Cruise Boards Deck Graphic

Cruise Board's skateboard graphic on a worn skateboard held by a skateboarder on stairs, the graphic having "cruise" in pink lettering over a blue background.

Cruise Boards is a skateboard company based in San Francisco, California. To celebrate their tenth anniversary, they wanted a new skateboard design with inspiration taken from the west coast to reference their roots.

I wanted to take a more minimal approach to the deck with a heavy focus on hand-lettered typography & logo design. The colour palette was inspired by vintage ice cream shops on the west coast, the west coast skyline, and the golden gates bridge.

This project was created from a practice brief provided by Briefbox.
