Spastic Name:
Back in 2004 I used to see a wild girl whose nickname when she was in school
was Spastic. This was around the same time I was starting up the new lifestyle
company. Because the artwork I was using for this venture was crazy compared
to the work I did for the off-road companies at the time, the term Spastic
seemed to fit well for the name, later becoming Spastic Designs before
the launch in January 2005. In early 2006 there was a possible name change,
but the decision to keep Spastic Designs was made, and the trademarks were
purchased. We plan to carry the name into the future, continuing to make the wildstyle designs that have got us this far.

Definition:
For those who don't
understand the word, in America we use it with the definition of
excitement, excessive energy, or hyperactivity (Webster's).
The term has many meanings, most pointing toward the offensive or obnoxious,
which also works well as the name's meaning being that Spastic Designs tends
to offend some with the use of sex in the products. For those smarties out
there that study dictionaries, NO our company doesn't have anything to do
with the cerebral palsy or convulsion definitions, but if for some reason
our products do give you convulsions or muscle spasms, please let us know!

Bomb Threat Logo:
The meaning behind the Bomb
Threat logo isn't known by many. It's a road sign with a bomb silhouette
that stands as a warning sign for the road ahead in life. You never know
what's going to happen, so you better use your time wisely and appreciate
every second. On any day, at any moment everything can change and your fuse
could run out.

Underground Style:
Working around mass-media advertising or publicity without help from larger
corporations is considered a characteristic of the underground. It's when
something is too extreme or radical for the mainstream market. Although not
popular by the overall population, underground groups or companies can still
become very well-known and generate large followings. Big companies trying
to find new talent in the music or entertainment industry often look in the
underground scene. Spastic is currently underground and will always show
support no matter what happens down the road.
