I really love limosine’s graphics. Sometimes they have some bad ones in every drop, but also they have amazing ones too. I also think quasi has just gotten bad over the time, im not sure what it is but i kind of loss my taste for quasi nowadays. Frog is fucked like always.. just ridiculous but thats what is amazing about them. I love anti-hero usually, i always get a laugh from todd francis
-
I voted for Real because a.) I’m a contrarian little piece of shit & b.) I don’t know what to say… I just love ovals.
All ovals.
Any ovals.
Ovals, ovals, all day long.
To paraphrase Mikey Alfred, “There’s something powerful, anlmost iconic, about [an oval].” ::)

Thanks. Could probably throw Metal on there too.
-
Sour really needs to be on here so nobody can vote for it.
-
I’m voting for Zorlac as a write-in
-
Rollers California
-
TKF without a doubt.
-
Voted Sci fi but quasi and limo are close.
-

I think you wanted to say Jart, Blind, or Plan B
-
No pass-port tho?
-
Personally I voted for Hockey but I honestly kinda digging the sci fi fantasy decks. I'm not a person into a lot of color but I could see myself riding one, specifically the Eternal Recurrence board.
-
you shoulve split hockey/fa
i hate fa graphics, like hockey graphics
-
Any chance to add some brands?
-
Where is the Killing Floor again???
I'll go with Metal.
That is the correct answer.
Edit: You should put the names in alphabetical order also. (found TKF at the bottom)...

whre the fuck is king skateboards

This. The gimmicky boards like Aidan’s hologram cop deck and the chrome/other reflective decks are cool but a lot of is just too artsy New Yorker.
Quasi you’d be pretty hard pressed to find a really bad graphic from them in my opinion and they’re really distinctive.
-
The Killing Floor. Wall hanger galore!
-
Primitive
-
you'd be hard pressed to find any board company that's been around for years that has never released any questionable/lame graphics (Quasi "Breath In Your Farts" deck comes to mind).
that being said, i voted krooked because they always seem to stay in their lane and not veer too far off from a successful Gonz artwork formula (excluding guest artists/graphics, etc). also, the Barbee boards are always so beautiful.

Welcome

Hate it or love it, FA/Hockey make really cool looking graphics.

FA/Hockey and Magenta
i love Quasi but they've been really hit n miss lately

Passport

Earsnot

Evisen, not on the list tho. I voted Hockey. I love Hockey graphics specially the Kevin Rodrigues ones. I also like Baker, GX1000, Heroin, Snack and Five Boro graphics sometimes.
-
Voted The Killing Floor but here are some honorable mentions:
There/Unity
Passport
Magenta
Krooked
Antihero & Real suck ass. DGK also. Used to absolutely love Toy Machine but they’ve been rather shit for years. Uninspired and too polished. Dunno if it’s because of all the computer shit Ed uses nowadays. Black Label is hit/miss. Some are really fucking good and some are quite fucking bad.
-
voted Anti Hero, just love the Todd Francis' art
Hockey graphics also appeal to me as well the sick Heroin and Metal ones
-
-
StrangeLove
This would be my answer, nostalgic and very clean
Metal is off to a good start, I even like their logo/team boards up on their site at the moment
Interesting poll, needs more options tho
-
Killing Floor and Alltimers. Big fan.
-
western edition
This.
End thread.
-
Shane on whoever made this post by not putting Darkroom.
-
Welcome isn’t core but I love their graphics. One of the few brands where I haven’t seen a single deck and went “eww, fuck”.
Contrast that with Polar, who will put out some amazing art then drop graphics that look like someone drew them while holding a crayon with their asshole.
-
Pass-Port all day!
-
The Killing Floor, Passport & Sci-Fi
-
the GOAT is always Krooked
but always love a AH, Palace, Polar, Hockey, and Pass~Port graphic usually too.
Someone should also add "your local skate shop" my childhood shop Pitcrew had really good ones in their heyday and even collabed with Krooked a few times

This KRod board is the one that made me vote Hockey.

I'm not surprised I'm the only Violet vote.
It's early.
I was going to vote TOA or Glue but I'm heavily compelled to vote earsnot.
Black and purple has almost always been my jam.
I back the earsnot too tho I dislike most of the styles from that era of NYC graffiti.
It's like from 99-2005 everyone was on some recycled shitty style then they bedazzled their throw ups with every 70s single colour embellishment they ever saw. In a book ...
Just a total mess.
A bunch of people are doing that with their pieces now. On some bunk ass 70s remival styles.
Broadway Elegant remival to the ole double bubble crayon trouble I can't draw 3d.
3d that layers on the next letter like a 5 year old drew it. Puke puke puke.
Be yourself when you write....
I always wanted a pink 917. I just never had the chance.
Black Label was also instinctual. The label is the look to me. John is the beez knees.
-
It’s hard to pick just one.
It’s cool that some companies like Polar, Krooked, and Palace do some great graphics and also put out some of the worst graphics.
I liked Isle, and Passport graphics are solid all around.

Nah, Sour wasn't on the list at the time. Sour seems to have received a pass because the team and videos are absolute top tier. But the graphics, with a few exceptions, ...

Yeah. Kevin Rodrigues usually gets the best ones. My favorite Hockey graphic is the Kadow Metal Mask one for the same reason; it’s from a movie I like… Demons (1985). I’ve always been hoping for more Italo Horror or Giallo references from Benny Maglinao, but that’s been it so far.

I voted Passport. Best range of graphics while staying consistent and fresh. I’m a big fan of the colors for the more whimsical, illustration graphics and the use of the bottom ply, which you almost never see other companies using brown, for the decorative graphics.
My other top picks are Krooked, Carpet, Polar, Girl, Chocolate, and Alien.

Interesting quasi is #1, sci fi #2, anti hero #3

90% of magenta boards use a brown ply
