Check Out ColorWare's Custom Apple Pencil Pro With a Crayon Design

[MacRumors]

ColorWare today introduced a clever new range of custom Apple Pencils that have been designed to look like crayons. ColorWare is known for its custom-painted Apple accessories and products like AirPods, and the company sometimes does unique limited edition designs.

The ColorWare Apple Crayon Pro is available in seven colors, including black, mint, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow. Each one has a custom colored tip and a matching wrapper, all of which is painted on a standard Apple Pencil Pro. ColorWare previously did a custom Apple Pencil designed to look like a number 2 pencil, but the custom crayons in multiple colors are even more fun. With the attention to design, the Apple Crayon Pro does indeed look quite a bit like an actual crayon.

ColorWare has been customizing Apple devices for more than a decade, and it has perfected the process for a lasting finish. ColorWare uses a multi-step coating system, including a primer, a proprietary color formula, and a liquid plastic coating to protect the color. All products are warrantied for 12 months.

Because ColorWare is using a standard Apple Pencil Pro, all of the functionality of the Apple Pencil remains intact. The Apple Pencil Pro works with the M4 iPad Pro models, the M2 and M3 iPad Air models, and the A17 Pro iPad mini.

ColorWare is selling the Apple Crayon Pro for $215, and all colors are available from the ColorWare website as of today. Orders ship out in about two weeks.

never seen Crayons that long ...
And the price - quite hefty

looks cool. Does Crayola have that design look under a copyright/trademark?

These are pretty cool. If I didn't already have an Apple Pencil, I would consider it. Definitely not worth a double dip though.

Somebody, if they haven’t already, should make one that looks like old school #2 pencil.

For a moment, I thought it was a full set of like 12 pencils that automatically render in the corresponding color.

They did! It’s right in the article, link and all.

I hope that is a joke, or did you just not read the article.

Dbrand does this I believe

This is really cool. I am not much into the iPad, but if I ever do go back down that road I would love to buy an Apple pencil like that.

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[sleeptodream]

Give me cerulean and I’ll consider it

 

[contacos]

I'd loose that in a day cuz it doesn't stand out anymore if you know what I mean

 

[CPx]

That's pretty neat!

Does Crayola have that design look under a copyright/trademark?

Yes, and also the smell, according to a Google search.

I would imagine that the licensing is a chunk of that high price since it says Crayon on it.

IP attorney here. They'll have a copyright over the design and a trademark in the name and trade dress.

Needless to say, this is officially licensed.

Edit: I updated this post. Please see response below.

Time for someone to do one better and investigate "Electrofluidic Systems" and how that can be applied, to have the Apple Pencil match the colour one selects in the app. What would beat that, a Colour changing Pencil ! ;-)

Depression era joke:
Man selling apples on the street.
Woman approaches: "How much for an apple?
Man: One million dollars!
Woman: You won't sell many at that price!
Man: I only have to sell one!

Change apples to pencils
Change One Million to $215

Now all we need is a sucker with too much money.

DBrand does indeed have a wrap that looks like a #2 pencil. I had one on my Apple Pencil for a while. Stuff like this is fun, but I found the novelty wears off rather quickly.

Serious question. No one is likely to confuse their product with a Crayola, IMHO. For example, it says crayon, although the script is similar,and while it has stripes they are a bit different from Crayola’s. In addition, there are a lot of real crayons that are similar to Crayola’s but without the name. Beyond the cost to defend the product, do you think Crayola would have a strong case?

The best part is on that page they say DO NOT SHARPEN...lololo

For that price also the animation needs to come in that theme. Man man man.

 

[sffun]

I love ColorWare stuff, wish it wasn't so pricey.

 

[HiRez]

OK, but you'd better be able to eat version 2 though.
