[IC] DDR Arrow Keys

[i3oilermaker]

So credit where credit is due - DanGWanG came up with this idea and I am running with it.

Here is my initial shot at the SVG / Mockup / Colors

At this point I am looking for suggestions and interest level.

could you make the arrows neon yellow/green?

I'll have to look at the color ring...I don't think there is anything in a true "neon" but a bright yellow and light green could work

Quick Mockups...




I think I like Black more.

Color ones look better

I think the two greens look pretty good.

Green arrows on all 4 keys?

[ekw808]

That would be my preference. If I bought these, I'd have to start playing FFR again.

Ahahaha (^^)=b

The original images were the best imo.

[Sifo]

Interested

I'm game.

I like black arrows better given the current choices.

I'd be interesting to see these mocked up though:
black on yellow; black on green;
purple on blue; blue on purple;
yellow on green; green on yellow;

When I get home I might mess around with photoshop to see if I can get an estimate.

I think that if we're going to do this, we also need PIU arrows for either the numpad (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) or left side of keyboard (z, c, s, q, e).

Awesome. Thanks.
The green / yellow is looking too much like john deere for my taste. (This is why we have mock-ups, right?  )
I really like the purple on blue; blue on purple, but is there a reason they are so dim/dark?


Right now my vote goes towards purple on blue; blue on purple.

[i3oilermaker]

SP only has one purple and it is the one on the billiards set.  It is a lighter purple so I tried to match it, and then pick a blue that compliments it.

I will look some more at the color ring tonight.

consider me interested as long as the contrast is good. doubleshots?

Yea Doubleshots for sure.  I haven't thrown the SVG at Melissa yet, but I'm pretty sure it will comply with all restrictions.

[sth]

ah okay. still interested.

[i3oilermaker]

I still am like the original that resembles this:

[Djuzuh]

I'm in !

The first post one looked best imo !

[ekw808]

SP really needs to step up their purple game.

[DanGWanG]

This was my favorite song in DDR: 

[funkymeeba]

Nah, Dan. It's all about Drop Out.

I think the purple/blue combo is the way to go here.

[DanGWanG]

I'm digging the original design, btw!  What about some white arrows on the same base color keycaps?

I tried that but the contrast was not there...didn't look great.

[DanGWanG]

Ahh, ok..

As long as SP can make the arrows that thick, I think the original design looks great!

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

I like the first ones the best also.  I would definitely buy them if someone were to get them made.

[DanGWanG]

bump this up!  No other DDR fans?!

[Kellybear]

Oooh. I am interested. Would get this as a gift for one of my friends. He absolutely loves DDR. We went 3 times in one week recently ;_; He had to go back to Chicago for school so we stuffed in as much DDR as we could.
