I'm not saying i'd jump off a bridge if everyone else did, but i respect andrew pastura's opinion. If he feels like the logo needs an upgrade, i'm all for that and totally get where he's coming from.

I'm as traditional as anyone, but i'm all for this.

Potential new logo?

I couldn't quite get the tits the way I wanted them. If anyone has some Photoshop skills and could clean it up for me I'd really appreciate that.

Listen, i just agree that a shuv indy doesn't exactly represent what's going on in wakeskating today. As far as any previous discussio is concerned, some upgrades would not be a bad thing. To borrow a term from another site user, the shuv indy dude is on the "kooky" side.

POPTART, David Tenant, oh yeah.

So lets take into account the progression of an action sport, like MX , surfing or skateboarding. There was a time when "the sport" was finding its self. Pushing to create an identity. Looking at every style, competition, product, and influence to direct the entirety of the sport. But after their initial rise and first lull, they decided to change things up. Tell people what was legitimate, what was kooky. But look at it now. The coolest thing you can do is have an old vintage bike, surfboard, or tiny pool deck.
Its just going to come back around to this in wakeskating. in 20 years we will still appreciate anyone getting out and doing some lip tricks and w2w shuv indys. I understand that its a kooky-ish logo ,but look at it this way. Remember when you made fun of your dad for wearing shin high socks and those short shorts? Now everyone rocks the 1980's dad look. Why jump to change something that is so young, we still have the ability to preserve the history and progression.
electricsnow, it might not represent going on now, but just because you ride a 2013 board doesn't mean you are going to get rid of your cassettes, there is a history that shouldn't be thrown away because its not cool now....then 10 years later your kicking yourself because you threw away the Kooky thing.

If it is changed to anything, it should be a silhouette of TH's first Kflip.

Wow. A lot of feelings about this. Being sentimental about a logo for an online forum you frequent is strange behavior.

POPTART, I get where you're coming from, but for vintage to be cool I'm pretty sure it has to be vintage first.

Slapdown, "post modern" then..vintage after 20 years, so we are only 6ish away.

I respect your point poptart, but i think change would be good. I thought it was a shuv indy off of a kicker, which makes it even worse to me. (sorry!) i am as nostalgic as anyone--i think more than most--and i'm for sure not suggesting we drop the color scheme that stirs just as many opinions. I just don't think the shuv indy will be wakeakating's retro "go to" move.

Don't half ass it. If a new logo is happening, the site needs a complete face lift.

WERDna, maybe but keep the color scheme.
