Stuart Semple changed his name to Anish Kapoor, because only Anish Kapoor has the rights to use Vantablack for artistic purposes.

I think there might also be export restrictions, but I'm not sure.

The beige/brown fans give me a woodgrain vibe more than anything. Straight white would probably be more popular with LED folks imo.
