I'm not a skate mental fan but I actually like that graphic.
My vote goes to almost
-
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:

Flip
Plan B

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.

NHS boards are great. Element is the worst

Nothing will ever top Revive in terms of shitness.

Darkstar, Creature, Plan B, Real, Element, Revive
Deathwish were shit for awhile when they went through that crappy cartoon phase

Nothing will ever top Revive in terms of shitness.

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.

It's definitely a ton of work, and they have a huge team, but quality over quantity is key. For every nice series they have, there are four really bland or just straight up bad ones.

I wouldn't really say they do to many graphics for DLX I looked at the products they made for board brands and Antihero and real each only had one series done by them.

Anything FA has ever done. The actual human photos and embossed FA boards... Doesn't get much worse than that...

Tracer, thanks for the Rollerbladers opinion.
Anyway, the right answer is that godawful Pizza Skateboards. That's one of the most thoroughly shitty companies EVER.

This shit is cool maybe if you're 12. Actually I don't think I would have liked it even back when I was 12.

With Creature, I think it really depends on the pro/shape. For instance, I've never seen a Navarrette board I didn't like. Kimbel, Hitz (especially the SHED and LARB decks) are usually pretty sick. Usually not that into the Ryan Reyes and Gravette graphics, but I skate big decks anyway, so it don't matter. I really liked the Venom Stitches series that came out last year and those silver Funeral French decks were bitchin. Still prolly one of my favorite companies, but I can get why some people don't like it.

I bought a Roger deck in high school and I remember it came with a little piece of paper that you could draw on and mail in for either a chance to be featured on the website or maybe even a graphic (don't remember). Thought it was a cool idea.

I had the oringinal hippie skull board. I'm 25 and still think it's dope gets kinda stale after like 3 hippie skull boards though
Gravette has always been one of my favorites
-
I like skate mental decks but the graphics have this consolidated knock off feel, cause of how consolidated was the bully company
I like the basic logo graphics, but true on a lot of these brands. Idk what happened. 7-10 years ago graphics were awesome on any brand and all of a sudden everyone's out of ideas and lacking appeal so hard. I especially hate all the weed graphics or naked girl stuff, it's like okay it worked once for one company don't over do it like a one hit wonder joke

15 years behind the times is standard trend delay for Christian Rock/Country.

Zero and Creature hands down. Zero had cool graphics like 15+ years ago though.

Do half naked chicks move product? I buy hookups, but it's more of a anime thing, rather than a nudity thing. I wish that Henry Jones collection was with a team I cared about. but as long as Wes Kremer is sk8mafia4life I hope they are successful forever!
nobody's said DGK yet, although I could see myself riding one of their regular logo boards, but these are all typical offenders.

Pizza skateboards started off awesome, but I was rapping with someone the other day and we both agreed that the graphics are getting stale in that knock-off type of way. Its rad to do it every now and then, but every deck that comes out is just a parody. S/O connor. The shapes are good though....and PS stix wood. Would bang 6/10.

But generally Creature graphics are fucking terrible and I haven't seen any of the more tolerable ones around here, so I haven't bought a Creature board even though I like their team and vibe.

I think Real just puts out a lot of boards. They make some good graphics, but not every one can be a hit. People have different tastes. I d think they put out way too many boards based on the oval logo. But, if they are selling, why not?

Worst graphics: Anything and everything Plan B, Element, Darkstar.
-
was never that into think skateboards, loved the skaters but hated the graphics, they reminded me of a crappy ska band. and then before the company ended they got into whole-foods-labeling-as-graphics, which i didn't like either
speaking of habitat, i also didnt like that era a few years back where they got a tattoo artist to do graphics. i understand the thinking there but everything that dude made sucked. glad they're back doing more classic looking stuff.

The sk8 mafia/Henry jones series is pretty awesome. I also really like the Kramer/Kremer and Larry David one offs. If they stepped away from the cartoon graphics I'd pick up mafia decks. Would love to put some money in Wes, Jamie Palamore and Tyler Surrey's pockets.

