Looks a bit Wassily Kandinsky-esque.

Reminds me of my German gcse text book from the early-mid 90s. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though!

Tracey Beaker? Keenan and Kell. Olson Twins

I think it’s just a really familiar pattern. At first I thought saved by the bell but if you google ‘80s pattern’ loads of similar patterns come up and if you’d posted any one of them, I’d of thought I knew it from somewhere.

Fun fax

The style is Memphis print!

why did you want to know twotome?
Is it to solve some deadly crime...?

babysharkah · 31/05/2019 23:27

Ooh, wide awake club graphics might be an option, or the begging of fun house?!

Answer on this thread

First thought was something from Duran Duran but now I'm convinced it's from a single or 12 inch or album from 80's Bowie - where he's boxing on the front.

I'm off to google

mabelisable · 31/05/2019 23:30

I'm sure it's from the cover of a 12" single if something. I've still got all mine and I'm going to look in the morning. Is it Princess?

DailyMaui · 31/05/2019 23:31

COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG!

stumped

lastkisstoo · 31/05/2019 23:31

Smash Hits?

RomanyQueen1 · 31/05/2019 23:31

It reminds me of a singles cover, can't think which though.

mabelisable · 31/05/2019 23:35

Is it Spandau Ballet 'True' sleeve?

AdaShelby · 31/05/2019 23:37

Rug rats surely

Twotome · 31/05/2019 23:40

I know it’s not in the credits, but I still just think of Saved by the Bell every time I see it. Maybe it’s in the actual episodes when they change scenes or go on advert?

Itsa Bitsa?

It's been on a few things, lots of things looked like this. God I hate the patterns of the eighties and nineties.

RomanyQueen1 · 31/05/2019 23:50

Completely off topic but look at these.

@fattymumslim19 I thought wallpaper too.. I'm sure I had a duvet cover like this when I was about 9 years old and a matching wallpaper border.. I think it's a generic popular print from the 80's, hence why it's also on a skateboard!

Bluejeantreefrog · 31/05/2019 23:52

Its familiar I think on an 80's album cover?

Whitefishy · 31/05/2019 23:54

I thought rugrats initially but whoever said smash hits that rings a bell too! I feel like it was the border on a book or an album. Sweet valley high books maybe?

RomanyQueen1 · 01/06/2019 00:00

It would be interesting if somebody could remember what they actually saw, or if it was something from a screen, huge advert, or something tangible.
It seems so familiar and I think I saw it, rather than held it, but could be wrong arghhhhh.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 01/06/2019 00:06

I think it seem familiar to a lot of people because this kind of geometric pattern was popular in the 90's.

RomanyQueen1 thank you for that link! Taken back to my misspent youth hanging around record stores!

Other than that, wish I'd never clicked on this thread; that image is infuriatingly familiar!! Grin
