If you find yourself looking for that special place, where "art" is subjective, less is more and criticism is at a premium, then welcome to /gd/.
Found in an event known as the Fifth Founding, /gd/FC is the official football club of 4chan's Graphic Design board. A team hailing from the quiet corners of 4chan, a minnow in a sea of big fish trying to make a name for itself, ever since its inception - /gd/ has always aimed to impress by going toe-to-toe with the giants of the cup.
It's currently playing in the 2015 4chan Winter Cup and holds the 12th position in the 4chan Cup Rankings.

Team History
2014 4chan Summer Cup
In their return to elite cup football, for the 2014 4chan Summer Cup, /gd/ were drawn in Group A, along with reigning champions /trv/, former champions /sp/ and dark horses /wsg/. For the first match of their group, as well as the first match altogether of the cup, /gd/ faced off against defending champions /trv/. The champions were on the offensive for most of the game, but a resilient /gd/ backside held out to a semen slurping 0-0 draw that gave /gd/ a glimmer of hope in their group of death. Despite this, /gd/'s survival in the Summer Cup was put into major question as the team went a second game without scoring. Going up against /wsg/, a single free kick was enough to dismantle an otherwise solid defensive wall and see /gd/ with only 1 point after 2 matches and a snowball's chance in hell at advancing. On the last day, stacked against insurmountable odds with a mountain to climb against one of the greatest teams in 4chan Cup history, /gd/ had to win by at least 2 against the GOATS of /sp/. With nothing to lose, the team threw itself hammer and tongs in attack, having the chance to take the lead as early as the 2nd minute, however Da Burrs deflected Fuck You, Pay Me's shot. The match was a head to head, back and forth grapple contest up until the 80th minute, where Kerning showed everyone why he's wearing the armband. A great attack swept past /sp/'s defence and he slotted it from a difficult angle to make /sp/ sweat. Only 6 minutes later, a beautiful series of passes lead to a historic moment. A flawless Helvetica cross fell into Kerning's feet, who instead of shooting then tricked the /sp/ defense with yet another cross. With the /sp/ defense left puzzled, the ball was sent into an open space just in front of the /sp/ goal, and none other than the courageous attacking centre back Glitch Art was there to smash the ball into the top of the net for his first ever /gd/ goal in his 1 year tenure. And what a goal it was. As the last whistle went off, seemingly sure-win /sp/ were relegated and /gd/ bagged their first ever elite cup knockouts, as well as their survival in the 4chan Cup's top tier.
- "Uhm... that happened."

Rivals
|
| Artistb Owl When the two main art boards of the 4chan Cup go head to head, sparks fly and tension rises. Bitter rivals to the core, both teams have overperformed during recent cups, in spite of their doubters. And even though /ic/ always seem to get further in the cup, /gd/ have never lost a single derby match played in an official tournament. |
| 1-1-1 |
 |
| Renders vs Rasters Derby A less spite-filled derby in comparison to the latter , but still with a good charge to it. Against all odds, the only iteration of this derby was won 2-1 by /3/, making /gd/ the first team to lose to them in over a year, adding more spice to the mix. |
