Gosh, that PCB is a thing of beauty. Besides being a sucker for black soldermask, labelling less really seems to make the labels more useful.

I think maybe the regular black would be more beautiful than the matte black, it wasn't really what I expected. Adding fewer labels makes the task easier for me ;-)

There's something nice about all that classic silicon on such a clean, modern looking board.

Thank you, it was exactly the look I was after :-) But the logo was supposed to be copper but it is "silver". I don't really know why...
