Neither have I. I would have avoided that gum. 
“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969
Me threeither.
Very relevant time frame as well. Seems everything was called Zodiac.
"… Who will chew me?"
“I don’t know Chief, he’s very smart or very dumb.“
Nice find!
Goes to show, yet again, how common the theme was around that time. Age of Aquarius and so forth.
He really could have picked it up anywhere – and using it as a moniker was undoubtedly very much in the spirit of the times. From a certain point of view it’s tempting to think he did it on purpose – as a conscious "branding" move. I’m not sure about that, though. It’s equally possible that it just dropped into his lap, as it were, precisely because it was so common.
True, but you have to admit the symbol and the watch together is intriguing…and kind of a cheesy copy if intended.

It’s no doubt cheesy – but I’m not sure how sophisticated our boy was. Perhaps he just figured it was cool. I keep getting back to one of the first impressions I got from reading Z’s letters: That he appeared immature. In a certain sense, that is. I don’t know if I can explain it properly – it’s not black and white. He isn’t 100% immature or childish – but there is an element of that there. Someone who gets a childish kick out of scaring people, using various props and effects to this end.
The moniker and the symbol cold be regarded in that light too: They’re prop-ish too, stuff he picked up from here and there and figured would serve him in his…whatever it is: Game? More game than quest, I think.
Pomphit pomphit..
