Wow, I was going to say this was a stupid thread but Zero actually came out after Toy Story.  And while there was a Zero commercial in Welcome To Hell, the skull logo was not used at all.  I am intrigued.

I think it's obvious who is to blame....

You'll have to skip over alot of crap, but this recent thread had a discussion of where the Zero logos are from ->

Interestingly shit-for-brains pointed out that Jimbo Jones (simpsons) (http://everythingsimpsons.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/elltalehead.png) wears the same shirt as Sid from toy story. which never clicked with me despite being a big simpsons fan. Maybe thats the genesis of the black-skull-tshirt...?

Edit: Oh here it is straight from the man himself ->

The OG skull was intended to be a one off t-shirt, not our main logo. People seemed to like it because it was so different than what was out there at the time, so we kept it going. I was never in love with it, so we did the blood version in the early 2000's.

The OG ZERO Army sweatshirt logo was influence by the US ARMY sweatshirt/t shirt, hence the name, ZERO Army. It was made in December 1995. The sweatshirt came out before the Smashing Pumpkins dude wore the shirt and before they were on the cover of Rolling stone.

Mystery was used with permission and support from the people involved with the making of 'Detroit Rock City'.
