new trucks to canadian winter is an ender ender

[BootsWithTheFerg]

More of a random thought but probably controversial

Jose rojo did one of the best kickflips maybe ever. 43 seconds into his bag of sucks part. Like a video game double jumps it's kinda fucked how floaty it is. Slept on guy and part.

Indy should have kept the cross their logos are too plain and boring without that insignia

I like the indy silhouette, maybe aces look marginally cooler but I think indys design is pretty top tier as far as trucks go

i don't want or need to see the iron cross logo again, but i do find it odd that they abandoned the circular nature of the old logo. i feel like that was a solid chunk of their visual identity.

from the jenkem article where they had people redesign the logo


obviously you couldn't just steal the old lucky logo and a four leaf clover wouldn't really make any sense, but it does a good job echoing old indy without being an iron cross


just my thoughts on the old/new logo situation.

new feels nice when cruising but flat ground is another story

Whoah missed that.

They run the Spade sometimes… why not put that on the truck.  Or the sideways diamond. 

I hate the shiny flat, no-logo metal on the baseplate.  Makes em look cheap.

Put an imprint on them, or something.

In the 2000痴, the Indy cross logo tees were worn by non-skaters as much as the Thrasher logo is today. If not more. In a few years we値l have another round of satanic panic and Thrasher will need a rebrand.

They still use the cross , if you buy bushings or hardwear from independent they still on the packaging. Bearings too.. wax

yes, when i worked at a shop we had some bushings with the cross, some with the new diamond logo, same goes for hardware.

Really stirring the pot with this one.

I can sympathize with it though, the trucks do look worse. But most brands don't have anything on that spot of the truck. With time I'm sure it will be fine.

I'm not sure the sideways diamond would look great there.

That痴 what she said

[apport]

that indy flower logo is horrible

[jgonzalez]

The only skate cross I pray to 🙏


Edit: might as well add an unpopular opinion: pig wheels logo kinda goes harder than spitfire big head. (I知 a loyal f4 skater tho)

I think it値l be back in 10 years or 5 years when people are nostalgic for it. I still wear my old indie hoodie and I値l never get rid of it cuz I had it a long time and it痴 comfortable, said fuck the rest on the back

it's one of the coolest logos in skateboarding, for sure. definitely the best logo from the tum yeto camp.
