The fork was immortalized at Hard Rock Calling, a 3-day music fest in London’s Hyde Park featuring Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Pearl Jam and Sir Paul McCartney.

It became a permanent fixture in Times Square, NYC.

Here's the fork in Times Square, ready for its close up.

You may have choked on the fumes of a bus sporting the fork in any number of cities around the world.

The fork became a global brand icon.
This started as a single ad and evolved into a global icon for the Hard Rock brand, wordlessly summing up the idea of a rock ’n’ roll restaurant. It’s been spotted everywhere from England to Italy, Poland, China and beyond. In the U.S., Hard Rock embraced it so fully, they put it up on a permanent revolving sign in Times Square, above their flagship NYC cafe in the historic Paramount Theater.
