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.
 
My five favorites ...

2012 Night Trains

These are sweet, I'm also really digging the looks of next year's icelantics
 
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. 704605.jpeg

Other shoutouts to 4FRNT Hoji, Gaucho & YLE. Line Chronics. Liberty Origin. Pettitors too.
 
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.
