Favorite shaft graphics thread

[Urb]

Another oldie:  EI-70.  Metallic British racing green.  Pure class.

I wanted to start a thread to discuss the best looking graphics of all time, allow people to discuss their favorites. I’ll start! Tour AD DI orange is just an all time classic. The bands, the orange, just perfect and iconic. My other personal favorite would be the Motore Speeder series. Just classic, I love the name and that whole series looks awesome (I miss my 6.1!).

 

What are your favorites?

The white and red .2 tour specs are probably my favorite graphics all time.

I gotta throw this one in here.  The OG Grafalloy Blue.  It was so simple and so recognizable at the time.  Between the color, the name, and the way it was printed on the shaft it just felt very classy at the time.  

 

A few others I loved Aldila Tour Chrome, Matrix Radix, and a Talamonti (can't remember the model) in a really cool yellow.

The OG's will know...

IverX and ShaqX both looked really good in matte blue that bomb squad was pimping back in the day.

Another vote for the VF.  One of the prettiest shafts all time especially the color scheme.  Kiyoshi purple and the Ozik lime green shafts have also gotta be in the top 3 of all time prettiest shafts as well.

Another vote for the Aldila RIP shaft look. The  different eye color to designate flex was genius. Aldila X-torsion shaft graphics right up there too.

When brainstorming what to do with the color of the Ventus Blue 2.0 (Velo+), bet dollars to donuts somebody at Fujikura's office in CA came across a picture of the Graf Blue and thought...

Oban kiyoshi white and the Fubuki earliest models with the throwing stars.  Just a sucker for a white pearl gloss shaft I guess.
