The Winged Ripper graphic was created by artist V.C. Johnson in 1986. It was originally used as the graphic for the 1986 Bones Brigade Summer Tour on t-shirts and stickers. Later, the graphic was redesigned and used as the top graphic on decks, replacing the Oval Dragon. The "XT" refers to Extra Tough Bonite construction, which was later changed to "7-P" when Bonite construction was discontinued.
