What can one say?

That's most definitely done with laser engraving, an extremely precise way to get what you're after, but shame for not spending a little more time doodling on Adobe Paint. Two of the Moollon guys are artschool grads who did heaps of metalwork and sculpting, which is why they do acid etching despite the heap of time it takes to buff and detail each pedal. Laser engraving was an early option for them, but as artfolk, they felt not having a handmade exterior would somehow not be right. Sure, when the process is done not a single pedal is identical to another (and many get tossed), but they're hardly a factory.
