But to be clear - you want artifacts with color identity here, yes?
Alara has a lot of great examples (in the colored artifact theme), but don't forget about new cards like Gearhulks!
Old card? What? I would never just submit an updated version of a card from August 1st, 2016, don't be silly... This is "100% new..."(Or not...)
Made this before i knew of this discussion, how many are we allowed to submit here?

@sorinjace - I didn't see a limit.
Lol, I'm just kidding.
EDIT: Indeed I am horrified XD I try to fix the execution of this otherwise intriguing concept a few posts below ^^
This is my coloured artifact
The main two twists I included since the last version are:
- Increasing mana costs for about everything. For the protection effect I based myself on things like Protection of the Hekma but for the effect that punishes creatures that deals damage to you I honestly had no idea how much it should cost without playtesting it, though I know revenge effects are also in white's part of the colour pie.
- I gave a reason to equip multiple times, so you can't do all of those effects with a simple enchantment. It still would definitely not be worth it to add all those rules to have equipments doing what an enchantment could do, but it's mostly for the flashiness of the effect that it's interesting.
I like the whole concept for the colour pie weirdness it creates:
1) Both giving power (punishing creaturs that hurt you) and toughness (preventing damage) are strongly tied to White's part of the colour pie.
2) Each of the additional effects have the colour associated with that effect if it was on a creature... except thy create really weird colour pie bends when they go on a player x) I had the choice of putting either the true colour of the effect or embrace the weirdness of the colour pie strong bend that it created. Obvisouly I went for the fun choice >.<
a. BLUE's players with flying can only be attacked by creatures with flying is the weirdest because that's not part of any colour's part of the colour pie. It's anthetical to GREEN's ability to have "Creatures with flying can't attack you" like Sandwurm's Convergence . Maybe blue is actually the right colour but there's really no precedent.
b. BLACK's player's with deathtouch is basically "destroy creatures that dealt damage to you this turn" and is very white.
c. RED's player with first strike is basically "deals damage to attacking creature" which is also a very white effect.
d. GREEN's player fighting creature is basically "Deal N damage to a creature, you lose life equal to its tougness" which I believe would be a black card.
Though I have no clue how to put the image on here, here's one I made recently. Sheoldred above all others!
Also if you are going have it equip on a player, make so you could equip it on a planeswalker or player instead to give something existing artifacts don't already do.
This should help you post images and links:
