Best looking lineup

Alright, putting OEM vs Component, forged vs cast, etc... aside what major manufacturer has the best looking equipment lineup?
I'm talking pure aesthetics there and not what you would play, could play. If you were to pick only on looks what is your pick or picks? You can list hates too.
Like:
Callaway - I like the looks of the whole lineup for the most part, even the new Big Bertha irons.
Mizuno - Irons are by far the nicest looking of them all
Ping - I use to hate them but like them now
Dislike:
Taylor Made - too much to them, I tend to like simpler looks
Nike - Irons are just butt ugly (see Sumo)

Hmmm. I don't really like any of the new irons. Agree with too much to them.
Miz. are pretty. Probably Titleist for a cavity backed club.

Mizuno irons, cleveland wedges, titleist drivers.
But I don't have any of them in my bag.

Just wanted to chime in here. I like the MacGregor posted above, but I think the Wishon 550M would be at the top of my list for best looking club.

Welcome to GolfHos!  I believe there are a few Wishon fans here. And one dude that hates him. I think. |

I think all the new OEM designs are nasty save a few of the blades. The OEMs are golfsmithing up their cavity backs and becoming a little to tacky for my taste.
Drivers: Nak, Versus and Geek are the best looking IMO
Irons: Wishon 555c or 560 mc, Maltby MCC
Wedges: Scratch or Eidolon
The only OEM club I'd consider buying would be a Taylormade Burner. I always liked the burners and I hit the newer one with some success.

The common theme in "what irons are pretty?" threads is that we all love the aesthetics of blades. No one nominates the Glider X or any other very playable iron.
Personally, I always thought the Titleist 690.CB was a glorious iron, for a cavityback. Same for the Macgregor 1025s.

For irons, nobody touches the Miuras. You know, if price were no object, and I could actually play worth squat.
All modern drivers are butt ugly with the possible exception of the Louisville stuff.
For wedges, I like the Fourteens.
