So what does your ideal yoyo look like? How does it play? What color is it? Does it exist? If so what is it?  
Post it all here!

Ah I remember making a thread like this way back, it’s cool to think about having a signature yoyo ;D

Mine would be …

Low wall Multi-step/step straight(whatever u want to call it) V shape with a slightly concaved cup for Fingerspins

Diameter - 57mm  
Width - 46mm  
Gap Width - 4.3mm  
Weight - 64g  
Bearing - Gold NSK  
Response - Snow tire(CLYW) sized Irpads  
Material - 7075 Aluminum with steel rings  
Finish - Light bead blast  
\*Comes with neon yellow YYSL AMMO

I think the YYR Overdrive is the closest one in terms of specs and Orbis in terms of shape.

Haven’t tried the Orbis but I LOVED the Overdrive

Width: 45 mm  
Gap width: 4.7 mm  
Weight: 67.5 g  
Would like a KK bearing but don’t really care about pads. Low wall of course. String preferably thin of any normalish type. I don’t pretend to be a genius at making yoyos, so if that design stinks or isn’t durable or whatever, you’ve got a good reason.

</div>

Mine would be kind of like a shutter like shape. More if a v shape. Very rim weighted for stability. Also quite wide. About 50mm.  
It would be quite wide, with a heavy bead blast. A ceramic kk bearing would be size c. One drop flow pads are nice. It would also be good  
For finger spins, like the Elysian. It would also be cool if there was the option if hubstacks.  
It would be orange and black splash.

Check the tenyoyo wet whistle out. It is basically what you described minus the hubstacks and not the color.
