50 greatest skate logos?
Fifty seems like too many, because a lot of them are just random sticker graphics and not really logos. It really needs to be tightened up. That’s my professional opinion that has nothing to do with the fact that they lifted at least three of the images from the S&A sticker archives without credit. Come on Don, it’s not that complex!
I would say that attribution of original material, i.e. reusing photos someone else took, words someone else wrote or pictures someone else drew, is mainly important than giving credit for the scan. Did you credit the original artist/designer in your gallery? I’d like to see that in Pendleton’s gallery. Some of his choices are pretty obscure.
I would agree, yes, but then I would also put in the footnote of where the image was reprinted from. After all, Andy Warhol didn’t sign his name on the commercial art he did for advertising before he was an “Artist” with a capital A. If you’re going to take it that far, It’s entirely appropriate to credit the collection holder when the image used is clearly identifiable as having been published elswhere first. Common courtesy. From the collection of…

zorlac or madrid!
not even a single circle from Kryptonics ? Apart from my devote worship of wheels of olde, I consider the 3-colors logo to be a model:
