Sinclair Oil

Sinclair’s advertising writers first had the idea to use dinosaurs in Sinclair marketing back in 1930.

Dino (pronounced DYE-NO) became so popular that Sinclair registered him as a trademark in 1932.

Dino first appeared as a balloon in The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1963 and quickly became an annual fan favorite – so popular that in 1975, he was named an Honorary Member of the Museum of Natural History.
