Size?

A brand and chain of stores I really admire in terms of their visual identity. They release quality promotional material on a regular basis, mostly in the form of fold out Z-Cards. This was the first brand I knew I definitely wanted to include in the book as I've kept quite a few of their promotional releases, so all I need to be able to include them is a high quality logo, so hoping to hear back from them soon.
These are just some images I've quickly gathered on the net, soon to take proper photos of the promo stuff I have....









They also have an online magazine which I would probably include within my book, all looks sick!

Love Inc

Another boarding company, quite a new, so unsurprisingly small brand.
Some strong type based designs, mostly the t-shirts.













Carhartt

Couldn't find a whole lot on them in terms of interesting visuals but they are a brand I've always had an interest in.

Boxfresh

Quick few images from Boxfresh, waiting for the press pack to arrive from Owen their in-house designer.

Another boarding brand, goggles this time, Similar aesthetics to Analog (Owned by same company - Burton). Their goggles look sick, and the design studio, JDK, did their branding, Needless to say its quality.










Showing the logo and website, clean / clinical. Good looking shit. 
Below, its only a bloody Iphone application, so technically up-to-date. If I had an Iphone I would get it, but i can't be trusted with nice things!

Analog

A favorite brand of mine from boarding culture, Analog.

I feel it has a really strong visual identity. The logo is clean, bold and down to the tweeks creating the custom typeface, instantly recognizable.
But again I would love to include some swing-tags, as I think everything they release just looks quality. 




Adidas

A brand that I'd love to include. Unfortunately quite hard to find high quality and appropriate images with them not being able to send me stuff!
It's still a possibility though,






Logo is quality, not sure on what else I'd include, some decent looking trainers?
