Digging the lighter option, might want to alternate the colors on the Function row..?

oh and.. icon mods!

I believe I prefer the darker coloured blue in this particular schema.

I really like the pastel color idea. I hope this makes it to GB as this has some serious potential. I like the idea of alternating colors on the func row too.

I messaged livingspeedbump, it sounds like we might turn this set into a Space Cadet meets Jukebox theme (Space Jukebox?), so there will definitely be alternating colors on Function row :)

Here's a quick edit with darker reds on alphas and alternating Fn colors:

I actually prefer the lighter pinkish color than the red..

I like a sculpted SA profile. However, I am not a fan of red or orange fonts. I do like a red accent key or two as you have shown in your concept scheme. I usually use a red blank for the Esc key and for the Right Ctrl, which I use as Fn.

I think the lighter option would be even better if you had red printed alphas instead of the orange, but maybe that's just me! Pretty great set anyway!

Echoing popular sentiments;
*Lighter blue
*Alternating F row
*Lighter pink on legends

I really like these colors.Could there potentially be a child deal for darker (not white, though I am not sure what color) alpha keys?

Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for your support!

I was on holidays for the past few weeks so I was a little inactive. I updated the mockups while trying to find a compromise between my ideas and your suggestions, please let me know what you think!

I am still thinking on making a Space Jukebox rendition of this set with all the novelties that come out of it, hoping to discuss this with livingspeedbump soon.

There's also an update for Adventure Night set coming up in a few hours, stay tuned :)

I like the orange and the pink.  I think I prefer the pink, oddly enough, but both look good.  I lik the initial blue vs the lighter blue in the current mock-up. I also prefer it over the darker blue that you previewed at one time in a follow-up post.

Is the current blue a more accurate representation of the color chip?  Is one available in the original blue you used?

The palette in the OP post is a little more accurate from what I gathered, but mockups from kble are still a little off, I'm working on it

Updated the OP post, now we have 3D mockups thanks to thesiscamper! :)

Post by: Hispes on Wed, 06 January 2016, 04:40:12
I am still digging version 0.1

I think the 0.1 blue was the perfect shade for this set (though I am only one opinion). The 3D mockup seems to use a lighter blue and a less dirty white. Is that accurate? The 0.1 flat render made the alphas appear more beige, which I like.

Why is no one else speaking up? This is a good set.

Thanks! We're not in a hurry right now, if the GB happens, it's probably going to be around mid summer / early fall 2016 so we would have plenty of time to tweak the colors :)

I love this idea, the original image with orange legends is what I'd go for...I would NOT be interested in GMK, only in SA or DSA.

Also, Orange and Blue is what attracted me to this set in the first place, so I'm only in for those colors...those happen to be the colors of the company i work for, and I have been trying to put together a keyboard based on that for a while now. This hits pretty darn close to what I would have designed.

I like this color scheme, I wish someone made it with yellow legends. I would be all over it.
Title: Re: [IC] Pastel SA
Post by: Seelen on Sat, 22 October 2016, 07:23:10
The more I look at the set, the more I realize the legend colors just aren't working. I took a good look at jukebox and that's a very different story. Orange and pink just don't have that same pop to them. Yiu have to be really careful when doing colored legends on white keys.

Sorry, I don't have a constructive alternative to present t you with, I just thought you might like to hear my thoughts on it anyways.

Also, the Nuka Cola keycap design is a big maybe due to copyright issues, we need to run it with GMK first

I meant the Gulf oil company theme, light blue and orange.

The legends were orange in the OP but the latest mockup has them in V1 red.
