Good Graphics?

What do you guys look for in the graphics of a ski?
I know they are the least important thing, but what catches your eye in the shop window?

For me, its the futuristic/space themed graphics, like the 2014 Rocker2 122, 2015 PC, or the base of the 2015 Chets.

Probably what catches my eye is something colorful, but what I like to see is very different graphics. I think moment does it the best

i think liberty and icelandic have the sickest graphics. I'm into graphics that look more like pieces of art.

something with depth. i like to look at my skis and always see something different/new. moment have always pushed out really cool graphics. i think my favorite is the bibby pro 11/12 season. i also liked the atomic ben chetlers as well. and the k2 hell bents with the clown on.

^dude, as far as bases the bent cheaters with the tie dye were awesome! og salomon 1080 bases will always hold a spot in my heart too.

Living in Switzerland, I do not get to see Moments skis in person but I dig their designs a lot. The 2015 Deathwish looks really cool.

Also dig the Bent Chetlers this year, didn't really like the previous years designs. Click for larger image

I really liked the 13-14 line chronic's top sheet, the bases not so much. My favorite bases are the 13-14 Armada halo 2s, they're so clean.

Next year's AR7s are wicked cool. Also the look of this year's JJs. 2012-2013 Jmo's (the green ones) are my favorite graphic of all time though.

The "pilsner" EHP graphic was by far my favorite top sheet.

As for bases, I like plain black. Easy to fix core shots, and they're fast.

Oh I agree with both of your thoughts 100%. The Maple leaf on the base of the Hoji's is a nice addition too. Never thought so much of black bases until I had to use "clear" P-tex on white bases and which look like they have a brown shit smack in the middle.
