About the Skull and Sword “GeeGaw”:

The iconic "Skull & Sword" graphic was originally designed as a pro model for Ray "Bones" Rodriguez in 1979. Illustrated by VCJ, It was Powell-Peralta's first deck graphic. Originally produced in two shapes, a "Widetail" and a "Sub Nose" the deck continued to stay in the line even after Ray Rodriguez retired. The design went through subtle changes until 1988 when VCJ gave it a complete makeover. A banner was added as well as a full length skeleton background image. It was put on a new deck shape as well with the in-house working name of GeeGaw dubbed by Chris Iverson. Construction was primarily Bonite.
