Got em
@here - I’d like to get the YYBC 2025 Commemorative Glass going, but we need a design! Show me what you’ve got, and we’ll vote to see which becomes the glass for the year!
Also, it’s about time we clean out some of the other YYBC products. The following products will be gone at the end of the week:
- 2024 Commemorative Glass
- Workhorse Sticker
- Workhorse Holo Sticker
- Workhorse Polo
- YYBC Logo Polo
That looks like a superb layout for a glass for sure. I feel like you may have some competition though. That is a solid design for a glass for real though.
Thanks, Steve—your compliments mean a lot to me.
And you’re very right! I think I have some competition ahead…
Also, I tried keeping the yo-yo simple, but I wanted it to resemble the Workhorse… it does an okay job at filling the Workhorse shaped hole in my heart.
Looking good! We’ve got our first entry!
Posting this here cause my post in the other thread was too saucy and had to go. Nothing special, Butterfly with brushed finish and 5/16 brass axle
I wasn’t super happy with the logo I made, so I changed the rhombus to a blue color…
An absolutely massive improvement.
What version of butterfly is it?
Okay so it’s just a draft.. so excuse the bad cursive, overall rough coloring and shading. Etc.
But I think some of little mushroom girl with, a Workhorse magically floating above her, would be nice. I’ll work on it a little more. Perhaps simplify the design I’m not sure. I just wanted to get opinions so I can see where I should improve.
For the commemorative glass. However for a glass I feel this may be a kinda crazy design.
The cheapest. Current release with plastic that can spin around without tearing itself apart
Looks super cool! I thought you turned it for a minute it’s obvious it’s a butterfly now that you said it. Does the bigger brass axle change the play a whole lot?
Is that a pen blank tube?
That was my first thought too.
Brass tube is from the RC hobby store near my house. It’s for building steam engines, but I use it to make Pipa Belare when I can’t get ebony or rosewood.
The Butterfly did get a few turns to get the lines of the brush finish parallel, round off the sharp bits on the rims and make the dimples even, but not necessary for this mod.
Weight distribution is interesting, worth trying on a better yoyo since what the butterfly needs is more rim weight rather than less hub weight. Texture of the brass isn’t great but more friction on the string loop than steel.
I think this looks cool as it is. If not for the glass, then on a black t-shirt or a black coffee mug
Seeing some of the other submissions, and the kind of moon look, and space theme, in tandem with the Workhorse release this year, and all the chatter about yoyo shirts. I immediately thought of the ICONIC Three-Wolf-Moon design, but with howling Workhorses, lmao!
YYBC 3-Horse-Moon
OK! Three entries so far! Lookin’ good!
Thank you for the feedback! I liked the simple galaxy workhorse cause it is just so easily recognizable lol
