Post your most disgusting graphics

What are the worst graphics you've ever skied on, or had the misfortune of looking at?

Recently, I was in a touring group that also gave us rentals.
They were more of a green color, and were an older model, but these were essentially it:



I'm sorry to whoever designed these skis, but holy fucking shit, are they disgusting.
Why does every directional ski that isn't from a freestyle company have to plaster their name in fucking italics on the tip and tail?
This shit looks like the design on a foam cup from the 90s. Even that would look better than this powerpoint template on a ski.
Is it that hard to put something genuinely interesting on the topsheet?

I hate the gross bright highlighter yellow that Volkl used a few years ago. I've considered taking a sharpie and drawing stuff all over my slalom skis So I dont have to look at that awful yellow

Not convinced by the graphics on this years nfx. First time I saw Woodstock on them I legit thought it was a blank top sheet prototype and he’d taken a sharpie to it

line is usually pretty solid but I had a pair of the 2011 step ups, I'm just not really sure what they were going for with those graphics.

Well actually it's always good to do a quick Google search first. That way all the good stuff is in one spot versus across 15 different threads

The Line 2014 blends with the random rasta paint strokes were hideous. The bases were cool though

Fresh threads are better for discussion I think. Lots of users aren't interested in adding a comment to a thread that's more than a few months old or longer than a page. It seems to me that old threads that get bumped back up die pretty fast if most of the conversation's already been had. Reposts mean a blank slate for new discussion. Just an opinion though, nothin to back it up.

Yeah, what he said.
Personally I dont want post in thread bumps from 2004. Most of the people in those threads wont be
responding anyways.
Gear threads are the exception to this cause most of that information is objective

I don’t think I’ve seen any good graphics from Head ever since I first started paying attention in 2008. The Jon Olsson pros with his hot chick on there were cool & all but I wouldn’t really consider them as sick graphics

This
It sucks because volkl had a bunch of sick graphics on the Wall for previous years (before it became the revolt). Also they re-used this graphic for 2 years straight. Definitely something to do with the Olympics, I would imagine

Not going to lie, I wish ON3P used different default topsheets. Especially on the Kartel. Like their custom colored ones, the Murica one, etc. are so sick (especially the pink ones) but the stock Kartels look like those Hawaiian shirts with dragons and shit on them that neckbeards and children wore in the early 2000's.

Topsheets don't make a ski. Construction materials and bases do.

If one likes the top, well........that's just a bonus.
I never bought a ski based on a topsheet graphics.
One can always put a ton of stickers on the top if they don't like the top, yet know it's a killer ski.
Anyway I have never skied on a graphic ........unless the graphic was on the base!

Ive decided to not purchase a ski before because the top sheets were hideous.

Top sheets have also helped me buy a ski. I really wanted the governors but couldn’t really justify them but then moment brought back the 2015 graphics and I had to buy them.

Point is if the top sheets look better the ski will sell better if construction remains the same.
