Inaugural flight of the UK exclusive monogram edition

I have been on the hunt for a Rimowa original cabin for over 10 years, and finally, on my last trip to the UK, I managed to get one.
I'd been eyeing the London flagship exclusive monogram edition, in British Racing Green, as the yellow one for the NYC store looked too washed out.
For the overall finish, it looks like the monogram is anodized green through a screen or mask, rather than it being painted or applied like a sticker. And then the whole two outside shells have a very fine matte finish that looks like it was maybe beadblasted. So it's less shiny than the regular finish. Overall, it's dope.
I know that others on this subreddit think this is too gauche to have a big ass Rimowa logo, but in person, it's large and abstract enough to read as a large graphic, rather than a recognizable LVMH logo.
These pics were taken just before my inaugural flight back to the US.
