I like the original Kira weight, but here's a thought: the part that shows through at the bottom seems pretty small compared to the large 1800 case. Seems a bit unbalanced. (I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my subjective opinion, the small centered ornate design on the huge plain background is not flattering either of them). I'd rather see a full rectangle of the weight below the case, with the logo engraved (and whatever other text).
Thank you for your suggestion. The truth is, I don't really want to do what other makers have been doing, and making another rectangular weight just feels so lazy and unoriginal for me. This is also why I don't stick to just one design for the sides. If people like it enough to do a small run then that's great, if not then it's okay too. I'll just try to keep on coming up with new ones until I've lost interest or more likely, money
).
I understand what you mean about the weight design looking a bit small, and I think that is true for the 60%, but for this layout the sun and stars are the right size I feel.
tldr:
There are enough boards with
that one look, and I'd like to do something that's at least a bit different.
If blue is picked as one of the two colors, will it be close to GMK Hydros?
It will be a brighter blue than the prototype, I think I already have a sample and I'll try to find it.
edit:
I forgot to say, I am trying to come up with a new weight design for my next projects, but this board will stay as is.
