i think its just the 'retro-er' version of the wheel. Same wheel, just a different logo.

I remember Orange Plus with a white logo as well. Longboard store used to have them, maybe a year and change ago....

edit: They still do, these. They are Orange plus, 89a.

The orange plus and sublime zigs have/had their logos in white.

I guessing it was to make it easier to differentiate them from their orange and lime counter-parts.

I think both the sublime and the orange plus (creamcicle) zigs were "limited edition" pours. Then Mr. Chaput decided to make the 77a Pinks, and the 89a "darker" Oranges in the "normal" production colors with the normal graphics.

The translucent 78a red Zigs have always had the white graphic:
