You can actually try putting a white board marker against a spinning yoyo and that creates a topyo-swirl-ish kinda look. You can just draw on yoyos to modify colors :joy: Swirls Splashes Fades Etc. You can even put a marker against the rims so that the yoyo would look like a bimetal :joy::joy: ---

Square Wheels was the first thing that came to my mind too, and the Rebel Macrocosm, which was a really wild thing with the unicorn skull and everything… ![m1e](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/7/6/d76c49fabb27f298b010020aabe3241c5b4662b7.jpeg) ![m2e](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/4/8/848c0f15fccaf8dd43b9572b0b1a6404781df082.jpeg) ![m3e](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/b/4/3b42a248fee41515734a2d83108a07de1ef43579.jpeg) ---

That looks remarkably the same as the famous raincorn swirl. ---

I would suggest that the praise for swirls really belongs to the anodisers. It is evidently not as easy as making a brush stroke. The anodiser who did the previous G2 swirls was an incredible ano artist. ---

Absolutely. But but constructive feedback to improve a technique specific for yo-yos and colorway choices play a role in a nice final project. ---

The silver one is also very interesting. They must have masked off a galaxy because that black “stripe” isn’t just dark… it’s full galaxy in the stripe bits! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/0/d/f0d53f97efb072bb2ba6ae7da5eb04fafc9a4e03.jpeg) ---

Posted to Flicker in January of 2010 so it was done in 2009. If you go to the link you’ll see “For Dave”. That’s me. I asked Justin (Vendetta to anodize this for me).

None of these examples, modern or 8+ years old, have matched G2 in their swirl prime though: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/7/c2723c6f5e6f71a164d9010413ba782e2088e01a.jpeg) That is just 🤩 The recent G2 swirls haven’t been as good as the classics from 2016-2017 IMO.
