Quote from: Ragnorock;444370

If they don't care about them using that on a T shirt on a highly publicized broadcast for a tournament sanctioned by Blizzard, they shouldn't care about this. Maybe add that to the argument RCT? That's precedent.

I can probably collect orders again and run it alongside nyancat if it can be done in a timely manner.

I find the probability of the thing working out the same time as nyancat to be low. (I've realized that fentek actually hasn't approved the artwork yet. Pessimist-me says its prob gonna get rejected.). If someone gets back with a decent quote and stuff, we could get them done together.

As for the Tshirt http://celisco.biz/shop/product.php?id_product=690. They are made by Jinx, who have license with Blizzard. At first I thought it was one from thehandsomenerd.com.

If you click the link above and look at the shirts tag, its Jinx (where i assumed you found the platinum and masters shirts). I think they may of discontinued it cos of low demand.

Maybe see if he can help out on the licensing problems? I'll send a tweet if you think it would help. Cos I dont know.

Also, to make some sc2 nerds really jelly:

Ok, So far all 4 of the manufacturers I've contacted have replied.

smartkeyboardsolutions.com won't do the designs due to copyright.
fentek is waiting for design approval and also they cost a $4 a key + setup. I'm asking them for discounts for at 50 sets.
Datacal and Synctronics, I'm awaiting further replies about design approval and quotes.

Fentek doesn't say but according to ripster and sixty they are identical

Quote from: sixty;248167

Fentek outsources their double shot keys to Signature Plastics. Unless they use the exact same molds and the exact same machines, there is no doubt about this.

I know Chinese so I can send a email or something if you find who makes the keycaps.

Thanks for the offer. No idea for finding manufacturers. I don't even know if anyone will do double-shot keycaps. I look around and everything is pad printed/lasered keycaps. But if we get a lead on something I'll let you know.

Yeah they seem to do pad printing or laser, rarely is it double shot

We have enough interest, but we are waiting for permission to use images from Blizz/other means to avoid copyright.

I am working on some stuff to get this done but January 1st will be the EARLIEST that I can have any progress with this within legal constraints. After that I will keep this thread up to date with what I am doing and what needs to be done. Unfortunately we are in the waiting game and as much as that pains 99% of GH its what must be done.

I'll just be patient. *is very quickly biting nails away*

For those who are/were interested. We've definitely got enough interest, but we're gonna have to wait as RCT has said.

I have the back-end interest among my mates of about 30-50 sets so its being done no matter what if feasible. And, as I have said before, I want these as much if not more than everyone else.

In for a set. Also, while you guys are at it clearing these images, would it be any extra hassle to ask them about the other sc2 doubleshot race keys? i know gb4 isnt doing it because of the same issue.

Cannot do that; these are justifiable for other reasons unlike the race emblems which are very much Blizzard's.

Can you use 2 colors on the keycaps to put some grey on some designs ?

or the keycaps can only have 2 colors? (natural color + design color )

The keys are doubleshot. Meaning the key itself is one color, and we can only put one more color on top of that. If we could do triple shot (3 colors) I would. Unfortunately we can't = (

You'd think i'd have it running if I could. = (

SP isn't making any copyrighted material, and these falls under that. We've good reason that these arn't as well as are looking for permission from blizzard to use them. Once that's sorted we'll get it up ASAP.

I want them even more than you do.
