Are there any good guesses what the logo is supposed to mean, yet?

More clues... The letter "S" is very unique. Straight line at the top and loop at the bottom.

If this is some kind of new site launch marketing scheme, it is working. I cannot figure out what the logo is at all.

And just on packing/postage alone, this person has put quite a bit of $, time, and effort into it.

Each addy is hand-written on the envelopes, right?

Could it be Ragnorock? He has done quite a few GBs and probably has a ton of adresses.

Ok guys...looks like I have 7 days and counting.  Received mine in the mail just now.  Postage was from Rosemead, CA 91770.

Hashbaz , hataa, and sherryton most definitely do not have my address.  Imav does (via RACE pre-order), Qtan does (via several orders from vendio), EK does, Demik too.  <--Those are the only people I've done business/traded with in CA that I can remember.

How many of us who received the keycaps donated to Geekhack for new hardware?  I think these keycaps have something to do with those donations.
I've dealt with Demik, but you bring up a good point: iMav. I think I donated to GH once, as part of a payment for keycaps. iMav having my address wolud me a lot of sense. He HAS been quiet about this.

Mine didn't have a postmark by the way.
See: Neither did mine.
Quote from: metafour on Mon, 30 July 2012, 18:28:41
The internal packaging seems to differ as well. Mine was just in a small bubble mailer. It looks like someone had theirs in a little plastic bag and someone else had theirs with packing peanuts and tape.
Inside my bubble mailer, was a plastic baggie with 6 peanuts.

I think my mailer might be different than most of the later ones. My address had been typed up and printed off. The mailer had 4 "USA Go Green" stamps, and a president Washington one for $.20. I would get a pic, but my camera isn't available.

Haha, trust me guys it's not me.  If it was, I have too much of an ego to keep it hidden.  I was just hoping to get one, but I recently moved so....if I was going to get one, it's probably lost forever in the mail now =)

I know he already denied it, but I think it has to be i3oilermaker. He ordered all those keys on the sly from SP for his website launch, and these started mailing out around the same time as the launch. You must have help with the distribution, right i3? So others are probably in on the secret, as well.

I can assure you if I was brilliant enough to pull this off as a site promotion, I would have made a logo related to the site.

My guess is Rag.

that's a good thought there. maybe everyone that has received one is in fact in on the secret now.

i.e. source mails 3 keys out to userA with a note and postage included asking them to mail out 2 of the keys to others.  so userA mails them out to userB & userC and that explains the post marks from all over the country

also, I haven't gotten one of these and Qtan is the only one of the "suspects" who doesn't have my address.....

Personally I think it's tsangan or hash.

Hash in cali.  Just got his Moogle r3 also.

Tsangan using stamps because his PayPal issue and mad connections all over the world.

Could also be i3oiler since I don't think he has my address and plans to surprise me with one in person! :)

And I did donate, but I don't get why donating would result in geekhack using that money to make keycaps and spend more money sending those out.
