The Los Angeles radio station 95.5 KLOS had several buttons made in the 1970s and 1980s featuring band names inside their distinctive rainbow logo.

Cheap Trick is an American rock band formed in Chicago, IL, in 1973. They released their first full-length, self-titled album in 1977. The band is known for its distinctive visual image and stage presence, which includes the frequent use of Hamer five-neck guitars by the group’s quirky front-man Rick Nielsen. Their second album, released later the same year, was perhaps their biggest success and featured songs “I Want You to Want Me” and “Hello There.”
