I think the font was “Arial Black” if that’s helpful.

Hmm, I got the banana from the internet, are you allowed to sell it?

Edit: I found the original photo, it’s free to use but it says an attribution is required. should I PM you the link for the image?

I’m kinda loving this. So far, snoop’s design has my vote!

If you guys really like the logo, I could make another version and clean it up a bit? I would not be offended at all if you chose not to use it.

I could also figure out how to fit a yo-yo in there somehow?

Do it! Although, your original version is pretty perfect, I must say.

Agreed. I love it just the way it is!

I won’t change much, just fix some mistakes, center it a little better, add the year + YYBC, stuff like that.

Yeah

I’ll try to work on it soon, I don’t have access to my laptop right now, it’s just a bit too loud. (6:40 AM on a Saturday, of course everybody else is trying to sleep!)

If I can’t work on it today, I’ll probably work on it Monday. (And don’t worry, you guys can give any input you’d like.)

I didn’t expect to be designing a logo… pretty neat I guess, it’ll give me something to do! :joy:

I just realized that I never officially made a request to join the elite ranks of the yoyo boomer club. That said, I hereby officially request membership.

Spent part of the day tinkering with more 3D printed responsive yoyo prototypes. Very close to something I’m ready to release the designs for. Thinking I’ll call it the Honeycomb, and there will be a fixed axle version, and a take apart version using a tiny MR85 bearing. Pretty sure the design is finally there after 11 iterations, so now it’s time to select a color scheme instead of random filaments I was trying to use up. I’m thinking yellow, natural/clear, and tan, to make it look like an actual honeycomb.

That’s awesome! I was literally just thinking about threaded heat inserts for a take apart design! I don’t have a soldering iron and last time I used some inserts I just heated it with a blow torch and it went so poorly :joy: might be time to make the investment.

I’ve used the heat set inserts a lot for other 3D printing projects, and a cheap low wattage soldering iron seems to work best, but even that can be finicky. I can imagine the blow torch method being way worse, lol! I’ve got a couple of old cheap ones laying around, and would be happy to send you one if you want.
