Have psi lost the plot?

I've not had much time to browse suppliers web sites in the last six months so it came as a bit of a shock when I checked out the latest releases from psi.

What the heck happened?

What sort of pills have their design team been on? The most disgusting array of designs that are on an aesthetic par with a car crash. There are some right shockers with some equally appalling names. How's about this for a pen name for starters - "faith hope love"

What?

Fillibella, montague, bling, Compton, cowboy, Phoenix rising, skull, skeleton key, shimmering crystals, curvado. These are all outstanding examples of their latest abominations, boy are they truly awful. I thought that gothica thing was bad, but these sink into the depths of truly bad design and awful names.

Means something to Americans about as depressing names used around the world for kits more confusion. Feel so sorry for retailers trying to keep in touch.

OK I must be in the minority , as I like some of the new pen designs. the steampunk pen kits rock. As for the gothica pen set it gives a lot of options for design . We live in a time when you can get a slimline type pen everywhere you look. The option of having a pen that stands out and is not sold by the million is always a desired option.So I say, go for it and don't be conservative in your choice.

Welcome to the forums Steve, it is good that you have an opinion, i wouldn't be put off buying something that i either liked or just wanted to try, because someone else doesn't like it .. What a world we would live in if we were all to dress a like .. :ciggrin:

I love different, it's a shame they are not easier to get hold of, I couldn't care less if the majority of people don't like something, it's what I like that matters.

Welcome to the forum.
