Velarization

I'm delurking to ask a question. How horribly selfish. =)

I'm wondering, are there any natural languages that contrast velarized
consonants with anything *but* palatalized consonants? I'm familiar
with Russian, and know that velarization versus palatalization is
relatively common--and now I'm curious about what other things
velarization might contrast with.

I also know about the English light and dark "l". Is there anything
else? (Preferably more extensive?)

I'm considering creating a constrast between plain and velarized stops
in a language I'm working on, but I'm still in the
hunting-for-inspiration stage.
