Description[edit]

Cartoon-like image of a radio tower broadcasting and a skull wearing headphones and a blue eye patch with white star, speaking in to a microphione at the lower-left. The title "Pirate Radio USA" is across the top in cartoon-like white letters on a black background — as if they were cut from a cartoon newspaper. There is a blue star to the left and a red star to the right of the title. The radio waves are shown as red and white angular circles eminating from the top of the radio tower. At the very top are three "winner" awards from film festivals. Along the bottom are reviews showing; "wicked funny" -filmfestivals.com, "compelling" -monday magazine, "a must see" -the daily texan.
