Sure this thread has existed before, but fuck it.

I'm gonna go with literally every board Flip has ever put out. Ever.

Just a few of their gems from over the years...

that's what i wanted to say.

working at the plan b art department must be a chill job. anybody with low to mediocre photo shop skills could do the work and put out entire board series in less than 15 minutes.

also, flip had better times, still nothing wrong with penny mushroom graphics in any way. there is much worse companies.

Toy Machine has had some awful shit as of late:

can anyone find that ice creamingly sorry flip graphic? it's so bad that it's one of the funniest things that has happened in skateboarding.

it's also sad to see how hard their graphics and image dropped off after sorry.

really? it's not the best they've ever done, but you call this bad graphic? did you browse the last element catalogue? did you check out the new darkstar promodels? most of the baker or deathwish stuff - preferably their logo decks?

i never liked the A-team graphics.

Somewhat repetitive but miles and miles ahead of a lot of shit that's out or has come out.

Yeah, I mean I guess in the grand scheme of 'Worst Graphis of All Time" this series probably isn't up there, but I'm merely trying to demonstrate how IMO Toy's graphics have fallen off. Used to have some of the sickest shit in the 90's/early 00's. The obsession with turtleboy/sect has got to go. Nearly at late 90's World level.

Are you trying to say these are good graphics??

I think that "Bury the hatchet" is brilliant, but the Joy Division and Pink Floyd shit has been ripped off at least 10,000,000 times.

Don't get me wrong man, I love Toy, but it seems like Ed is either running out of ideas, or going for the kiddie market.

alka-seltzer · « **Reply #14 on:** June 28, 2013, 06:55:36 PM »

the joy division one hasn't been ripped off 10,000,000 times. show examples.

Every Real deck I skate I never stoked on the graphic, it's always pretty whatever.

And thats just a few. Shit, Disney got sued for ripping it off for chrissake. Not to mention that logo is literally branded all over hipster stores these days.

^ that wu tang one is tight. the best of both hipster worlds.

Ayejay · « **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2013, 07:47:25 PM »

I did the dark side one in collaboration with Ed! I was just continuing the classic rock theme that Collin had established, and he rocks Floyd shirts. Not saying its the best ever but it sold out of its initial run, so I was hyped.

I've done some real stinkers, but I'm backing the Collin board.

Some recent-ish Toy graphics I dig:

Toy machine ones are fine , cant belive you are complaining about them when you see the plan B ones and flip ones afew posts above the toy ones . Plan B logo was designed like 20 years ago and all they are doing now is changing some colors and font size .

How do you get so uninspired at your job ?

I havent seen many LE grafics but while they are not super good , they have a certain charm , I guess its the LE thing

Andrew · « **Reply #23 on:** June 28, 2013, 08:15:30 PM »

these kinda look like they were made with the create-a-deck feature they had in the later THPS games

That Daewon board is actually sick. Way better than the other bites.

Real has awful graphics. If I had to choose one graphic though, it would be this...

Habitat graphics are good relative to other companies, but boring and uninspired compared to what they used to be

Andrefosho · « **Reply #28 on:** June 28, 2013, 11:17:58 PM »

Toy Machine is the last company I would mention for bad board graphics.
