I can’t say enough about how weird of a 2020 this has been for everyone. The Cosmic Neutron Tesla from MVP Disc Sports would be the featured mold for this year’s Halloween release. This is a big deal because up to this point since 2014; no manufacturer owned by MVP other than Axiom Discs has had their share in the limelight.
This idea for the Grim Reaper came pretty easily and was chosen out of 3 solid ideas (2 of which may be saved for future Halloween’s down the road). While the Cosmic Neutron swirls pop, it’s extremely tough to get something to work alongside it. I felt like the reaper really had a strong composition that would help it stand up to the beauty of the plastic. Using bold foil choices would help aid it to stand out even more. If you look close to the rough and final design; I honored our marketing team and select MVP HQ employees with their own headstone. Everyone from the stamper himself to our social media guru, Will Davis. Toward the end, I saved pressure on the flat silver layer by removing the fill of the headstones. I like there’s a nod but I wanted the swirls to hide that small nod within the plastic qualities.
While I know the reaper has been done aplenty for Halloween festivities; I feel these small gestures and nods put this on its own plane. I hope everyone bought and enjoyed this year’s Halloween Special Edition. You can most likely find them at your local dealer that sells MVP/ Axiom/ Streamline Discs.
