What are the futuristic fountain pens out there? If you can, post pictures please.

Not sure if it's futuristic or just dang ugly.

A couple spring to mind.

 

Pilot Vanishing Point (and the Decimo and Fermo)

Pilot Myu 701 (and the M90)

Lamy Dialogue 3

Parker 25 is from the 70s, and looks like it just walked off the set of Star Trek. Is "retro-futuristic" a category?

 

Friend gave me a P25. Writes well, and apparently they're nearly bombproof, but I still haven't warmed up to the styling.

Parker Urban does a good impression nowadays:

Lamy Persona.

Rotring Initial (If you can still find one )

+1 to the Vanishing Point line (VP, Fermo, Decimo, etc.)

Another Parker no longer around and perhaps before its time, the Falcon. Nevertheless, I personally think that it has a very futuristic design and I'd love to have one with a fine nib please!

[AVITWeb]

Hmmm. Wouldn't 'futuristic' mean no pen at all?

seriously, the is a cool topic...interested in seeing more (because I can barely see past my Lamys.)

+1 on the Parker Falcon:

The Lamy 25P (from the 1970s) looks a lot like a Parker 25, and is also quite futuristic in my eyes:

I'm curious what you think a "futuristic" pen might be or how there could even be such a thing?

Didn't the early advertising for the Parker "51" refer to it as "Like a Pen from another Planet"?

A very ugly pen with a Rotring logo stamped on it; the design is inconsistent with what Rotring once stood for -- it's a perversion. Newell-Rubbermaid could have designed this pen under the Paper Mate brand to be sold at Staples. Welcome to a commonly-used strategy of conglomerates: play around with the brand power of its subsidiaries to charge a premium for mediocre products. The same thing happened to Ray-Ban sunglasses when Bausch & Lomb sold the brand to Luxottica...

I mean futuristic LOOKING pens. My ideas of these are the Pilot M90, Lamy 2000, Montblanc Starwalker. Pens like this.

Yet not one of those is a modern design.

I see a futuristic fountain pen as being a ink-jet printer on a stick. Imagine using a pen that can write with multiple colours at the same time (red in the middle, blue on the outside, with the occasional green stripe), or maybe even just swipe the pen across the page and have it apply your digitally recorded signature to the page (similar to putting your signature in a PDF).

 

Ha, you cold have a line made of cats if you wanted.
