I'll end it tomorrow since this is already pretty much dead.
Tomorrow is also exactly two weeks from when this poll began.

Good on you Frosty, I think this has been buttered up enough.

Now lets see what came through as the MOST popular because anything other than that despicable "Windows" Logo will definitely be a genuine improvement  :thumb: .

I'm going to assume that you are aware that there is a lot of crossing between votes on both gears.
Also, I know that you don't want the gears anyway ;)

It's okay, Elrick. Bunny and I don't give a whit what polls say. :)

Give the people what they didn't know they needed, not what they think they want.

Always knew you guys were true, independent people, here on GH Central  :thumb: .

So far every key-set that has come out of CTRL/ALT thus far has been brilliant and unique, looking forward to your final pick here.

I can add up unique votes for gears to pursue that option if we want.   :thumb:


Also, the comments that people left are only visible to me (I think), so I will forward those along to FrostyToast.

Poll has been closed!

After further review, the gears (13 and 19 votes individually) have 24 total votes from unique members. 

Terminal is the "clear" (by one vote) winner, with 25 votes.  :)  Along with Velocicaptor.  ;)

My suggestion would be a simplified version of the switch the keycaps were made for. A plus in a rectangle for Cherry MX, and a circle with tabs for Topre. Could even color the MXs as an indication of what the board has (easy identification from one picture on, say, a forum of some kind). This eliminates any sense of exclusion or elitism. Because no matter what sites you go to or what you use the board for, we are all captivated by the mechanics.

  • Smiley face is silly but I like it, it was on Miami wasn't it?
  • I don't know what I'm looking at with the glider.
  • I like the gh+do but I feel like it boxes you in a bit if people just want an os key rather than a novelty
  • the diagram looks kinda cool but I don't get it
  • the super meta looks nice but I've never been really big into the diamond icons, just a personal thing,  I understand that's the meta icon.
  • The basic computer just looks a little visually busy, if you could simplify it some more it'd look pretty good.
  • The terminal is pretty standard, I've always liked it so I'm on board with it
  • Smiley Prompt implies Windows, really, so it stops being universal.
  • The infinity is pretty alright and simple
  • I don't know what the kih is but it looks pretty cool, admittedly.
  • blocky os is alright but I don't know what the design is supposed to imply.
  • Fat/Thin gear is nice but I like thin better.
  • VELOCIRAPTOR BEST ALL OTHERS LOSE GG 10/10

Wait, what's that? Polls over? WHY DID I TYPE THIS ON A MOBILE KEYBOARD FOR SO LONG WHEN IT'S ALREADY OVERRRRR

I like the infinity symbol, but deriving from that, what about a circle with two dots centered on along the horizontal? Kinda like dubsgalore's old avatar, if anyone remembers that. I don't know what that was from, sadly.
