My Design, Gambit: pics on page 8: ALL GAMBITS SHIPPED

Gambit for me. Not Telos, because nobody will ever pronounce it correctly (the pronunciation guide won’t always be handy!)

[yomagic (2Sick Joey)]

Telos caught my eye. You can pronounce it however and it’s still going to sound similar. Telos mean an ultimate end which I thought was fitting.

I guess the world at large wouldn’t care that I would pronounce it “Tell-ohs” (with the “os” part sounding like the end of “Helios”, all greek-like)

[yomagic (2Sick Joey)]

If you pronounced it like that it still sounds pretty similar. I’m pretty sure the name is Greek as well.

The design looks amazing! Dimensions and weight are all down to personal preference though. I would like it even more if it was a tad smaller, but maintained the same weight.

Perhaps 54mm Diameter with a 41mm Width…

As far as names go, you need a unique company name first. The names of your yoyos should be related to the company name.

I love this idea I heard a while back on the forums.

Company Name: High Seas YoYo Company (HSYYC)
Logo: Perhaps an old, gigantic sail boat. like a pirate ship or chinese junk. Done in a cool tattoo style. With stylish text of course. A boat wheel would look great as well.
Model Names: All ocean / boat themed.
Examples: High Seas Dinghy (undersized), High Seas Tanker (oversized), High Seas Skipjack, High Seas Tugger, High Seas Trawler… There are like 100 cool boat names. The possibilities are endless!

Just an idea.

I talked to the owner of crucial and he said he could do $500-$600 for 10 yoyos.

if you really think about it thats a good at about $50-$60 a piece

50-60 is very expensive since that price reflects only machining them. That price doesn’t factor in anodizing, bearings, response pads, etc. Plus you are only getting 10 so you won’t really make a profit. Runs with higher numbers yield a cheaper price per yoyo but cost more to get it started. You make a better profit with bigger runs. I’m not going to make any profit at all and I’m definitely going to lose money but I’m not in this as a business or too make a bunch of money.

I ment If your using them just personally use rather than a company it’s cheap.

No, $530 for ten assembled yoyos then like $40 from there.

This is a personal project and I’m not starting a company so a company name isn’t needed. I do want to come up with a name for the yoyos which I have said a few I liked. Just have to think about that more

Out of the names you listed, Vanguard is the best in my opinion.

[DrAwesome]

I think biohazard would be an awesome name

If only you would turn this into a company… Such a good design

[yomagic (2Sick Joey)]

By the way so everyone knows, All the 6061 protos will be solid color anodized: Blue, Gold, Clear with some being blasted and unblasted. The 7075 protos will be raw.

Super excited for these to be done! Already ordered bearings and some velvet pouches for these! Have the axles already.

I used EMS but Landon made it in AutoCAD which the picture shows

haha the past 2 days ive been messing around with EMS pretty simple and good for the price

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what is EMS? Somebody mind directing me toward it? Thanks

Also, the throw looks pretty cool. Certainly unique! Weight seems quite generally distributed.

EMS is the acronym for the CAD software EMachineShop

I find it to be very beginner friendly and is substantially easier to learn then many other software’s. Its free as well which is great!

What do you guys think about these possible logos? These are the three names that I have narrowed it down too. There will be minor change to the middle one (will be in black/white or color) and the last one (with be spelled Vanguard). Let me know what you guys think.

Shout-out to Jamesmay for the logo designs and dealing with this out of the kindness of his heart. A legit member and an excellent graphic designer! Thanks a ton man.
