I suppose everyone has different tastes, but to me doing something that matches a vintage set doesn't make much sense. Sure, people (me included) go out of their way to try and get nice vintage sets... spending lots of money, etc. But it's also due to the scarcity factor. A Dolch set, if I didn't know what it was, is not very attractive to me. (And a white on black, black on beige is very plain... the beige doesn't even match most boards!) I guess I'm in the minority.
Don't get me started on RGB... again, aside from nostalgia, why the heck do people like these?! They're trashy as can be in my opinion. And this is coming from a guy who did ran a
big RGB group buy here... I've never considered leaving a set on my keyboard other than to take a picture. Yet, I own a lot of them... no clue why. I guess because it's because that's what people are making.
Again, no offense to people's tastes... I've just been kind of perpetually in shock at the design tastes with these things. My vote would be tasteful color sets. CCnB, whatever... but something new. (Go try to find a CCnG set in the classified! I'd have an easier time finding a NIB vintage set.)
I just hope that we don't try so much to recreate the past. This is (or could be) an opportunity to do something new and great.
My 2 cents, plus tax. I know lots of you disagree.
