I like how CLYW has combined almost all of these… I like splatter the most. ---

What’s the different between splatter and splash? ---

I think splatter would be more random dots/small splotches, where as splash would be more random larger areas. Speckle would definitely be small dots. Personally, I like solid colors, clean lines and symetrical presentations. Keep it simple. Having said that, I’ve seen lots of NICE looking yoyos on this site for sale, but many I would not even consider purchasing due to how they are decorated. ---

I love acid wash, though I wish companies would use fade a little more often. Speckle is reallly the only one I don’t like. ---
