

SomethingAboutNothing · 31/05/2019 23:04

MintCassis I thought of dream phone as well, maybe the back of the board or something, but Google doesn't bring anything up. It is definitely very familiar.

LoafofSellotape · 31/05/2019 23:05

My first thought was Smash Hits!

PissOffPeppa · 31/05/2019 23:06

Aside from being from that skateboard, I’m pretty sure it’s nothing in particular. It’s just a very common pattern from the 80s/90s with lots of other things that look similar. That’s why we all think it’s so familiar. It’s just a generic pattern that’s very of its time.

wollaballoo · 31/05/2019 23:06

It's from Rugrats. The background of Cynthia doll.

MyShinyWhiteTeeth · 31/05/2019 23:07

I think it's the background used for a 'smash hits'like teen music magazine - 'Number one /No1'. I think they used it for pull out poster backgrounds.

I had some of the posters on my wall.

WheresAllTheGoodInTheWorld · 31/05/2019 23:09

Something makes me think fresh Prince of bel air. Or Cosby show.

scarecrowhead · 31/05/2019 23:09

Bus seat pattern

jarhead123 · 31/05/2019 23:09

Rocko’s modern life?

BuffySummerss · 31/05/2019 23:10

Dream phone!

jessicawessica · 31/05/2019 23:11

I think it's an album cover. Something with Duran Duran and Haircut 100.

Agree

Hadenoughofitall441 · 31/05/2019 23:14

Looks like saved by the bell credits or theme

moonrises · 31/05/2019 23:15

I'm with pissoff I think it is the style that is familiar rather than the actual pattern.

thistimeofyear · 31/05/2019 23:16

I actually quite like that jacket! :)

SimulationTheorist · 31/05/2019 23:17

It's not Saved by the Bell.

It's not DreamPhone, though similar.

It makes me think of a mug with an Easter egg in.

faggorts · 31/05/2019 23:20
