Brand with the worst art direction.

[Endless Toedrag]

Some decks make me think "who the fuck is buying this?"

deathwish.

[Glassface]

Feel like this is obvious but Plan B

[Chango]

Flip by far.

Also:

Girl
Blackbox brands
Enjoi (used to be amazing in the early 00's) and everything else under dwindle


But then again, most of the bigger brands are aimed at kids. Flip graphics have always been shitty, though. Even as a kid I can only remember liking the team.

As for the best, Politic! The only graphic they've put out I haven't liked is the Renaud wrestler board, everything else is on point.

[Hash Slinging Slasher]

DGK, Darkstar, Baker, pretty much any other big brand.

[Carlos]

Pretty much anything but Hookups

[Kanye Omari West]

DGK is hit or miss and they've got a lotttt of misses, parodying other brands is only okay for so long, some decent original graphics would be nice Stevie, just sayin'

I've never really been a fan of Santa cruz graphics personally

[Baron Samedi]

Real. They've been one of my favorite teams for years but just have the worst fucking graphics.

[mariomister]

dgk,almost,blind,enjoi,planb,element,etc..
all the kids stuff.

[JB]

pretty much everything inside here.

deathwish.

You should really follow or look into Brian Romero who does all the Deathwish stuff. Dude is rad and the graphics really have a grass roots feel. Everything is hand draw for the most part. Made me really like Deathwish a lot. I thought their Hollywood walk of fame set was one of the better stuff out.

But right now though, they one offs for each pro and all those boards look sick!







Everything under Blitz sucks. Flip and Blind suck too.

Any brand that has skulls or booze or weed or almost naked chicks or zombies or pirates or ninjas or robots or cartoon style characters as a graphic.

Decks should just have the brand name or logo and the name of the pro.

Graphics like these are often the sickest to me

[scorpion1001]

fucking awesome

[Still Tippin]

easily real. topic should've been the inverse question

[Wetrippymayne]

New blueprint?

While very clean and simple these designs are painfully boring.

Are you trolling us? What's the deal? Deathwish probably has the best art direction.  Brian Romero's too good.

I think my man is talking about the zumiez-esque deathwish boards. The ones with tie-dye weed leaves and shit. Because their boards aren't THAT bad.

Different strokes I guess.
I'm sure brian Romero is a great guy, I guess the weird wrestling themed decks and whatever went over my head.

[Cooner66]

i dunno, i've never seen a deathwish board with a graphic i was stoked on.. sure some of the basic logo one's arn't bad, but i'm sure as hell not tryin to buy anything that says "furby" "slash" "lizard king" or "moose" on it with some mockery animal themed graphic attatched to it.. Real definitly has some pretty brutal ones too, same with fucking awsome, they try toooooo hard like they should almost come with coloured animal print custom grip for all the hipster wannabe kids..... chocolate has had some pretty timeless graphics, i dunno about any of their recent stuff, even the beeves and butthead ones weren't too bad.. Habitat is pretty dope as well.

What? The weird anime shit is so cringe-inducing.

[Fongstarr.]

Granted Deathwish does tons of parody graphics but they are still good looking as far as the art is concerned.

You can see his whole portfolio here: http://brianromero.com/illustration/

His T&C Surf design one was sick.

I mean, I like those kinds of graphics, but let's be honest, they're boring as hell, you're going to tell me that you don't like this?


Also on the topic of birdhouse, they were really shitty for a long time, but now a lot of their shit is on point

[Frank]

is darkstar still around?

[Fongstarr.]

I hate to do it but 3D so far has been a huge bust. This is the new decks with artwork done by BA:

[Morty Seinfeld]

Currently, Stereo and Foundation

What you don't like tits or something?

[DannyDee]

Darkstar, their theme is Knights. I think Girl and Deathwish have both released legit parody decks recently. I absolutely love Mike Carroll (with Rick Howard) dumb and dumber deck.
