To truly make a name for themselves, the Hard Rock Cafe had to have a logo. Created by celebrity artist Alan Aldridge , primarily known for his work with The Beatles, the Hard Rock Cafe logo soon became an even bigger hit when it was plastered on a t-shirt by accident! Today this famous t-shirt is sold at every cafe location, allowing the history of the Hard Rock Cafe to live on forever. Now, what good is a Hard Rock location without live music?
Following this release, everyone knew that the Hard Rock Cafe was the place where rock stars and regular diners could enjoy a meal and some music together. Since he regularly dined at the Hard Rock Cafe, he asked for his guitar to be hung above his bar stool to save his spot. And this was the start of the famous Memorabilia at all Hard Rock locations.

Pretty soon, a separate register just for merchandise was put in, simply because so many people were wandering in off the street for the sole purpose of buying a t-shirt.
Today, of course, those iconic white shirts are just the tip of Hard Rock Cafe's merchandise iceberg, and guests can grab everything from swimsuits to backpacks and face masks. Besides buying a t-shirt or chowing down on a burger, one of the restaurant's biggest draws is its collection of music memorabilia. Visitors at every location can gaze up at the walls and see iconic instruments, clothing, and handwritten lyrics from music's biggest stars of past and present.
Just like the brand's now incredibly successful merchandise department, this was not a strategic marketing plan dreamed up by Morton and Tigrett. It was totally a lucky break thanks to British guitar legend Eric Clapton. Clapton was a regular at the London restaurant and sent the owners one of his guitars to be placed over his favorite barstool via Nava. Not to be outdone, The Who guitarist Pete Townsend sent a guitar a week later with a note reading: "Mine's as good as his!
Love, Pete" From there, things just snowballed, and one musician after another began donating pieces from their personal collections. According to Tigrett, only around 50 percent of Hard Rock Cafe's memorabilia is donated, and the rest of it is purchased from various auctions or collections.
Much of the collection has obviously appreciated in value since then, and the collection today has ballooned to over 80, items.

The burger is pretty much a universal food these days, and Hard Rock Cafe wanted to pay homage to the various burger flavors from around the globe with its annual World Burger Tour. During these promotions, customers could order burgers that captured different flavors from around the globe.
Because why enjoy a plain old cheeseburger when you can dine on a Tandoori Chicken Burger made with aromatic Indian spices and topped with mint mayonnaise? The international burger flavors varied from year to year, so guests never knew what they were going to get. For example, had burgers such as the Date Burger, a beef patty that drew inspiration from the United Arab Emirates and was topped with diced dates and date chutney. And for fans who love burgers and have the cash to throw down, the chain offered an actual burger world tour package.
Besides "unlimited access" to all of these burgers, the vacation included first-class hotel accommodations at Hard Rock locations around the globe. While it doesn't look like the World Burger Tour has been around for the past few years, we can always hope it comes back.
