I recently got a nice blue jean jacket from a thrift shop that has a logo embroidered on the back. The name "Zapatoni" is on the bottom and the logo has what looks like a factory with some smoke swirls coming out of a smokestack.

I've tried Googling the name and all I come up with is an advertising agency that tried a controversial internet campaign this past Christmas regarding PS2 (Playstation 2).

Does anyone know what Zapatoni or the logo refer to??? Is it a rock band???

sorry, I googled and yahooed and did not come up with anything more enlightening than what you already know.....
interesting...

I googled it also and that was what I found,that a man by the name of Zapatoni created the blog for Sony.
Thats about it.

Thank you both for your attempts at helping, Angel and ZOO. I've made a stupid goof. The name on the back of the jacket is Zipatoni not Zapatoni. I realized this as I was getting ready to take a picture to link to.

I have tried E-bay under 'clothing' to see if I could find any listings that might shed light of what I've got. I just hope it's not anything controversial.

Here is a photobucket link to a picture of this emblem.

When I typed in Zapatoni it took me to Zipatoni. There was something about Hoover vaccums,marketing,...

It took me here:
