[IC] SA Jurassic
« on: Tue, 20 March 2018, 01:06:30 »
Just started doing this a few hours ago in between watching Jurassic Park 1-3 with nephew. The roughest of rough drafts, hoping to get some community input. Some reference images: https://imgur.com/a/L5598

I am slightly considering not doing it in SA, but it just seems so fitting.


Working with these two primarily as of now. Colors from SP ABS: Grey: GC, Black: NN, Red: RR, Green: VV, White: WFK, Yellow: YY.


Alternate of above with a different Red (RAS) and Green (VBQ):


Some Novelties (subject to change):



Current Novelty Ideas fresh in my mind from movie:
Frog, DNA Helix, Mosquito...
Mosquito outline in "amber" or on yellow key
Charge/Close Buttons
Voltage/Caution Sign
Dilophosaurus in attack mode
Various skulls from "tour signs"
Egg from door to main visitor facility
Eggs in general
Barbasol inspired Shaving Can
Animated DNA Strand
Ingen Logo

Working on nailing the colorway before starting to add dinos.

Could do with a couple more novelties: "PLEASE!" for people who forget to say the magic word and "UNIX" so people know what kind of system it is by just looking at the board.

Fantastic ideas, I love this concept. The color theme is really fitting too

I don't know which "first one" you mean, it has changed a few times now.

Both look good as modifiers.

Novelties imo could do with a little more work, kinda look underwhelming on white keys. The UNIX logo also doesn't look all that great compared to the fancier INGEN one. I'm not too versed in UNIX history so not sure if there was an unofficial alternate logo perhaps that could be used instead? Or maybe it might look better in modifier colours. The one in the JP font looks good but doesn't doesn't seem UNIX-ish imo.

Also not too sure on the grey colour for the overall set. Going off the JP logo I think you should stick to the red, yellow, black and white. Maybe worth experimenting with some alternative combinations to include white instead of the grey, like white keys with red legends like in the logo text? Just my thoughts.

Just an FYI but some of those novelties would have to be pad printed since I don't believe SP does triple-shot caps.

They are just rough ideas at this moment in time. No novelties currently present are a "go"... except for the "Press To..." keys.

Yea, I am not familiar with UNIX history either. I was trying to find a logo for it to use, I'll try and find something suitable.

I'm definitely still playing around with the colors. It still seems off to me as well. I appreciate your input, thank you.
