OT: Modern looking knobs?

Sorry for the OT post...but there are designers here...

I am looking for modern looking knobs for a control panel application with a panel-mounted shaft encoder for input. So far every knob I've seen looks like it was either designed to go in military aircraft or dates back to 1970's designs. Simply put, they are UGLY.

Can someone point me in the direction of a supplier that might offer interesting modern-looking alternatives?

The only other alternative is to get them custom molded (I've already designed one in SW) but that's expensive and I'd like to avoid it.

Thanks,

-Martin

You do not like the SIFAM or Selco collet knobs.

I hadn't looked at SIFAM. Some of their "soft touch" knobs could be interesting. Need to get samples and see. Selco mostly has what I call "square looking things".

Thanks,
