The green reminds me of the ILYY Wasabi which is great! I donāt think Iāve seen a yo-yo colored like the purple-grey, looks really pretty!

the lavender is beautiful. my general yo (one of YOUR favorite brands) klr is lavender and it is such a standout piece. personally, iām happy you were limited to a single color (as opposed to a swap) on your first, and this particular throw. it says a lot about the limitations of the process.
i like the design of your throw, a lot, and will pick one up if there isnāt a monkey knife for themā¦ or if there isā¦ i like a good hint
a comment about the insigniaā¦ iām not trying to overly criticize, but the yin yang is trite and overused. in context, it seems like itās not saying anything but half and half, and that symbol has more meaning, or didā¦ i think itās a sorority symbolā¦ i guess 
but, the typeface isnāt fitting the motif either. five slashes/rings/nothingā¦ sometimes less is more
i am excited for your yoyo

I agree with the yin yang comment. But I feel that if the half swap or fade color options were available it would be an even more fitting insignia.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
@Isaac thank you for the positivity about the colors! the wasabi is a bright green, i actually forgot about that particular throw. I was aiming for it to be a brighter colorway. Glad you like the lavender too.
@fatguysnacks247 This shade of lavender turned out really nice in the render. i was afraid it would be a bit too pastel, but it seems like I imagined it would be. Im aiming for 50$ shipped. (60 for outside US) for production, 35-40 for b grades. Iāll try to get it lower if I can, depending on costs of everything else (strings, packaging, shipping rates, etc) so its affordable and collectible! again, im not trying to make any money on this. Id love for it to be even lower but since its only gonna be 50 pieces, my price per yoyo isnāt as low as companies that order 300+ on runs with ridiculously low margins.
@Mystik I agree. It is a bit cliche, I thought it fit the 50/50 theme well, but definitely cliche. im glad im getting some feedback about the engravings, I know its hard to get right and itās something that im going to put a lot more thought into, as I donāt plan to have an engraving on the protos.

Update! Sent the machine shop the CAD file tonight. Prototyping has begun! Cant believe im going to actually hold something Iāve designed in my hands soon, itās such a surreal feeling. We went with the green color, havenāt really got a negative about either color so the grey-lavender is still the go to color for the production run as well. I have plans for 4 of the protos for when they arrive, what do you think I should do with the last one??

I think you should do a giveaway on yoyoexpert. I like @AKYOYOMIKEās idea except a lot of your tutorials are more advanced and some of us arenāt there yet (meaning me). And Iāve never really won a Giveaway And itād be nice if I got a free yoyo since Iām poor lol

I was measuring some guts to try an estimate the total weight and we were able to bump the weight up slightly. Got it to an estimated 59.89 grams! Hope that hits the sweet spot for you Garrett haha.
@100FatYoyoDads not too sure about a giveaway yer, everything is up in the air. Could give it to a reviewer but im not sure.
