Powell Logos

Powell Skate logos - old skateboarding skool style. So my older cousin was a big skateboarder in the 80s or 90s or whenever the Powell craze hits and he’s got everything Powel you can imagine from the early days. I remember when I was a kid seeing a huge bones over his bed with the skull and shit ripping through the poster and it nearly scared the shit out of me then. Then I kind of forgot about it but respect to the legend and also to the skateboarders who are awesome. Powell is pretty much 80% of the history of early skateboarding brands. I used to think they were such a big brand but I guess all the brands are big now - skating has gone out of control.

So as you’d expect there are plenty of Powell variations out there - like I said Bones and other 80’s etc right up to the pro stuff and the newer designs. I’d like to put them in order but will wait until we have a good collection. Let us all know if you find a good one because I think this would be like the granddaddy of the collection.

Ok so I guess this is a badge or somehting but I’ve never had a badge sewn into anything cos I don’t know where I’d put it maybe on my backpack? But then I’d have to sew it in and I’m sure it would come off so it’s easier just to draw logos in with a marker. Maybe the teams have these but for me I’m not sure why.

Slick as balck and white Powell sticker. I’ve seen these as big as your hand and like as big as your head on tour buses and stuff. It says Powell Skateboards on the side there but who doesn’t know the brand. Someone said it had something to do with a wheel but it’s just a P yeah, maybe a P with also a wheel thing going on.

This is like the poster I used to see at my cousin’s. Only his was all black background with white over it and I think red Bones logo. It says 1984 which is so old I don’t know what to think about that. I guess all this was new then and they were like the first guys to go out there with skateboarding drawings and designs. If any of the veterans out there know about the history of the designs let us know because it would be great to hear from pro skateboarders.