I really wish board brands had the balls to stick with a graphic for longer than 3 months. Even brands I like pump out way too many graphics each year for my tastes. Maybe take the time to create a graphic that is good instead of good enough or on trend?

Pocket Pistols, specifically the Pedro Barros models. I know 101 and SMA both re-issued the Natas "Oops/Boom" deck, perhaps without Natas's participation, but does Pedro Barros have any connection to the graphic? Also, their Bowie copy of the copy seemed only to cheapen the original and recent re-issue.

$80 for a deck with a fucking, Craigslist ad...WKND is kind of bland to me, but at least their decks are around $50.
Also, why isn't there isn't any love for The Killing Floor and Politic?

When I'm at the skateshop aka my Palace it's all about Politics for me because on one hand there are some Real bad ones and then some Quasi bad ones but all in all I think they're mostly all Fucking Awesome as long as the shape and wheelbase are good and not too Krooked and perhaps in the sale Isle. Every now and again I see some decks that are way out of my Element and I think they should have gone with Plan B and fired they're art director but hey, i'm a bit bi-Polar and don't Enjoi everything

ultimately purchased a 6pk of bign'tall tighty whities.

When I'm at the skateshop aka my Palace it's all about Politics for me because on one hand there are some Real bad ones and then some Quasi bad ones but all in all I think they're mostly all Fucking Awesome as long as the shape and wheelbase are good and not too Krooked and perhaps in the sale Isle. Every now and again I see some decks that are way out of my Element and I think they should have gone with Plan B and fired they're art director but hey, i'm a bit bi-Polar and don't Enjoi everything
I hate to be "Spitfire Wheels" about this post, but it really stuck a "Hockey" in my "Birdhouse Projects" and it makes me feel more than a little "Bones Reds Bearing".
I'm really sorry if that isn't funny guys, it was when I started typing it.

Funnier than another goddamn pun thread.

Every company that is not Alltimers, Quasi, FA, Polar, Isle, Pass-Port, Doom Sayers, Lewis Cruise, Anti Hero, WKND. I may have left a couple great ones out?
$80 for a deck with a fucking, Craigslist ad...WKND is kind of bland to me, but at least their decks are around $50.
Also, why isn't there isn't any love for The Killing Floor and Politic?
edit: Where's the new Fabo Les catalog?
$80???!
For this hipster bullshit? No thanks.
$80 CDN I'm pretty sure, which is roughly $60 USD. Its kinda just meant to be funny, i have seen some pretty sick graphics from lewis cruise before.

I think Real is the worst.
Like, really awful shit.
I thought Real sucked ass for a really long time but their graphics have definitely been on point lately

I'm riding this exact board right now its great. I like these graphics where the actual graphic is just in the middle of the board. I like WKND a lot because their logo boards are like this. It gets scratched up anyway so I don't mind. Can't stand those Plan B graphics though.

I really wish board brands had the balls to stick with a graphic for longer than 3 months. Even brands I like pump out way too many graphics each year for my tastes. Maybe take the time to create a graphic that is good instead of good enough or on trend?
THIS ^^^
ditto, i feel the same way about shoe colorways

Ditto, that Mazzy Star board is one of my favorite ever. But square graphics in the middle of the board are where it's at

DGK just because it isn't my thing. Great skaters though

As long as the bottom of the board is stained a nice color with natural wood they can put whatever the fuck they want in the middle. I'll accept a fully painted bottom only if the graphic stays between the trucks and there's not more than a few colors. If the graphic is too complicated (think creature) then my flip tricks are off balance and I can't land shit.

please be sarcastic

The real question is, what companies have good graphics? 95% of graphics out there suck nowadays along with the ridiculous looking trendy designs of modern skate shoes all across the board.

I don't think you're looking very hard if you honestly think that
