A play on words using the wild style logo

Wild Style as you know  was directed by Charlie Ahearn 
and featured Fab Five Freddy Lee Quinones The Rock Steady Crew
The Cold Crush Bro, and Grandmaster Flash. The protagonist "Zoro" 
is played by the legendary New York graffiti artist "Lee" George Quinones. 
An early version of the 'Wild Style' logo appeared in the Fall of 1981 
when Charlie Ahearn hired graffiti legend Dondi to paint the 'window down' subway car piece that appears in the film The Dondi piece was the 
inspiration for the animated title sequence designed by the artist 
Zephyr in 1982 . The 'Wild Style' logo was designed by Zephyr and 
painted as a huge 'burner' mural by Zephyr, Revolt, and Sharp in 
the Summer of 1983
