[REBRANDING ALERT] The future of Bingecap - HungerWorkStudio

[Binge]

Hello interested peoples.  As things progress with Bingecap I'm going to be easing into a new name for the collective effort that goes into my work.  It's a family operated thang and I feel like Bingecap was just sort of the name that was most easy to crawl into to keep everyone familiar.  I'm sure you've also noticed that I intend to do more than just keycaps.  In the future I'd even like to release some figures/functional statues along with prints, and of course the keycaps.

I intend to call this venture HungerWorkStudio = HWS = Binge + Wifu yadda yadda you get the drift :3

Talk amongst y'selves...

I don't think we can accommodate this request on short order.

[suicidal_orange]

Do you really think a simple name change the name will confuse the gator enough for a hassle free sale? I don't think you give him enough credit )

[inanis]

I love the new name.  I can't wait to see what you have in store. It sounds like it is going to be amazing.

[sncbraxsc2]

HungerWorkStudio sounds great!

I'm excited to see what you have in store outside of keycaps. I have a really plain white desk that could use some logo/art decals or figures or something!

The idea has probably been thought up already but I thought it would be cool to replace one of the F row clusters with a set of 4 artisans that when combined make a lightsaber. I thought it would look dope with some green/purple/blue LED play

Thanks for the update!

Just to remind everyone.

Hello fellow Mech users. Bingecap will be no more after the new-years. I started this as a solo project in late 2013, but as time moved forward and the projects became more ambitious/involved I have formed relationships with other artisans. The mission, objectives, and scope of work are changing too much to be Bingecap any longer.

The changes that will be taking place.
* Bingecap.com will simply become an archive.
* We will attempt to keep the mailing list. Might not succeed.
* Potential for webinars regarding artistic processes/mods.
* A strong push for collaborative efforts with other artisans/manufacturers.
* Revisions of existing mold designs/discontinuation of molds produced in early 2015.
* New designs, characters, and product types.
* Possible photo wall for customers who want to post their mail-day pictures.
* Logo stamped keycaps of molds produced in 2016.

To address an issue I know is fresh on everyone's mind I want to be clear that I intend to leave no loose ends.

For example the question comes to mind. What about Hyperfuse?

The state of Hyperfuse orders I would like to assure people is no cause for alarm. My wife and I are working non-stop with the postal service and [CTRL]ALT to make the keys promised to us are made available to our customers. The miscounting of NUM ENT keys from our supplier has caused heavy delays in the shipment of packages. I can understand apprehension regarding the security of your order, but we still hope to resolve any concerns you may have with how this is progressing. Please reach out to me at info@bingecap.com if you have any questions. The last thing I want anyone to do is wait to contact me and get mad that contact has been sparse. There simply has been no developments from where we were 2 weeks ago in waiting for the shipment of keys to complete our original order of 100 sets.

Case and point that we are not purposefully delaying packaging for any reason- all packages which do not contain Hyperfuse orders have been sent out. Although this might infuriate Hyperfuse buyers please understand that it makes me very livid as well. Your orders should have been out and were able to go out weeks ago so long as our original order had been completely fulfilled. It's been a rough first time doing this for us and I imagine some of our first time customers are probably not going to grace us with their presence again. No hurt feelings here we understand the pressure this puts on folks when they are given reason for concern.

That about wraps it up. I'll be around today to answer questions regarding the transition here. Please ask if you have any!

Can keys under HWS be called Food. As they will sate my hunger for awesomeness??

Should we call your old caps HungerWorks caps also?

I just call KWK/KBK's Punks b/c it applies to all his caps.

I'm a little perplexed tbh, because Binge himself started the Post your Bingecaps thread back in 2013. 

Binge, halp!  Identity crisis is afoot!

I really don't want to tell people what to call my stuff... the name Bingecaps just sort of happened because at the time I had names for my caps but I didn't brand my creations.

I think they are cast caps by Binge.  That's how I describe them.

I'm not going to change my handle here, and I'm not going to say it is wise that people recognize say, a cap made by my wife, as a Bingecap.

The change to Hunger Work Studio was needed to grow.  Here's an example,

Who made this stuff?  Oh it's made by Hunger Work Studio.  Which artist?  Oh! WidgiePidge!?  I guess that is Binge's wife.

Anyone who works with me gets recognition.  That's the goal.

bro-- it's guys like you that called me bingecaps before I ever had a chance to name myself anything.

[HoffmanMyster]

Haha it's been awhile, Binge, I forgot!    But you're right, the community picked the name and you ran with it.  Thanks for clearing that up. 

Rebranding makes complete sense and I support it.  Would you be opposed to someone calling the caps that HWS produces Hunger Work Caps?  Or do you prefer Hunger Work Studio Caps?

[trees]

"Caps by Binge" sounds super fancy.

[FLFisherman]

"Caps by Binge" sounds super fancy.

A little too fancy. If I were to get any of those caps branded like that I'd probably have to buy a whole new "fancy" keyboard to match it.
