Title: (Zombie Apocalypse) key cap set..... Interested?
Post by: KuhnTang on Fri, 14 December 2012, 17:42:21
I can't post in the interest check section, I don't know why, so I'm posting it here.

My first Idea is the "Zombie Apocalypse" key cap set.  The picture is mocked up in Excel, and I know it's not very good, no need to tell me.  The point is just so you can see the color scheme and see if it is something you would be interested in.  Although not necessary, using a Mr Friday as the escape key would put a nice touch on it, as it fits the name and color scheme of this set.

note: I took the pic of Mr Friday from another post, it had a green 4:20 on the bottom right, I had to cut it out in order to zoom in, apologies.  Just don't let that become the topic of this thread please. 

Would any of you guys want to organize a group but?  I'm only really interested in PBT keys.

You can't post a thread in the IC forum because you don't have enough posts btw.

edit: I believe you need 60 posts

I like the idea, but I think the color scheme needs a little work.

I'm not set in stone on the color scheme.  If anyone else has input I'd be open to it for sure.  I really would like a zombie themed board though, so all ideas would be appreciated. 

Please, if you're interested, mock something up so people get interested.

Also, maybe we could get a few specialty keycaps for this set, if it ever becomes a group buy. Like a zombie keycap or brain keycap. A vendor could help out in this area maybe.
Anyway, just speaking outloud ^_^
And I'm trying to think of a good color scheme, the one you have up I like, but some of the colors are to dark for my preference.
(referring to F1-F12 and the off-hand right keys, keeping the F1-F12 would be fine, but maybe changing the others)

I never thought of a BRAIN key, but that's an AMAZING idea.  Even if the zombie set didn't go through I think the brain key would sell.

Thanks! Yeah I always thought a brain key would be awesome, and it would be perfect for your zombie set :D

Found this: (http://www.fantasycostume.com/images/bennyemakeup/zombiewheel.jpg)
Not all of the colors that come to mind in the "Zombie Apocalypse" field, but it's just a suggestion.
(But seriously, what part of any zombie is orange?) xD
Edit: Pus maybe^
