Just contemplating things and stuff. I really need an upturned nose, so @longhairedboy 's scarlet may not be my final choice.

The molecule is C9H13NO3 (Epinephrine) also known as adrenalin! The symbol kinda looks like a cross section of a brushless outrunner :smiley:

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! :tada:

That’s a good observation on the other one, but it actually has a much darker side…:wink:

I thought it was the symbol of the empire in star wars…but I could see it being the cross section of motor :smiley:

I do custom griptape jobs for all of my builds, personal or customer, electric or not. Most of them I do by hand, but I have a laser cutter for the second somebody asks for something more complicated

All hand, super happy with it

@cmatson You really seem to like the stealth fighter style. I do too. The logo, carbon fauxber, and all the angles work really well. Almost to pretty to step on and ride. And all by hand? Well done. :clap:

Yep, I’m happy with how it turned out-

Was initially just going to clear grip on the logo (like it is now) and regular grip everywhere else, but the board was wider than the griptape, so I had to start cutting it up and improvising!
