The 1985 Mellon Bank Button Set:




Storyline 1985:

In 1985, Mellon Bank's second year as sponsers of the button
program, the design was simplified to the game slogan and the
traditional bank logo and name at the bottom of the button.

The large white stripe which dominated the button in 1984,
mercifully lasted only one year!

Also, the bowl button (which had been white since 1975) was now blue.
