Title: [IC] Belafonte Terminal - A Life Aquatic Inspired Keyset
Post by: onishima on Mon, 11 August 2014, 16:24:22
Let me tell you about my keyset.
Current stage: need suggestions!

(http://i.imgur.com/pAuDNoc.png)
Updated 8/12/14

I haven't decided if this would be DSA or SA just yet, but I'll put up a poll once I get enough positive feedback here.
This will be an SA keyset to match the time period/theme/style of the movie.

Typeface is Futura Standard book. Colors are based on the Life Aquatic color palette.

I'd also love to make this a back-lit compatible keyset, as I haven't seen many in DSA or SA. (only possible with black keys from SP) Would definitely have options for nautical themed modifiers, text modifiers, and misc. other keys with nautical icons.

Taking all suggestions, feedback, and criticism. Thank you for your time!

Your friend,

Onishima

----------------------------------------------

Aug 12 Update: Moved icon mods to separate set. I feel like the color scheme could be popular enough with Wes Anderson fans and non fans alike, so keeping text mods on the base set stands to reason. Added a few icon options per YoungMichael88's suggestion. I don't feel too entirely comfortable using icons pulled directly from the movie. Copyright concerns aside, my intention behind this is more of a keyboard you'd find on the Belefonte or Jacqueline Deep Search, rather than a fan keyboard. Something to go nicely with your Zissou Adidas sneakers.

Aug 13 Update: Heard back from SP. Results are as follows:

I've also noticed that the colors are going to match best with ABS colors. My hopes now are that dispute lack of premium features like double-shot and PBT this will be a fun, beautiful and inexpensive keyset.

Paging YoungMichael88...!
I like the idea but honestly, it's not zissou enough. It needs more to make it clearly life aquatic.

First off, this should be on ESC

You've got the lifesaver ring which fits but I think the seahorse should be replaced with one of the other members symbol on their logo here

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/12/unupu9uh.jpg)

I don't know how it would look in a double shot, there might be too much detail but I think this would be an awesome legend as well

Also, this would obviously bring up the price but if you could get the belafonte or even the deep search submarine on the backspace that would be amazing!

So is this going to be pad printed? Lasered?

If it’s double-shot, it’s going to be extremely expensive to make all the new tooling for legends in a new font. If it’s dye-sub, then you can only do darker color legends on lighter-color keycaps.

Hadn't considered that. These will likely be laser etched, but if getting them backlit seems viable I'd consder changing the font to make getting them double-shot is more financially accessible.

I really like the color scheme, but I would only be interested if it is DSA!

Thing is there are soooo many SP GBs that it will be really hard to stick out and even reach the 25 tier :(

There is a thread in Keyboard Key Caps subforum about Futura font Wes Anderson style keycaps: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61558.0

I suggest you PM jacobulus and design the set together. I don't think we need 2 Wes Anderson sets competing with each other. I think that together you could put together a great set.

Seconded.

I wonder if a multicolored jaguar shark keycap would be possible? Maybe replace the Anchor-Escape Key with a submersible icon?
Also, I love the movie -- but maybe make a kit without the Zissou stuff, in case some people just want the color scheme -- which is quite nice!

EDIT: Maybe make backspace key read: "ESTABAN!"

I love this color scheme. Very playful. One of the reasons I bought into Galaxy as well.
If you collaborate, try to keep the colorway "fun".

Thank you all for the suggestions. I've added a few things.

I'm going to contact Signature Plastics today about my options, but if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations I'm all ears!

As of today it seems like SA profile and laser etched is the direction we're going, but I've still got a long way to go.

YES YES YES.

I can't possibly explain how badly i want this.

EDIT:

We need a Jacqueline key with the crosses thru it if at all possible.
with Deep Search as a subtext.

Also +1 for SA. We have had enough DSA kits and this would look really magnificent and period correct with the SA profile!

Either that or a spacebar?

I know my Skull Squad set had 2 lines and it wasnt too huge.

Is there any chance this can be Doubleshot? I know they might have tooling costs for legends if its DS but it would be so worth it, so long as it didnt crank up the price too much.

That is good to hear. Also do you have a ABS or PBT color sample ring? The palette is so good but soooo specific and i wasnt sure if they had swatches to match.

That's something else I'm waiting to hear back from them on. Seems as though it's going to have to be ABS due to color availability on PBT but we shall see.

Now that I know pad printing is the only option for white legends here, dare I...?

I really liked the white, but I know pad printing isn't ideal. Thoughts?

AFAIK for white legends the keycap color must be darker than that on your demo-pics anways. Because contrast will be way lower when printed than on digital images.

7bits Round 4 has Blue with White legends, but id have to assume because it is a default font and they already have the tooling and this is futura and would require all custom legends :/

Er... At least dye-sub?

Also, as usual, I really suggest that you start the base set with alphas and move up to include

1. 60% kit
2. TKL kit
3. WKL kit (and 1.75 shift and control)
4. Numpad kit
5. Ergodox kit

before adding the rest so that users with smaller keyboards don't waste keys.

We would have to dye sub [meaning darker legends] if we wanted Futura.
Otherwise it's $45 per character [I believe]

We could double shot white in a regular font [wyse i think is our only real option, not positive]

Definitely - just wanted to get a good idea of interest before I went through all of that. I'll likely mock those up this weekend.

You're right - $45 a character for setting up a new legend with double shot. They CAN do pad-printing for white legends though...but I'd likely want to poll and get opinions on that. I'm not opposed but I think a few would be. Could be wrong though.

Anything in SA gets my vote, although I really don't want pad-printed. I really want to repeat this: doubleshot or dye-sub only.

What about engrave/fill? SP told me that they'd put this at the bottom of their options due to quality and price, but it seems like the only other option before I cave and make this a set with either standard fonts or do black dye-sub.

I know everyone's set on SA rightnow, but if this were DSA dye sub with the dark legends I would buy it.  Double shot white with standard font might do it for me, but I like the appeal of this font.  I am not attached to SA, but I understand if some people are.

Honestly I have Penumbra SA sitting in front of me and the legends don't look much different from your mockup.
My vote is DoubleShot in standard font, and to get a few custom icon/legends made @$45 a pop.
[I'd be willing to soak the cost of one of these so long as it's considered "my" mould that requires my permission to use in future buys, but I'm not sure the rules/cost on that.]

Smart man going for the golden choice of SA Profile  ;D .

Don't forget here on Geekhack no one buys PAD Printed rubbish because it's the ultimate cheapo, lazy option to go with.  Double-shot reigns supreme, although if you could find someone who can do successful dye-sub manufacture then that comes close to being perfect.

BUT beggars can't be choosers here because what can not be made and delivered don't waste time on considering it.  Go with the SP standard double-shot because it's the ONLY manufacture process they could do without too many stuff-ups.

Needless to say I'll buy into this Group Buy only for the SA profiles being offered  8) .

Haha thanks.
Yeah I noticed the other day.
I have no need for a star as of now,
I'll ask in the future once I feel more keyboard-accomplished.

Paging onishima!
I hope you're busy and still want to do this in the future.

Thought I'd stop by and apologize for letting this die.

You'll be pleased to know that Zambumon (of http://zambumon.github.io/) messaged me on Reddit and is interested in picking this back up.

Hope he doesn't mind if I quote him : "For now, what I can say is that I'll work on it with M1to and will also consult with T0mb3ry. The set would probably be DSA due to the current SP backlog, but Cherry profile will be also considered."

Sorry again, and I'm excited this is finally going to happen!

Hmmmm, kind of a cool colorway you got cooking here.  I may be interested in this depending on price point and child kits.

I'd love to see this come about. +1 for an ergodox set. If there isn't sufficient interest for that, I'd vie for DSA so it'll be easier to fill the mods up on my own.

YCF is a perfect match with the original mockups, the rest are as close as possible. Instead of RA we could use OB, but it would be way to orange.

I'd love to see this come about. +1 for an ergodox set. If there isn't sufficient interest for that, I'd vie for DSA so it'll be easier to fill the mods up on my own.

Ergodox, Planck, and Preonic would be covered.

In addition: Neutrino, Kmack Happy, HHKB-like boards, Whitefox, Winkeyless, FC660M… all those boards would be covered too.

Thanks for the input!

As Onishima said, I'm going to pick this project and try to see what happens. So far, I've figured out:
  • Color scheme: Based on Onishima's mockups, the closest colors are BFL (alphas), BX(dark blue mods), YCF(yellow mods), RA(red mods), and WCK(white legends)
  • Novelties: the current novelties and shouldn't be replaced. My intention is to find a couple more to finish the set.
  • Profile: I've been thinking about DSA or SA R3 due to the Novelties.
  • Child deals: Alphas or 60% as a base kit. International layouts: UK, Nordic, German, and probably some other layouts depending on the interest

The title isn't correct (and I cannot change it). The set would be Doubleshot DSA.

Just a heads up for the GH community, since another member brought the theme to light, me and Zambumon are working on this project together and the estimated release for our version is late 2016 (DSA) and early 2017 (SA). Feel free to make your requests and contribute with ideas, we are always listening. And again thank you @onishima for granting us the honor to develop and work on this fantastic keycap set of yours, we'll make it a reality. More updates and information coming soon.

I guess this was buried so far down in the "interest checks" forum that I didn't see it. It's great to see you guys pick it up with @onishima's blessing. And with input from @T0mb3ry, this is surely going to be a must have!

Hi Mito, really great colourway. Do you have any renders of the comprehensive kit and what layout compatibilities you will offer? I recently moved to a 1800 board and would be great to pick up a set that support that layout (if in DSA the profile wouldn't matter, so it's mainly the differentces in the numpad cluster and small right shift, along with provisions for some 1u blanks or 1u Ctrl, Alt and Winkey.

Keep up the great work!

I will not buy this set if it's pad printed.    Please make it double shot and increase the price per set a bit.

IMHO the Enter key should be red

I wonder how much a GMK set would cost with all new centered legends in Futura font on every key  :eek:

This is one of the first keyset projects I bookmarked, but I assume it's dead? after previous talk of resurrecting this project Zambumon ended up doing Nautilus instead.
