[Closed/Postponed] Starcraft 2 League Keycap Set
« on: Tue, 25 October 2011, 20:03:25 »
The word is we can't make them unless we get permission from Blizzard.

This means that this will most likely not happen.

Sorry guys. We tried. (Ragnorock is still trying...?)

Thanks for all the interest. I'll let you know if anything ever happens.

Enjoy a MOBA/QWER kit instead?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm interested in getting a set of keycaps done for the different League emblems from Starcraft 2.

At the moment I've done some designs.

What do you guys think?

Want [ ]
Do not want [ ]

Btw, Unless we get enough people getting the (probably) less liked lower division keys (bronze-gold?), I'm gonna say it's going to be a set. Kind of like Ragnarok's Portal 2 set (but doubleshot).

The number of sets people are currently interested in: >50 sets (Enough)

Just posted in the other thread, but I'll run this too if you want. It won't ship out with my other group buys, but I could adapt my excel sheet really easily for all this.

I'm in, obviously. A set of doubleshots would be best imo. Diamond might still not come out too good, but we'll see what Melissa says.

= D Really? That would be amazing. Since I'm trying to do something, I may act as EU distributor if we can get shipping to be cheaper.

RColinTaylor said he'd help out as well and the SVGs are with him. He said he'd pass them onto Melissa.

As for the Diamond emblem. It seemed very dull without the little details on the diamond, so I added some stuff. I'm pretty sure we'll find a way to decorate it and still meet the specs to be made (or just remove them).

No I agree, the main reason I thought a diamond key wouldn't look good was because of the lack of detail, you pulled it off really well with what you did. I'm hoping that it does turn out decent as it is with no changes. We shouldn't get our hopes up too high (TL keycap) but it should look pretty good. The rest should be okay, but you may have to space out the "bars" in the lower league (and GM's wings) logos so that they conform with their specs.

Yeah I remember reading that when I browsed the TL gb. I'll fix em up later. I pulled this stuff out quickly to see what it would look like generally.

Sending out the email right now for these; having them checked out to see if there are any line-discrepancies...

Melissa is going to hate receiving emails from me after these last two weeks.

Getting them done at the same place, so they should be in the same ballpark.

Maybe a little more because they are new designs.

How bad would everyone feel about doing them as a set rather than individuals? If there are 7 leagues, they should be under $10 a set by the time ordering is done. Since we'd likely run them as row 4 keys, everyone could use them for their control groups, and the more you use... the closer to GM you get. (lol)

I like how you gave an example of how to use the keys. = D.

Yeah, I've subtly stated it somewhere that it'd be a set. Unless we get a good amount of buys on every design.

This looks like it might get somewhere. = D

Well since I, like many others, don't have too much use for a whole bunch of Row 4 keys with the Portal keycap GB AND the SC2 race keys, I'm finding myself hard pressed to figure out where to put all the other random ones I want lol. I need em to make sense!

(Also why I wanted the Japan key to be capslock, or maybe even tab, since my modifiers are all going to be SC2 keys.)

The solution is buy more keyboards.

If there was one fewer key I'd say we could do the delete to page up set of 6... Thats an often overlooked section of "useless" keys.
