Per Blockhead Skateboards:
The August 1990 Blockhead ad read “Why is Omar Hassan pro at 16? Hmm... I wonder... The ad featured Omar’s first graphics, the “Magic Carpet”, Omar was also featured on the cover. Omar’s insane antics at the Blockhead Ramp while filming for Splendid Eye Torture cemented the decision to turn him pro at such a young age and as you all know, things worked out just fine.
The Magic Carpet graphics were inked by Ron Cameron and pays tribute to Omar’s heritage, there were two other renditions of the Magic Carpet in a diamond and oval shape...but the rectangle was the first one.
