Pink Dobie

"Pink Dobie" was a pseudonym for Floyd Gillis.

It was derived by combining the name of the English rock band "Pink Floyd" with the name of the lead character in the old American TV sitcom, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis".

Pink Floyd + Dobie Gillis = Floyd Gillis

The "logo image" above is a mash-up of the famous cover art from Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon" album released in 1973 and the face of "Maynard G. Krebs", the beatnik character played by actor Bob Denver in the sitcom that aired on CBS from 1959 to 1963. (Denver later went on to play Gilligan on "Gilligan's Island").

The concept behind this logo-image is: A simple idea filtered through the genius of "Pink Dobie" will be transformed into, ahem, a brilliant work of art. (We’re still waiting for that to happen.)

Dwayne Hickman was the actor who played the title role on "Dobie Gillis". However, I didn"t use his face in the logo-image because Bob Denver’s "beatnik" character is far more whimsical, and immediately identifiable with the TV show.
