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 2014 4chan Summer Cup and holds the 21st position in the 4chan Cup Rankings.

Team History

Main article: /gd/ 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 flawless Helvetica cross fell into Kerning's feet and he hammered it against the keeper. The initial shot was deflected, but centre back Glitch Art was left with an open tap in 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 For so long, /ic/ have been the main artistic board of 4chan. But now /gd/' aspires to take that title from them. In spite of the many claims that graphic design is not "real art", /gd/ continues being the unrelenting noisy neighbor, who intends to show their cocky rivals just how big the logo can get.

1-1-1

Survival of the Fetus Derby Regarded as two of the best Fifth Founding teams, /gd/ and /lgbt/ were the only 2 provisional teams to get promoted in their first ever Babby Cup. Despite only ever facing off in the 2014 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies, a match that ended in a hard-fought 3-2 /gd/ victory, these two aspiring giants always create supercharged matches.

1-0-0

Renders vs Rasters Derby A minor derby in comparison to the latter 2, but still with a good charge to it. Despite being a slow, underperforming board, /3/ are not a team to be underestimated. Another team in the creative category, /3/ may not be /gd/'s bitterest rival, but they do intend to knock those pesky 2D artist kids off their high perch.
