[IC] Red on white sp double-shots?

[bavman]

So it seems that theres a pretty large growing demand for the Red Alert set that KBD did a while ago. Obviously it would be improper for us to copy their set with custom legends and get on their bad sides, but it shouldn't be a problem to make our own red on white basic set. This will use SP's standard text and legends so there would be no custom legends like the one on RA sets. This would make it cheaper for us as well.

Colors would probably be RA on WA:

Heres some different ideas i created with illustrator. Last image is messed up though cause i couldn't figure how to change the color of the menu key...but you get the idea it would be white on red.

Not sure if someone else was planning on doing this, but it would sure look pretty sexy

Please throw out your ideas/comments

and of course for ripster: GLWIC

Me in plz no custom caps  that will make price ri****

[Djuzuh]

Ragnorock planned to do such a GB soon I believe.

Also, we could use the cherry font replica.

[bavman]

Well if rag is gonna run it soon we'll leave it to him
I thought he was running the portal one again next

[Djuzuh]

He was first thinking about doing the red on white after the portal set, but changed his mind and will run both at the same time.

But I believe he said he'd put them up last week. So well.

[ekw808]

any of those other colors on WA would look pretty nice as well

[bavman]

I got the template from hazeluff's template zip. The nav clustor would probably be just regular sp arrows

Rag will post it any day now. I'll go with either.

[thegunner100]

The template with the red modifiers look amazing! Too bad it's still going to be made by SP...

[i3oilermaker]

I'm in no matter what this set end up looking like

[tsangan]

Rag is running it last I spoke with him

[longweight]

Let's do it with the Cherry font once that is sorted and get it done properly! I do think that it needs something a bit more interesting to make it feel slightly C&C though...

[tsangan]

Also WA is too bright I don't suggest it, RR would look better then RA i think also but these are just my suggestions

[demik]

Grey modifiers like topre alert!!!

[tsangan]

Grey modifiers like topre alert!!!

I would agree on this also but the red modifier isnt bad

I especially like the red G and red H

ALSO!

Dyesubs please, I went ahead and got pricing for the base 87 set along with tsangan kit and 10keypad kit also like 2 weeks ago when I was speaking about this set

[longweight]

Could the enter key say something like "affirmative" as a nod to C&C?

[tsangan]

Please no, but if yes please include a regular enter key

[bavman]

I'm not sure about dye-sub, although the pbt feels a little better than abs, but it'll drive prices to near $100 level if we do that

[longweight]

Please no, but if yes please include a regular enter key

Just a thought, this IC is really nice and I would just like to see it have a little bit more edge to it.

[Djuzuh]

Meh, isn't the point of this set to have some very aggressive red smothed by the white? Wouldn't dyesub remove all the aggressivity of the red?

[tsangan]

I'm not sure about dye-sub, although the pbt feels a little better than abs, but it'll drive prices to near $100 level if we do that

nope, its not that bad, 25%-30% more expensive yes, but the keys will last MUCH longer, and will have nice texture instead of shiny nastiness

[thegunner100]

I'd buy the dye-subs even if they're at that price level. SP's PBT is actually fairly decent, compared to their ABS quality. Just take a look at the nyancat keys!

Give us an idea of how this will look

Even better then imsto!

[Djuzuh]

nyan cat, meme keys are exemple of SP's dyesub PBT.

[thegunner100]

Even better then imsto!

imsto's keys are flawless... except for the white capslock

[bavman]

How about this vs red mods?

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51668[/ATTACH]

I guess it could be darker actually

[i3oilermaker]

Isn't the clarity of the legend much better on a DS?

that is what you want.

in dye sub.

[tsangan]

OH and we can do ANY FONT in dyesubs

[thegunner100]

Where can that red alert topre set be found? :O

Edit: Helvetica or Futura!

[bavman]

Really? could we get faux cherry ones then in dye-sub then without the extra setup charges?

[Acanthophis]

Comic Sans :bolt:

That for dyesub? WHAT FONT WOULD WE PICK?!

[bavman]

Heres one with slightly darker mods then:

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51669[/ATTACH]

I still like the pure white keys...they look sooooo nice :bounce:

[tsangan]

I have made my case for dye subs

-a bit more expensive
-MUCH better quality
-ANY font

DS
-Cheaper and that's it nothing good about it

[demik]

too bright for those mods.

a softer white would be better IMO.

also PLEASE lets pick a color that SP can actually match unlike what they did with kl's set.

[bavman]

The thing i dont like about SP's dye-sub is that not all the keys look exactly the same. Some of the legends shift due to the process. Like in the picture ripster just posted it can completely ruin a set

[Acanthophis]

I also would go for the dyesubs. But not with greyish modifiers. And maybe not pure white...

Depends on the GB organizer. If it was me I wouldn't have accepted it, knowing first hand I know SP will replace any keys are are done improper

well, we can make it perfect if we don't accept half assed work and we let SP know from the beginning

We can take our time and get perfect prototypes with the kind of interest in this set. Really, SP's dyesubs >>>> DS.

[tsangan]

Very very VERYYY true

[demik]

also, i really really think we should go for different color modifiers.

an all red on white is just... boring. the topre alert set is perfect IMO.

[MMB]

I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Do it. Do it...

[bavman]

We should definitely get a poll going then

[tsangan]

two tone is the way to go i think
