Well, I wanted to do this on DT.. but I dont know if they would have been happy with me running a GB on their forum so I saved it for when we got back to GH.

Anyway, it's simple. I want to raise money for an animal rescue in Los Angeles. It's called hope for paws (your can visit their website here... just watch the fiona video and you'll understand) They do incredible work, and it's a two person team IIRC. A guy and his wife. This man has spent hours trying to capture a dog in the desert. Has traveled to Florida and as far as Israel to help out animals. He truly deserves all the help he can get. He's also a non profit, so he survives on donations.

This is what I was thinking:

but with White Legend + Red Keycap

Either that exact image (need to see if I can use it without any problems) or something very similar.

Keycaps will be 3 for the first, 2 after the first.

Shipping will be 4 CONUS/Canada and 6 international. ALL proceeds (minus w/e I use for shipping) will go to Hope For Paws under the geekhack name.

Anyway, let me know if any of guys would be interested in it.

Technically this is 100% tax deductible =O

im still under the 20k to be worrying about paypal taxes

but i wont use the tax break for my personal benefit.

hashbaz · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:36:00 »

Definitely in for a few to help out the animals.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:37:42 »

I had these made, and was planning on selling them soon....

I could donate some of the proceeds as well.

rainb1ood · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:38:00 »

Interested here! My wife loves dogs especially the small ones

The_Beast · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:42:58 »

I like the white on orange the most, black/white combo next, but since it's for the puppies, I'll take at least 5

well that sucks.

anybody have any other ideas we can do that won't step on boiler's keycaps?

riffautae · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:14:20 »

Perhaps some simple animal faces. Or even an emoticon set :3

demik · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:31:16 »

open to just about any idea

Wildcard · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:31:41 »

I'll do 5. I like the GeekHack orange because it's saying "we support". Plus I'm thinking we could possibly avoid the setup fees and give a little more?

Rafen · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:35:34 »

I am very interested in this. I would take a couple if it was going to be the white on orange.

demik · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:38:37 »

if boiler is fine with it, we can do white on orange and to make them a little more "unique" i'm going to ask melissa how much it would be to have Geek Hack front printed on the keycap also

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:43:43 »

Yea I'm fine with that - mine are already produced, so there should be at least a month gap between them. Also who wouldn't want to collect all the colors anyways!

demik · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:52:17 »

or we can do something like this

The_Beast · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:58:53 »

a dog with 3 legs named lucky? I love it

demik · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:01:19 »

haha i just noticed that.

im pretty set on the paw doubleshot tho.

with "Geek Hack" front printed like Pause/Break is

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:05:16 »

What about a bone...something like this:

Glissant · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:24:06 »

I'm down if the key is a paw with front printing. Are you 100% set on the colors?

inlikeflynn · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:26:22 »

aren't I cute (yea I know too small of features)

This is a good idea Demik! I will buy at least 5

demik · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:27:20 »

bone idea could work.

colors im open to suggestions.

would you guys be okay with a bone instead of a paw? i want to start the GB ASAP.

btw, guys, go to the site and watch the fiona video.

boost · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:45:43 »

Glissant · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:47:32 »

I like the paw idea more than a bone. My wife also likes the paw a lot more than bone.

How about something on purple?

First big video you see when you go to that url.

I'd be interested in paw prints if they were just a paw, could branch out to other animals also and I would be interested. Eg, horse shoe, bird feet etc. However, no interest if it has writing on it.

demik · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 17:27:18 »

well, lucky for you, dont think it'll have writing on it.

little too expensive with front print. it would defeat the point of the fund raiser if a ton of the money will be going towards the product and not the organization.

so, as of now, it's paw only.

Snooter · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 17:40:52 »

I like the paw idea best, I would buy anywhere from 5-10 of these. I don't care what color they are I will just buy them to support the shelter. Anything to help animals shelters/rescues and I'm in.

dorkvader · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 00:35:53 »

I'd get at least one, for my orange-and-white cat.

It's too perfect to pass up, even if it's not PBT.

Awesome demik! I've heard of Hope for Paws from when they did this resuce:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llHU6opxWDk&feature=relmfu

I support multiple pit bull resuces and they always link to good stories like this on fb

Anyways, count me in no matter what the legend ends up being!

Elrobo · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 02:41:28 »

Definitely interested in like 3ish and could probably wring some from non gh friends who support animal rescues.

I liked the orange in the OP.

Tried to watch the fiona video but some jerk in here was cutting onions.

I don't understand why alternate images are still being debated. If i3oilermaker is okay with using that generic paw image that's on millions of coffee cups, bumper stickers and any number of other products then I don't see why the original design can't go forward. I love the orange. The black and white ones are great, too. I'll buy some of any color that's producted though. I have four adorable little Min-Pins, three of which are "rescues," so I'm all in for anything to benefit animals.

I can't seem to get any images to show, but I'm down for some random key caps. Consider me in for one of each color (as long as you don't produce 296 different colors and bankrupt me).

What do I need to do?

MadScientist46 · « **Reply #68 on:** Fri, 10 August 2012, 10:25:14 »

DaClownie:

You just have to keep your eyes open for some thread in the groupbuy section with the words "groupbuy","Taking Orders" and "Paw" or sth similar in the topic, which will hopefully open soon when demik has got time to do this and/or when there is enough interest.
Demik stated several times that this will happen for sure, so we might only have to stay frosty for some more days.

And btw, the pictures of this cap look amazing, trust me

What about paw prints across the whole keyboard, like they walked across before napping there? Maybe if the paw print were oriented sideways rather than up and down someone could design their own path across the keyboard. Might look funny for a single key though ... just an idea.

Key profiles might make this too difficult/expensive though since the cat would be stepping on different rows. (somebody with more knowledge please assist)
