Best Graphics 07/08

What are the best 5 graphics you have seen out so far this year? and the worst 5 graphics of 07/08? And do bad graphics make you want to buy a different board, even if it has been one of your favorite shapes for years?

Best:
1.Smokin' Traction 156 Guitar graphic neon green (air guitar extremo!)
2.Rome Hustlin' Artifact (ain't nothing but a hustle yo)
3.Capita Stairmaster New York Girlfriend (Corey Smith is a neat Artist and has an interesting perspective on the world.
4.Lib Tech Travis Rice Atari bubbles custom colors are so hot right now
5.Ride Agenda wooo good mix of color and 80s ransom font.

Worst:
1.Burton X8 (woah awful glitter color, looks like a mix between a david bowie music video and a walmart snowboard)
2.Burton Un Inc (had a hard time deciding whether this was the sweetest graphic or the worst, but in the end it was just a bit too metro for me)
3.santa cruz Jon Kooley (last years graphic from kooley was one of my favorite ever, and despite good color this year, the baby thug is too blind skateboards)
4.K2 gyrator (trying way too hard to be retro)
5.Salomon Scotty Arnold (never been feeling his graphics and this years look like every others)

Luckily many of my favorite boards had good graphics this year and many of the boards I like least have bad praphics so this year the graphics don't hinder my decision, but in the past there has been the dilemma of "this board rides so well but looks so stupid I can hardly bear to put it under my feet"

Tough call...

I will never ever give credit to Ride for graphics (not trying to hate, I just have found their stuff to be wildly uncreative) but I will say that either the Rome Mod or the Riders Choice MTX from GNU may have won it for me (the Mod in person with the gloss hits is siiiick). Second place would be either the Rome Machine (www.midwestisbest.com Mike Perry check him out!) or the Atomic Axum. Yes, the Axum should be a tattoo instead of a base graphic but for some reason it hit me pretty hard. Art rocks hey?

Worst Graphics : Burton Seven, X8, Custom (seriously, did they just change the location of the 07s?) and pretty much all of K2's boards.

Relax relax...just an opinion!

good picks

i think any of the Monument decks could go on that list too. Just all artist series.

Backing Monument on this one as well, I think they have some of the best looking and most original boards out there.

this year has been a huge dow

this year has been a huge downer as far as graphics go. but i love the illuminati lance pitman deck, its so clean looking and the shape is dope. i also like the stepchild board with the titanic on it (dont know the name of it).

they're based out of virginia, for some reason they seem pretty cheap.
