1. A silicone edge graphic mountable to a window for mitigating damage to a mounting surface of the window, the silicone edge graphic comprising:
a frame defining front and rear sides;
a suction cup attached to the frame wherein the suction cup is completely disposed within a footprint of an outer periphery of the front side of the frame and behind the frame to hide the suction cup when a viewer views a printed indicia of the silicone edge graphic from a front perspective of the silicone edge graphic, the suction cup defining an engagement surface that generates a vacuum against the mounting surface of the window to mount the silicone edge graphic to the window, the engagement surface of the suction cup being offset away from the rear side of the frame so that the front side of the frame is further away from the engagement surface than the rear side of the frame to prevent contact between the frame and the mounting surface when the silicone edge graphic is mounted to the window; and
a sheet with the printed indicia thereon and disposed closer to the front side of the frame compared to the rear side of the frame, an outer peripheral portion of the sheet having a shape coinciding with an outer periphery of the frame, an edge portion of the sheet having silicone attached thereto, the silicone being disposed within slots formed in the frame to attach the sheet to the frame.
