HARDGOODS 25/26

That K2 branding is brutal imo. on the base, that triangle thing for their Family Tree equivalent is cool. Nice. But that line of 'K2's' ??? looks like how a gaper sticks a sticker they got free somewhere. If it's long and narrow like that, stick on an edge. Oh, and having more K2 logos on your board is NOT a good thing imo.
I don't mind those graphics but seriously, it must be impossible to tell what year a certain board is just from the graphics.

What, you don't like having 11 brand logos on your ski board?!

You don't think that's the point?

Bro you’re so core

The core-est. But nah, I just think putting that logo on a board 11 times is a very "ski company" thing to do. Their skis have that same copy/paste logo design language all over them.

Is it just me or do most board companies seem kind of lost when it comes to art direction. Those are just vague. Could be any board from any brand from the last five years.

Agreed, K2 is especially low-effort with graphics these days, but it’s happening across the industry it seems.

I guess that after years and so many designs, they don't know where to go anymore... maybe nothing is new or trendy anymore...

I'm w the unpopular opinion; actually dig these K2 graphics in their quiver series. Fan of quiet top sheets, with bright colors on the base just like they've been doing. And think the K2 logo looks pretty dope on the base like that. But that's just my personal taste. All subjective, of course.

[Spenser]

I'm in the plain/subdued camp as well. I don't care if they look almost the same every year, or whatever. As far as I'm concerned, every single one of my boards for the rest of my life could have a blank topsheet & black base.

Do you guys WANT graphics? Totally get it if so, I'm just asking. I personally don't. Occasionally there's something I'm stoked on, but it's usually pretty simple.

I generally like family tree, nitro’s quiver, k2 landscape, etc, but yeah the repeater K2 logo is dog doo doo

I like subdued graphics for sure. But if it’s gonna be subdued, I’d rather it just be full on US/Korua style instead of this lava lamp amoeba rainbow splooge that has been popular lately.

I’m actually stoked to see the Passport go back to a more mono colored base next year instead of the rainbow one from this season, I’ve been wanting one again since they added a 157w.
