[IC] "Paw" Fundraiser Keycap
« on: Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:18:13 »
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.
No, he’s not around. How that sound to ya? Jot it down.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
