HA, the OP dropped the ball on this one.

Skate Mental has more quality graphics than most companies & Numbers literally has one series of boards out and it's super average if anything. Revive does suck though.



The real answer is this shit:

I dunno if the worst, but Creature graphics are pretty damn bad. I'd like to support them but the graphics are just too damn lame and tacky for me.

I'd say current Plan B and Element are pretty awful as well.

Most of the stuff from NHS is ugly as fuck. Though I do love OG Jim Philips Santa Cruz stuff. The creature logo is cool, but their graphics have gone down hill tremendously in recent years. Flip graphics are the worst, aside from a few of the Lance Mountain decks (can't get down with that doughboy cartoon).

Maybe just cause I'm older, but I feel like most companies' graphics suck right now.

Agree the mountain decks are usually good but I'm down with the doughboy...it's just a rip of of preston blair animation but his at least schralps. The doughboy paintings he does are sick in person SoCal skateshop had a huge one in their second room that was legit.

I think Real has the most consistently awful graphics, which is a shame because DLX rules, their team is insane, and they used to have amazing art direction.
Basically any company that constantly runs logo boards is bland as fuck: Real, Element, Plan B, Flip, NHS companies, Primitive, etc.

Revive shouldn't even be acknowledged as a real company ::)

Actually, I just looked at their website and Revive's graphics aren't as bad as they used to be. Still suck, but less shitty in quality (fewer obvious design flaws, don't look like Schrock made them himself using illustrator).

Still scratching my head why kids buy those decks. Like, when I was a young man (9yo), I remember walking into the skateshop for the first time and drooling over the Tony Hawk full skull deck. It looked like a real skateboard to me. I didn't want to buy a deck that looked like it was for little kids.

Revive appears to have started ripping off AWS/Habitat from 10-15 years ago so they're slowly plagiarizing their way to better graphics.

There are a couple rip-offs in their catalog that aren't as terrible, but it doesn't fully makeup for the rest of their shitty graphics. I got secondhand embarrassment when I saw this Minecraft board.

In an old thread, about this same topic, I pointed out a real catalog with something like 20+ new graphics for a season. That's a lot of work. I think real probably puts out more original graphics than any other brand. They can't all be gems, but for each run they do have a fair amount of decent graphics.

Plan B has been phoning it in since they've restarted. I went to the park 2 days after christmas and was shocked by they number of kids riding fresh 18 boards (to be fair I saw 3 Joslin decks, so i was kind of stoked). My understanding is that most of there graphics are outsourced to some art studio that just churns out graphics for large brands.

Im really confuse right now. So Joslin is on the 18, confirmed ?!  ::)

And to me is really pathetic how much people wrote and even post photos of Revive. I dont mind at all about them and I dont get why Slap does. Anyway about LE I liked that Hey Trapasso board and that series with Nick Toons in general and thats pretty much what I can recall about that company.

I dont like Blood Wizard at all but hey, thats just me.
