It's not like the baby really cares. Moving colourful stuff that makes a sound, what more could you want?

Babies do start to pick up on faces early on -- we've got some hardwired stuff there -- and on the mobiles there, the faces are away from the baby.

  • At birth: Even though your baby doesn’t recognize you, she certainly likes the look of you. Studies have shown that even newborns, with their eyesight limited to about 12 inches, prefer to look at familiar faces — especially yours.

  • Months 2 to 4: Your baby will start to recognize her primary caregivers' faces, and by the 4-month mark, she'll recognize familiar faces and objects from a distance.

Most of the complex details and shapes are facing away. Oddly, of the mobiles I see there, the few designs aimed at the baby are mostly black-and-white, not colorful, while I'd have also thought that color would be preferable.

When they're really little, high contrast is more clear and theoretically more interesting. There's a lot of black and white toys aimed at newborns for that reason.

Heh fair enough.
