Welcome to the GB Thread of GMK Taegeukgi!
Taegeukgi, which stands for the Flag of South Korea, is a keycap set completely revolving around said flag.
And as its name supposes, the keyset takes advantage of the natural beauty of the original, specified colors from the flag:
PANTONE 186 C (RED) and PANTONE 294 C (BLUE), while adding GMK's WS1 (WHITE) to be the balance between those 2 bold colors.
This set features additional flag- and korean related items:
- The Taegeuk (태극, The traditional Korean Symbol on the Flag)
- The Trigrams (괘, called geon, ri, gam and gon)
- South Koreas national flower (무궁화, Hibiscus syriacus (or Korean Rose))
- Gyeongbokgung (경복궁, former main Royal Palace of Seoul)
- Bune Tal (부네, one of the 12 traditional Hahoe Masks)
I really hope you enjoy this set.
Kits are designed to support as many layouts as possible.

Some exciting news today:

(of course including Salvun Artisan and all Deskmats)
Final numbers will be available when the GB ended.
Hello everyone.
Just a couple of news for you:
1. Not really a news, but just wanted to confirm that the order has been made with GMK
2. We just did a third run of deskmat protos to 100% make sure the they look exactly the way I want them to look and don't have any 'bad surprises' with the final mats.
(https://i.imgur.com/e0bTNbH.jpg)
Final mats are: TOP, MIDDLE, TOP
3. The PANTONE Chips have been sent from me to GMK and they arrived with them a couple of days ago.
I will keep you posted through the whole process.
Yours truly,
SMOKEY

STAY SAFE!
Amazing news everyone!
GMK nailed the colormatching first try.
I am very surprised. Colors are spot on accurate.
Colors have been approved for production.
In am sure you all know how difficult is to show the colors on a photo. In reality with the plain eye, the colors are a little bit darker and more saturated.
But here we go:
