Title: Worst board graphics ever?
Post by: radcunt on February 08, 2020, 10:53:28 PM
Get em out, purge the filth, what are the worst graphics ever to grace a board that aren't even worthy of being worn off?  Here's a good start.

The April board with the chrome rose against a purple fade background. Horribly cheap looking. But I’m not sure if April boards actually exist in real life. Maybe they’ve never made a tangible product. No one has ever seen one.

Yeah I’ve definitely seen them at shops and the wild. Kids love Shane and Yuto.

Anything shiny like that Mystery and aforementioned April, Primitive, glittering Blind decks, etc - all very gross. Usually represented by children and adults who have swag for brains.

The John Hill Joker is still globally top 10 for the worst ever but holy shit, that Jart might've just won by a notch or ten.

Plan B graphics are a joke. Look at those freak bobbleheads.

There are so many shit brands out there in this day and age of digital globalism, where any kook from Nebraska can just slop his own ‘pro’ graphic onto Chinese plywood.. Probably an app out there somewhere that uses a facial recognition based algorithm to randomly spit out a board graphic for you with the option to in-app purchase and have the board amazon primed to your doorstep. There is a long list of board brands, old and new, that are simply not worth mentioning or acknowledging.

As far as actual, established, recognizable brands go I will say that I have never seen a Real board that I’ve even kind of liked. How they can still afford Ishod is mindblowing. Any board that has ever had the name t-puds, p-rod, shane, nyjah or chris haslam on it one can assume with 100% certainty the graphic is trash. Also any board with the Shake Junt grip tape is instantly trash regardless of the actual graphic.

i've never understood why people thought the Gator graphic was sweet--for that matter, really any of the original Vision graphics, and that's coming from someone who has the original Mark Gonzales graphic tattooed...although, that "Old Ghost" John Grigley graphic was kind of cool...but fuck, this shit right here is awful:

Surprised you don't like it since Andy Takakjian drew both the first Gonz and Psycho Stick. As for the original Vision graphics, Greg Evans designed the op-art Gator and early text-based decks, as well as the ads. In '84 the first Gator graphic was so popular, 3 of 4 skaters I ever saw had one. In a way, those early graphics saved skateboarding. I kept only one deck from the '80s, a Sims Rocco streetstyler, the graphics comprised only of bold "Rocco" typeface, which I believe was designed by Greg Evans.

The David Gonzalez one is cornier by a margin, but they're definitely still in the same realm of shit. Six-finger PJ has me laughing. They put a Nike shirt on Prod too, gross.

Os89, I'm liking that carpet.

*Let's throw this in the ring. What kind of spring break/Coachella neon circus douchebag would take this board seriously? Click image if you want your eyes to bleed more.

I find a lot of that stuff to be so lame. Oh you misspelled two words in an incoherent setnence. Lets throw that and the kurt vonnegut knock off sketch you did onto a board.

Squiggly lined sketches + stupid words forming a half baked sentence are what composes half of the krooked boards' art at this point. It was cool at first(debatable) but holy shit is it getting played out with the 100+ boards that follow that stupid ass style.

The left ear of the mouse and the way its connected to the 3rd characters head hurts my eyes to look at.

The glasses the nose the hair all are fucked.

I think maybe the mouse sat on his sunglasses or maybe his mice friends (pictured) sat on them in the car.

Surprised you don't like it since Andy Takakjian drew both the first Gonz and Psycho Stick. As for the original Vision graphics, Greg Evans designed the op-art Gator and early text-based decks, as well as the ads. In '84 the first Gator graphic was so popular, 3 of 4 skaters I ever saw had one. In a way, those early graphics saved skateboarding. I kept only one deck from the '80s, a Sims Rocco streetstyler, the graphics comprised only of bold "Rocco" typeface, which I believe was designed by Greg Evans.

Damn, you don't fuck with the classic Jinx Batman deck?

This era of AWS (Photosynthesis, Mosiac) had a defined artistic identity, the moved passed the Alien graphic and having every team member as a different animals helped that identity. The current run of graphics feel like generic team boards with the Alien icon being recycled. It's still better than when they had Dyrdek boards with Monster Energy logos all over them.

And I have this one to add. I loved 1031 in the early teen days, cause they were nearby and I was desperate for anything 'punk'. So I was searching for one graphic they had with a goblin coming out of a toilet, and the phrase BEWARE THE BUTT GOBLIN in bold green text. I honestly had that graphic on a t-shirt and would wear it almost every day to school at age 15 or so... Anyway those were silly & golden days, but I digress. I wanted to post the butt goblin graphic, couldn't find it, and found this shit instead

There are so many shit brands out there in this day and age of digital globalism, where any kook from Nebraska can just slop his own ‘pro’ graphic onto Chinese plywood.. Probably an app out there somewhere that uses a facial recognition based algorithm to randomly spit out a board graphic for you with the option to in-app purchase and have the board amazon primed to your doorstep. There is a long list of board brands, old and new, that are simply not worth mentioning or acknowledging.

As far as actual, established, recognizable brands go I will say that I have never seen a Real board that I’ve even kind of liked. How they can still afford Ishod is mindblowing. Any board that has ever had the name t-puds, p-rod, shane, nyjah or chris haslam on it one can assume with 100% certainty the graphic is trash. Also any board with the Shake Junt grip tape is instantly trash regardless of the actual graphic.

They can still afford Ishod because they sell a lot of boards. Just because you don't like their graphics 1) doesn't mean they don't sell, and 2) doesn't mean everyone else hates their graphics as well. Also, a lot of people buy Real boards because they're DLX and DLX decks are objectively great.

Are you talking about Powell before they rebranded themselves as Powell-Peralta again in like 2009-2010? I would agree that fun era Powell was fucking terrible.

Are you talking about Powell before they rebranded themselves as Powell-Peralta again in like 2009-2010? I would agree that fun era Powell was fucking terrible. Since the renaming they brought back VCJ and he is arguably the greatest skate artist ever in my opinion. So many fucking amazing graphics.

His old stuff is untouchable, but his new stuff? Nowhere close. The design and shading is laszy and uninspired.

The only halfway decent graphic he’s done lately was the Agah. This coming from a guy who has an original Kevin Harris hanging in his house.

I'm triggered by this. Don P's tenure at workshopalongside Castrucci is fucking magical, best art department of that late 90s-early 2000s era by far IMO. Pendleton decks were utterly original at the time and have been endlessly imitated and bitten from ever since. I have 2 on the wall.

Justified anger. Pendleton represents a glorious time in skateboarding, that was lost along the way.

I definitely don't think his graphics should be in discussion of "worst ever".However, while I like that era of Alien, seeing every pro series be some sort of creature or animal over and over again got a bit repetitive. I prefer seeing his art from time to time for different companies.
[close]

This era of AWS (Photosynthesis, Mosiac) had a defined artistic identity, the moved passed the Alien graphic and having every team member as a different animals helped that identity. The current run of graphics feel like generic team boards with the Alien icon being recycled. It's still better than when they had Dyrdek boards with Monster Energy logos all over them.

(https://i.pinimg.com/170x/e9/26/a8/e926a8f96d9d6f94a3824cc87dfe0130.jpg)
I know Dyrdek was trying to save the brand but they really shit the bed with these graphics and bastardized the brand identity.
[close]

Most if not all of those boards were pretty much promo for Monster distributers and such if I remember correctly?

Don Pendleton shouldn't have been brought up in this thread, ever.

It might not be your style but these are done really well. Even the microcosm series are a shitload of work and has characters all over. He has his own style and this is definitely what he's known for.

And of course his creatures will be repeated on decks, that what that Alien Workshop era and style was all about. And ieven if you didn't like it, at least they had a distinctive style and direction. Not like many many other 'companies' that just throw a logo on their board.

After he left Alien went down hill VERY fast. And it hurts to say that. They went with the whole Rob and Big crap, Monster energy decks, Meaty decks, lame collaborations (first Warhol was awesome, after that... sheesh) for the money, understand. But it killed them in the long run.. Alien was gone.

I had the chance to pitch some graphics to them when they restarted.

In my opinion they were great but they got rejected while the abominations like this got made. After that I couldn't take them seriously anymore. I still love AWS but 'those graphics' were a slap in the face.

Who the hell comes up with this?

I couldn't take it seriously.

That Pig board? come on man...

His old stuff is untouchable, but his new stuff? Nowhere close. The design and shading is laszy and uninspired.

The only halfway decent graphic he’s done lately was the Agah. This coming from a guy who has an original Kevin Harris hanging in his house.

80s Powell is the best even though at the time I liked Santa Cruz better cause I was into cartoons over what I saw as more serious art, like the Cab dragon.

I’m taking about this...

Graphics like this are horrible and certainly don’t belong on a popsicle deck.

Powell should just give up on new graphics and just run with the flight logo that is dull but non-offensive.

This whole series was particularly bad (unfortunately, there's more), even for Primitive. They all look corny as shit.

I've never ridden a DGK deck and probably never will but I find something funny and charming about these graphics. Yes they are trash but they are like like trash cinema, objectively bad but still entertaining and enjoyable for some reason.

Just absolutely pathetic. I'd rather have a 4 year olds shitty kindergarten art as a deck graphic. Why did they think this would be funny/interesting? Because McClung starts with a "M", just like Monopoly?  That's actually it, isn't it. That's their joke. Garbage.

 Board graphics these days remind me of that Futurama episode where every good name is taken up so new businesses basically spin a wheel or something (can't remember), ending up with names like "bla56wwhh". Especially all those amazingly awful collage prints companies like Thank You are screening, not even in abstract form are any of those boards decent.

its obvious that some of the 917 graphics are purposely stupid or lazy (GLAM, the casserole) but the brand has some charm and their videos outweigh the hit or miss graphics.

Anything that isn't original artwork tends to lean toward awful. Photos of 2pac, anime copy and pastes, hello kitty, bobs burgers, spongebob, DGK style brand-knockoffs (Reeses, cigarettes, cocoa puffs,  playboy logos, any branded product).

Graphics that tend to be the opposite of this are ones with original artwork by people closely associated with the brand - Templeton, Evan Hecox, Pendleton, Gonz, Castrucci 

Cartoon characters tend to be a sign that the art department has given up.

The April board with the chrome rose against a purple fade background. Horribly cheap looking. But I’m not sure if April boards actually exist in real life. Maybe they’ve never made a tangible product. No one has ever seen one.

Shit, I love April boards. Reminds me of a early 90's Silicon Graphics CGI sizzle reel. And to be honest, that's definitely a style I can fuck with.

When that series was super sick for it's time. I remember skating the Guy board. That's one of the more memorable series burned in my brand from early 90's. If you are not of that era then it might go right over your head.

That bottom one on the looks like these maple graphics I got the ski shop.

I think they were Jason Carney boards or something? The wood had just gone from really really good to total poop. Was he a Born again Christian or something? He had like 2 or 3 angry God looking graphics.

I love sour in terms of skateboarding but some of these are pretty horrendous. Save the one off rip off logos for dgk or the 90s when it was still kinda funny. And baker already did trailer park boys, it was cringey enough then

yeah and i love trailer park boys, but i love it because it's so far removed from my reality. Seeing crossovers like Bubbles on a board, or when someone (maybe Primitive?) did a Pickle Rick board, it's so fucking cringey. You lower the value of both brands, you do not elevate either. Weak

yeah i was in like 4th grade when it came out and every kid was watching it. When the movie was coming out it was a pretty big deal, like it was ruining kids’ minds. Which is what the movie is about too lol. I could be wrong about the boards but i remember those and i’m pretty sure i was in middle school, so the show was still fairly new. My point was basically it was a different time, south park was still some edgy show people were trying to get cancelled and not what your parents watch

Also, does anybody really believe that proper licensing agreements were secured for these decks, prior to using likenesses & names to sell product?
It'd be a shame if somebody's estate, or attorney, were to hear about this series.
Imagine having to ride all of those shit decks yourself, because you can't legally sell they.

EDIT: @pacificskateboards, familiarize yourself with the link function. Ain't nobody wanna expend the effort to copy/paste that shit. Talk about a pile of turd at the end of the rainbow, when you were expecting gold in a pot, or at the very least, a roll of nickels.

Lol bit harsh dude.

Are you going to rat him out or something?

Seriously? As I noted, I can barely be troubled to copy/paste the "trend setter/creator's" addy into a browser; you really think I'm going to take time to report breh?
I'm giving them a well deserved ribbing for shoehorning their questionable goods into the Vinnie Banh thread.

Nah, not really. I just push this thing around so I can be mocked by young skateboard industry barons.

Though, I do wish you’d dedicate as much time to improving your product offerings as you do to denigrating the boards of SLAP with your misspent bravado; might actually have something worth looking at then.

Sean Cliver is behind some of the most iconic graphics of the 90s, a really talented artist, and has been involved in skateboarding for at least 30 years if not 40. I wouldn’t consider them a “hype brand” at all, what does that even mean?

Their concepts may not always be great, but the art is top-notch, not to mention they are usually like 7-10 color hand-screened decks.

We had a local company called sexy lady and I got some boards either for cheap or for free and it's probably the worst graphic/company I've ever ridden. Owner was a good dude though, despite the company.

feel like 8 or so years ago all the series graphics that came out was a low point in skateboarding. Just churning out inoffensive vanilla garbage that could stock middle american mall walls. Pretty embarrassing. Also feel like it's what killed several legacy brands' aesthetic/reputations which few have recovered from.

Paisley's art direction was better but I'm guessing Cliver might have learned a little bit about what he can sell in shops these days and tweaked Strangelove accordingly. On the other hand, if you're gonna make a RotLD Trash graphic at least include the nudity ya know?

The Dunk hype is ridiculous, but Cliver is one of the best to ever do it. He's been killing it since Ray Barbee's Ragdoll in the 80's and put out a ton of the most iconic boards of all time. There are a couple Strangelove graphics I'm on the fence about, but Cliver (and Bratrud/Pendleton) have put out some incredible stuff.

Hot take: the fussy and painstaking process of screen printing graphics kept them somewhat more expensive and specialized and made it so that we didn't get Trump Wall boards of dubious origin and kept people from just throwing Jimi Hendrix and Biggie's images on generic blanks in an effort to make a quick buck.

And here I was thinking it was in reference to the General Lee car from the Dukes of Hazzard (evidenced by the 01 up top) which was, like Evel Knievel & Wade Speyer, known for big air.
But hey, my understanding sure as heck could be wrong, and that flag is distasteful by any standard today, but I wonder if somebody would kindly remind me when the graphic in question was originally released?

I also thought it was a General Lee thing too. Didn't even notice the 01 but that seals it.

Just for some context, in the early 90s, I worked at a movie theater in the NE part of the US and we had a manger there who was a transplant from Maryland. He considered himself southern and so had a tiny Confederate flag in a pen holder on his desk, which was right in front of a pretty small two way mirror at the top of the lobby. That window was to look down and see the lobby real quick just in case there was a robbery or a fight or whatever. You couldn't see through it if the light was of but you could if the light was on. One busy Saturday night, there was a call over the radio for the manager to come down to the lobby. A customer had looked up and peeped the flag. The manager got chewed out in the lobby in front of everyone, had to put the flag away and almost lost his job. People been mad about that flag for a long time.

 That is one of the funniest kids shows out there I am stoked when my son wants to watch that

Candace Gertrude Flynn better have on hell of a top traffic, or maybe TheeThee could pull that extra cost to pull the real start of the show, Candace.

*I call my Wife Candace when Im feeling extra frisky.  She looks strikingly similar.  Our 3 1/2 year old thinks it's absolutely hilarious.

I don't understand the people who think Real makes bad graphics. Nearly all of theirs have been simple, clean, or creative designs. Rarely have I seen a "Thank You"-esque or  "Revive" style  from them.  Sure, most can be middle of the road, but they're hardly the worst.


One of my picks for worst graphics is this, not sure if anyone else thinks so:

Call me crazy, but I actually like the Hot Buns & Hang In There graphics.
I’m aware that this statement may place me squarely in the “bad people” camp, at least by SLAP metrics, but I likes what I likes. No apologies offered.
Also, I’m not bothered by the boring old Oval logo at all, as it was pert much their very 1st logo & they’re at least being consistent, if not bland.
Can’t stand that stacked format they used on the Low Down though, so maybe there’s a seed of redemption in me somewhere after all.

I think it’s cool that with the one-offs especially it seems the rider gets what they want and there isn’t a certain image they need to fit, like in that catalog there were some of the Ramondetta ones I liked. The kitty one is edgy and funny to some extent, the hot buns I just don’t really get. But like I said, not the worst in the business, and these ones not the worst by them, but for a while at least they consistenly made stuff that made me wanna pass even though the company is strong. I was actually specifically looking for a series where they had a bunch of rap quotes from like Biggie and Lil Wayne ”Bitch I’m the bomb like tick, tick” maybe 2010-2012, since I remember that one distinctively as the era where their art direction just reminded me of studying digital media in the early 2000s.

And the oval logo, just something about the font or the word itself looks so unappealing to me, but I realize it’s a personal thing.

It's a funny thing because some whole catalogs I will not even blink twice at from which ever brand from DLX, be it Real, Krooked or Antihero, but others I look through now and think I have over half of those boards just in the one catalog, but I am very much a simple / plain graphics kind of guy too.

When I had a million of the black eagle, I would often spray out the middle just to have an all black board - after all it is the wood I am wanting, not the graphic, but others I realise I have kept purely because the graphic is so rad to me, which also might not be rad to someone else.

This is one to look through as well - damn there are some in there I am not keen on but others I thought were pretty cool.

http://www.realskateboards.com/spring-15-catalog/
Truth be told, my choices are based purely on proximity to a few dimensions that I favor. In point of fact, I don’t care for most of the graphics I have in my “warehouse” (closet) but I keep a couple/few rattle-cans of paint in there as well, so...

I really, really like his skating and style, which makes it so infuriating that they used a really shitty drawing that looks like it took took 4 minutes and a sharpie with afterthought cheap “Japanese-y” references put in afterwards.

The child who drew it has never seen a wave, a surfbord, nor a volcano in their entire life.

It’s complete garbage for such a gifted skater.

That's how I see it, too.
If we are looking at roughly 20-ish years of Real and their graphics, they have had some absolute amazing ones: Huf (delivery one/UPS knock off), the early Thiebaud ones, and the Oval logo is one of the most consistent and inoffensive team boards (even Deathwish's Gang font gets a little mundane after awhile), plus they have done many spin-offs with that logo. See the watermelon one posted above. I regret not buying it, actually. Green is my favorite color, too.

Back on track, everyone has their opinion on graphics and I support whatever that it is. I just wanted to bring up that Real gets a lot of flack for being "meh" in graphics, when a majority of the graphics have not been that offensive. Even the Low Pro series posted above aren't bad. To me, those look pretty good and I don't think they're too busy or too Adobe, either. Again, there's preference and subjectivity to it all. Possibly, some of my original thought could have been posted in the Unpopular Opinion thread haha! Apologies for the slight derailment, but also, good on those who shared the less than desirable graphics from Real in here!

I personally love the new Alltimers decks. Having a minimalistic design is not an inherently bad thing. Additionally Alltimers is kinda known for having funny kitsch graphics. These ones work really well imo.

Plus I'm like 99% sure the minimalism is a reference to a lot of the Ron Allen-drawn H-Street graphics, like the Danny Way Train graphic.

Disagree. Pendelton's a rad artist. I think his style is quite appealing. I prefer his artwork over skulls, monsters, gore, zombies, most bold team logos like girl or creature.

I hate the thrasher skate goat.   Don’t get why it’s an enduring logo or something people want tattooed on them, but then again, wannabe satanist stuff has never been my bag

anything to do with $atan is so boring and played out. it doesn't look badass. i know, unpopular opinion.

Nobody is ever going to top the natas 101 satan board so everything else looks kinda tame in comparison.

LOL yes i love REAL (see my "setup thread" the whole 2020 i only skated Reals) and yes some graphics are very cartoonish but they also make sooo many nice boards.. ya'll just nitpicking while ignoring the dope things they make
[close]

That's how I see it, too.
If we are looking at roughly 20-ish years of Real and their graphics, they have had some absolute amazing ones: Huf (delivery one/UPS knock off), the early Thiebaud ones, and the Oval logo is one of the most consistent and inoffensive team boards (even Deathwish's Gang font gets a little mundane after awhile), plus they have done many spin-offs with that logo. See the watermelon one posted above. I regret not buying it, actually. Green is my favorite color, too.

Back on track, everyone has their opinion on graphics and I support whatever that it is. I just wanted to bring up that Real gets a lot of flack for being "meh" in graphics, when a majority of the graphics have not been that offensive. Even the Low Pro series posted above aren't bad. To me, those look pretty good and I don't think they're too busy or too Adobe, either. Again, there's preference and subjectivity to it all. Possibly, some of my original thought could have been posted in the Unpopular Opinion thread haha! Apologies for the slight derailment, but also, good on those who shared the less than desirable graphics from Real in here!

Also, I don't recall many other graphics from the 2010's being great/memorable.

I've skated since 98 and never once seen a Real graphic that was at all memorable. Sure, they don't directly embarrass themself like some examples in this thread, but I'm pretty sure they could put out nothing but the OG logo and it would be an improvement. At least then you've got a identity

Those Bryte Graphics aren't that bad and you guys are reaching. Sure it's not polar, but they're really just average.

Real use to put out like 20 new graphics a season and half of them were bad. Now they do smaller releases with more carry over. Less bad graphics
I dont think they look that bad, but using that many colors/layers in your standard logo cannot be a good business decision. Although there are probably enough kids buying them that hurting the margins like that doesnt matter.

I like how REAL adds SKATEBOARDS... as if there was any question. they should drop the skateboards and make the REAL wording bigger, maybe use a second color... i dunno. 
I'd hang the penguin graphic on the wall. I like Chima and would skate one of his boards but the penguin graphic seems like more of a wall hanger.
but that's just like my opinion man.

Sorry that this is off topic, but this just reminded me that a couple of days ago I saw someone post on instagram that Greco apparently stole her phone, threatened a bunch of her neighbors, and yelled something about Baker (which is how she figured out who he was). I didn't get a screenshot unfortunately, I wonder if this actually happened/if anyone else heard about it.

Whose phone did he steal

Sorry for the lack of detail, the initial post was a story that has since expired. The most recent thing the person in question (don't feel comfortable identifying her, she's a friend of a friend and not a public figure from what I can tell) wrote was that Greco had blocked her and Joey Sinko was the one who had her phone. The initial post was something along the lines of "Jim Greco threatened me and my neighbors, him and Joey Sinko stole my phone, and they kept yelling 'Baker' which made it easy to figure out who they were". I know that last part sounds like a joke, but it's what she wrote.

My guess is that some kind of altercation happened, this person was filming it and either Greco or Sinko took her phone. That twitter post makes me think it was some kind of fight but who knows. I'll update if I see anything else.

I also like them. I would much rather skate a nature graphic than some drunk demon’s butt drawn by Neckface. Butterflies > Demon Butt.

As an aside, the bio department at my college has a monarch exhibit in one of their greenhouses every year. I wholeheartedly recommend getting baked and hanging out with butterflies.

David Gravette's Psych Ward

My friend had this deck and it was embarrassing to be seen with him. It looks like it's mocking mentally handicapped and disabled people simultaneously.

From Creature: "Featured with a graphic of David Gravette wheelchair-bound, poking fun at his crazy King of the Road antics"

 
How you're supposed to deduce that from the graphic is baffling.

Pretty embarrassing.   I think later that same month he trashed his hotel room in New York City after  the x games high on angel dust. Then Gil Scott heron wrote a song about it all.

You're correct about the Chemtrails deck, I wrongly assumed they were all his graphics. My bad.

I find it hard to believe you can have an "objectively wrong opinion" on art. Powell graphics always looked terrible to me. I was interested if anyone else shared the same sentiment. Evidently not. Out of the OG's dudes, I always loved Lucero's stuff.

Cliver is a good illustrator and has done some nice stuff but also done some dog shit.

it does. if your art is intentionally extremely stupid it doesn't take itself out from being judged the same way than something that isn't trying to be ironic.

i wasn’t saying “ironic” art shouldn’t be judged, just that it’s kind of an obvious thing to post in here, since it’s intentionally ugly and juvenile. like it’s getting the intended reaction. how is that anti-vax though? seems more pro-vax than anything imho. wouldn’t the guy in the “deathwish” tee getting ripped apart by coronavirii more than likely be unvaxxed?

I love Johnny Ryan's comics and artwork (as you can tell by my username and profile pic). But I have to agree that his series for Deathwish was pretty boring and played out. Sure, a lot of his gag panels on instagram contains current events but they are often so absurd that the current event is just backdrop for something else. These lack that typical Johnny Ryan touch and comes off as lazy.

I grew up drawing and was in love with VCJ’s old stuff, Jimbo is a god, and Steve Naazer (classic T&C surf) were my favorites. I didn’t appreciate Lucero until much later.

New VCJ has none of the attention to detail of the originals, he’s just shitting stuff out for Powell, including &&’s deck (which I can’t stand, graphics-wise).

The only Cliver stuff I liked were his illustrations for Big Brother. He’s good, but doesn’t have the natural sense of composition that Jimbo and VCJ had.

being ripped apart is not how this virus works and its just stupid to even make it a topic on your skateboard.
i care about how my boards look. I like blank boards more than this ugly designed bullshit.

no shit it's not how the virus works. it's called artistic license.
that being said the graphic is stupid because it's designed poorly, any other execution of this idea would look better

artistic license my ass. its kind of making fun of how the virus is out there killing people. what else is the point of this cartoon? "we are aware there is a virus outside so I thought yea I might draw smiling viruses ripping apart Jon Dickson " you cant tell if its pro or anti vaxx cause its shows viruses in such a extreme untrue way. plus its ugly as fuck.

Slap users on skateboard graphics that scratch off in a few tricks; “you are a fucking monster and this art is not even funny and rona doesn’t rip people in half”

Can y’all go to therapy and get your emotional issues and fears sorted out so we can go back to shit talking and photo shopping dumb shit?

Oh I’m not defending the little cross on the trucks I think the whole thing is stupid wether you are for or against it staying on… either way it’s gone in 2-3 sessions and never to be seen again. I find extreme humor in anyone that gets worked up about it one way or the other. I also find it ridiculous that you got all nuts about the rona graphic though, because graphics like the little cross on trucks disappears. Do I agree the graphic is dogshit? Yes absolutely. am I tripping about how rona doesn’t tear people in half or how the graphic might be sensitive to people that lost family to rona? No that’s ridiculous.

As far as most pros being dumbasses that dropped out of high school, yeah it’s true. Hell every other day there’s a new thread about how a pro skater between 25 and 45 is doing or saying something unintelligent. Myself, I graduated and have to work for a living and have a far better comprehension of how the world works compared to some guy with a ripped up sabbath shirt shot gunning a beer next to a 15 stair rail screaming “LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO”. Well… I’d like to think so at least.

Not that toy machine have really had many decent graphics for some time but I feel the stuff they make would instantly be many times better if they ditched the computers and went back to hand drawn. Also get rid of solid colour backgrounds and have wood grain. Will still be dumb but at least look less cheap

Agreed. It's kind of gauche considering vaccinated people (like my grandma) are ending up in the ICU. Toy Machine did a similar graphic, but went about it much more tastfully in my opinion:

With context that Numbers graphic is a bit better, but still basically ruined by the weird doodles and highlighting. I kind of wished they put just the stretched out skull without any of the shitty edits to it and called it a day.

I actually like it. i like that they used it horizontal and spread the skull that way. its dadaism but I still like the design.
which leads me to the question:

do you prefer your deck prints vertical or horizontal? (classic real would be horizontal and fa boards vertical) and what's your personal preference for the wood color on top of you board? mine is yellow pink and green. I hate red or no color. completely color dipped decks is also not good imo.

also have to agree on the toy machine boards. if the print was hand painted and the used wood grain background it wouldn't look as cheap. even though those decks are ugly imo.

Reminds me of that South park episode where Randy gets testicular cancer just so he can buy weed.

Both this TM graphic and the South Park episode are (most likely) a reference to the Buster Gonad Viz comic, which is about a guy who has unfeasibly large testicles. And the comic is a well known example of absurdist / surreal humor, it's a stupid idea played completely straight which is kind of the point. Whether or not people like it as a board graphic can be debated.

also have to agree on the toy machine boards. if the print was hand painted and the used wood grain background it wouldn't look as cheap. even though those decks are ugly imo.

no it isn’t

With context that Numbers graphic is a bit better, but still basically ruined by the weird doodles and highlighting.

I actually like it. i like that they used it horizontal and spread the skull that way. its dadaism but I still like the design.

dada isn’t a catch all term for modern art. refers to a place and time.

it does but you could compare it to the works that came from that place and time. to me it has lots of similarities.

to me you can recreate any form or era of art right now and call it that way. its not modern art only because you drew it yesterday

this board graphic was made by random coincidently placed collages and lines. it doesn't make sense at all yet the artist decided to call it art.

for me and my eye its art and it looks great even though it has no meaning or cause whatsoever. you could say that about lots of modern art but this is made out of collages which reminded me of the dada movement. modern forms of art came out of that movement so why not call it dada?

Dadaism can (and does) exist in contemporary art, but like others said, this isn’t it.

Dadaism often uses absurdity to highlight a kind of subversive message. Like the the R. Mutt urinal suggests. It was a direct joke at the ideals of art at the time, especially during WE1, which was the first time slaughter was on an industrial scale.

Not that toy machine have really had many decent graphics for some time but I feel the stuff they make would instantly be many times better if they ditched the computers and went back to hand drawn. Also get rid of solid colour backgrounds and have wood grain. Will still be dumb but at least look less cheap

I guess it's meant to be this, but as a Dior pastiche, it's lazy. Why does the pattern just end abruptly before the bolts? It doesn't even finish naturally – it's just cropped middle of the D at the bottom. If it's meant to look like a luxury brand why does it feel like they wanted them produced as cheaply as possible? The ink in the pattern should be in the negative space (ie. the colours should be reversed), which also makes it look off.

Why add the white? It's meant to mimic a single colour embroidery, so they added another colour for no reason. Maybe the designer gets paid per colour? Maybe they have more white ink? If it was all gold and the graphic ran the full board it'd still be bad, but probably look better.

The logo type looks like it came straight from Illustrator. The "Di" kerning is too tight so it reads as "Di l o" (the "il" and "lo" pairs aren't great either). Start with the existing logo – the "Di" in the original doesn't look like that, so there's no reason yours should.

I get that they want a recognisable logo, but there's probably a reason Dior wouldn't use that one for that type of application since it leaves a bunch of awkward whitespace around it. They could have gone with the more modern all caps version of the logo, but I'd say that having to replace the "R" with an "L" made it not read as Dior.

There's nothing really wrong with an obvious idea, but maybe spend more than 30 seconds looking at what you're replicating.

Yeah great analysis and all, but we don't even gotta go this deep. The most important wack aspect of this board is the fact that Dime already ripped the Dior logo. Whoever made this almost board gotta dig deeper.

Like if someone does something in the futura font in white with a red background (preme) or uses the the edgy Hulk Hogan font (FA) then it's just automatically wack cause it's a rip of a rip. That's boardwalk t-shirt store tier design

I had a consolidated skateboard. It was at the shop forever Brickhouse in Marblehead. I got it for 30 bucks because it had a shit graphic I never gave a shit about graphics if I could wash them off they were coming off.

The graphic was a little crayon cartoon of someone dreaming about boobs.

I buffed it. Board shape was nice. Around that time I was only doing the basics.

Hill bomb switch hill bomb Ollie wallies etc. you know mashing crosstown true east style.

It had the best wheel shape I ever had tho. Bones DTF. What a wheel that was. It was kinda like a hard mini cube. Completely covered the axle nuts.

I had my og late 90s thunders for 7.75 with the dark green bushings. Top front bushing I cut a little.

I started working on switch push around then but I didn’t refine my style till 2016 when I blew my acl.

May sound silly but I skated right through that injury. It was silly. I did it again few months later. It made a snap and the pain was gone like right afterwards.

Got some slop and swelling but it’s been ok since.

Peace love and fakie hard flips to you and yours.

Yeah :-\ specially if comparing with the roses graphics from a couple collections back. I have that deck and I can’t skate it because how beautiful it is.

Perhaps this is for the unpopular opinion thread but I always thought Seiben’s and Pendleton’s work didn’t belong on skateboards.

Sorry!
Please don’t beat me!

being ripped apart is not how this virus works and its just stupid to even make it a topic on your skateboard.
i care about how my boards look. I like blank boards more than this ugly designed bullshit.

no shit it's not how the virus works. it's called artistic license.
that being said the graphic is stupid because it's designed poorly, any other execution of this idea would look better
[close]

artistic license my ass. its kind of making fun of how the virus is out there killing people. what else is the point of this cartoon? "we are aware there is a virus outside so I thought yea I might draw smiling viruses ripping apart Jon Dickson " you cant tell if its pro or anti vaxx cause its shows viruses in such a extreme untrue way. plus its ugly as fuck.

Are you about to attach a fact check for misinformation to a deathwish graphic my Brotha ?

Yeah those are awful, the "it's a man" one garnered a slight smile but the others I would be embarrassed to skate or pay for.

What's with all the butterfly hate tho 💔?
I kinda like the Ishod butterfly nose and tail graphic. It's not the most complex or unique design but it's simple enough that the foil isn't too much.

I loved consolidated. Really bad jokes that didn’t make much sense. They were a fuck you to the Xgames focused industry at the time.

The anti-Nike “don’t do it” campaign was genius. They saw their bullshit coming from a mile away.

Plan B is mad corny to me. To an unfair degree. Whatever could be a perfect graphic for me would be ruined by the Plan B logo.

I don’t think there’s another brand that I feel so strongly against.
Title: Re: Worst board graphics ever?
Post by: Arto!Arto!WakeUp! on September 13, 2023, 01:33:45 AM
this is a slight deviation from the question, but i think arguably the worst graphics *relative to how amazing everything else about the brand is* would be sour.

i've wanted a sour deck since 2017ish, but have never seen one in my size with a graphic that i felt like paying money for.

but maybe that's just them being geniuses as usual...given that the videos are so good, i still felt duty bound to spend cash on the brand. so i got the 'spot hunter' fleece instead, which cost about the same but presumably has about triple the amount of markup.

well played, gustav. well played.
