Here's something similar to the one above. Just a start, I'll have some more coming tonight...

Not really meant to be, but does look similar to the Integ I guess.

Good call on not using those graphics ^ they are pretty terrible.
Edit: I am refering to the ones posted by classik5onit.

Wow, I had a feeling this contest would turn into a mess.

I think it's great that there are more wakeskate companies are coming on to the scene however the online graphic contest does seem to be a little worn out (even if there was only one other contest if seems like there was a bunch).

I agree with Lemons.

If you are going to start a wakeskate company you should at least be able to design a grafic.

At least just start basic with a solid color and simple logo until you come up with ideas.

I have a few ideas but I have no desire to give them away in return with a mediocore wakeskate.

But if you guys want to give away your creative ideas to an unoriginal company, go right ahead, I havent seen anything great yet anyways.

classik5onit, best of luck with the company and graphics.

yes as you can see... our artistic ability is lacking but our skates themselves are not on a count of your assumption of them being mediocore

to make our company successful we are tryin to push wakeskating by making decks that have quality that do not delam and have a unique ride to them. we are not basing our success on a graphic. yes the grpahic helps sell it tho.

if you want to call us unoriginal for tryin to put what the riders want on our boards then hate all you want. but since when has wakeskating been about graphics on the bottom of the board that you cant even see when ridin. if graphics were meant to be a factor in the ride of the skate they would be put on the top of the deck. when riding the quality of the deck is takin into consideration not the picture on the bottom.

We already have a basic color and simple logo on some homemade protos that we were kickin around ideas on. Hopefull Classik5onit can post those sometime soon. Just because we arent good with designing a graphic on the computer means we have no graphic skills. We are more concerned with shape and how the skate performs.

I recall Omen havin someone on here help them out with graphics.
I could be wrong but, im pretty sure I remember seeing that.

This is strickly optional. Not to mention if someone is aspiring(sp) to be an artist, it would look great on your portfolio to have a graphic used on an acutal product.

Classik are not the only ones benefiting. This was just supposed to be a fun idea not an epic battle of words

A few more simple ones...

DavHof, pour it on man looking good

i was thinkin it would be cool to have it look like a beer bottle or liquer bottle thats like classik n all.

i think premier snowskates did it a while back with a heinekin (sp? as you can tell im not of age to drink) bottle n put premier on it n all with the same font i remember it looked tight.

mabey it can be tied in with a jack daniels label or somethin its somewhat classical

yeah, the premier snowskate was a raban pro model, it was the best graphic they have ever done.
