Over the weekend, Autocon was held in Irvine and I made sure to be up by 6:00 AM to meet up with the Royal Origin crew. Despite the freezing 45 degree weather, it was still exciting to see all their cars roll up one by one until it was time to leave. Once everyone was ready, we all headed out in a caravan to the event. When we got there, Royal Origin along with Canibeat, Low Ballers, Boss Company, and Sexy Squad began setting up their 32 cars they brought out to showcase. The turnout for the event couldn’t have been any better then I had expected. To end the day off, an award ceremony was held and Royal Origin was able to take home the award for Best Represented Team!

Busy day at the Canibeat x Royal origin booth

John Zhang from Canibeat parked his car right next to the booth. Nicest 1 series i’ve ever seen!

Such a great turnout of cars at autocon!

Ryan and Thomas stopped by and tried to find as much shade as they could

The Holidays are here and we’ve decided to give you a little taste of some of the graphics we have in store for you. This season brings us to the end of our fourth year, so we’ve appropriately named it “The end of the Beginning”. We’re not anywhere close to being newbies, but were not really seasoned vets yet either. Our company is at a point where we’ve got a new focused direction, a solid team, and a great future ahead of us so we wanted to use this opportunity to release a sort of “greatest hits” line up of graphics and introduce our new direction to the world if it doesn’t end once the ball drops.

This season we’re remixing our favorite graphics from season’s prior into better versions of their previous selves. Here are three of our faves.

TOPCAT2
The original Top Cat was an image of slick rick twisted to embody
one of his tracks of the same name. The new Top Cat is a juiced up super hyper awesome American version of the original.

MIC CHECK
Mic Check 1 was from our Spring 2010 Collection, a simple and straightforward nod to hip-hop heads everywhere. Our re-mixed version has a darker aesthetic, with toned down colors and a vintage finish to the overall graphic to emulate movie title cards from the 1930’s.

HOME GROWN
For our Holiday 2008 season, we released a shirt that represented our home. This Holiday we’re releasing a shirt that represents home growing, and you can take that any way you want.
