Surfboard logos face off again in day 2!
After three lay days of shifty winds and a crossed-up swell the Battle of the Brands is back in the water, ready to grab your attention and your vote. In case you missed, the Battle of the Brands is a professional surfing competition that pits surfboard brand logo against surfboard brand logo in sudden death heats.
We ain’t talking the performance of the board, the price, the selection etc. etc. No. This battle is purely about logos and the victor is decided in the comments.
The first three heats included JS vs. Mayhem, Channel Islands vs. Slater Designs, Pyzel vs. Rusty.
And you! You dear commentariat have never taken anything this seriously in BeachGrit’s entire history! You voted and you voted non-ironically for Mayhem, CI and Rusty. So they are all into Round 2!
Now let’s finish off Round 1.
Heat 4

Heat 5

Heat 6

You know the drill. Vote in the comments and send your favorites into Round 2!

1. HS (Wayyyy better DESIGN and Schroff seems like a crybaby how he’s always whining about HS…it’s fucking stripes, not even Hurley is suing the weightlift bros over their shorts)
2. Tough. But Maurice Cole wins on longevity/ legacy
3. T&C has so much legacy….but super on pure design…. TC wins
None of those logos have been designed by designers. They’ve been made by people who were friends with a guy who was friends with a guy.
Ht 1: Draw. Both equally bad. Perhaps Schroff wins on count back for not really trying but neither really tried, hopefully.
Ht 2: MC wins because at least it has personality.
Ht 3: T&C timeless and slick. SB is ironic but lame.
HS because the logo is now iconic (stigma and all), plus I had a Cannon and liked it.
MC because he’s MC.
T&C because everyone drew that shit on things in primary school.
ha bite , just thought I’d bring a bit of bitterness ,scepticism, reality, and trawl of the non-believers , and that was intentional!!
Schroff, Cole, T&C
Chas bags out The Inertia and then serves up this fucking dross on his own site.
I hate it when you lot simply run out of ideas.
Dig a bit deeper fellas, make something up surely you creative types have got something better.
What are you talking about? This is close to genius!
This is what Beachgrit has become.? What next?? “The Complex World Of Novelty Surfing” ??
Schroff
Chilli
T&C
Slater Designs rule, man!
Heat 1: Schroff – because he publicly chainsawed a hypto krypto in half and Brisick’s profile of him in TSJ 24.1 was rad.
Heat 2: Maurice Cole – because literal interpretations are overrated. Maurice’s Teddy Bear logo that was on Taj’s boards in the early 2000s destroys both of these, way better than the minimalist Mcdonald’s colored paw print he’s running nowadays.
Heat 3: T&C – no brainer, classic. Is there anything cool about Super Brand? No (Clay’s rad though) Douchiest “Brand” out. Remember when Super hired Uncle Mike to shape their whole line then fired him and refused to give him his original label back? Unforgivable. I’m no UM fan but that’s fucked up. Super deserves to win nothing. T&C should drop those Glen Pang lams and bring back Thrilla Gorilla as well as the neon sprays, history repeats itself.
Why have I never heard of this chainsawing incident!!???
It’s been censored Hayden sued him over it but there’s clips of it rolling around insta and YouTube just not on his shit.
most of the footage has been scrubbed but luckily Cox’s attorney missed a spot. https://www.instagram.com/p…
Wow! that was intense!
When the mad go mad go mad.
I smell methamphetamine
Dat pimp on another kinda buzz that crystals can’t touch
Where do I find it? And how much?
Just let Brutus win or we’ll never hear the end of it…
fuck winners is for losers!!
1/. Hayden. It flows.
2/. MC. Paws are cool.
3/. T and C. Iconic. (Although the one guy I know with the tattoo, well it’s more egg shaped than circular so: Ha!)
Honestly, this is looking more and more like Realsurf’s famed Tard Of The Year competition
Ha!
HS – because he’s sold a lot of boards and I’m not a hater – even though the only HS I’ve owned in fibreflex (not a hypto) disintegrated fairly easily (fibre fracture might have been a more appropriate name)
MC – Maurice is royalty
T&C – nostalgia wins – I remember the Ying / Yang being cool in the late ’80s when I was an impressionable yoof
Hayden (not ashamed), Chilli (literal!), and T&C (for the video game).
Heat 1: Schroff. Never heard of them but in my experience only dickheads and old guys who still think they’ve got it ride Hyptos
Heat 2: Cole, because Maurice would charge the tower otherwise.
Heat 3: Super. Drawing a yin yang on your maths book is so passé
Hayden, Cole, T&C
Another easy one , Hayden ,chile and T&C for all their ground breaking designs that will be remembered for an eternity or at least until their marketing budget runs out!!
Schroff is a Vodka?
