Rings
It's possible that the most mature galactic form is the ring galaxy, in which all of the radial motion has been converted to angular momentum in a rotation around the center. In Figure 1 we can clearly see the old, yellow galactic nucleus, surrounded by the young, blue stars in the ring. Also note the twist in the ring.
