Title: [IC] Keeb Streamer Deskmat (New Versions!!!)
Post by: Beaniekeys on Tue, 25 April 2023, 21:13:20
Keeb Streamer Deskmat

The idea was a meta one, a streamer's desk on a deskmat. The idea for the deskmat was to simulate a streamers desk (top-down view) with logos of companies who have supported me thusfar! (affiliates and sponsors) I did ask and received permission from all the companies/vendors to use their logos!

Unfortunately, I'm not the most talented drawer, so I drew up the concept and had @mechanicalkirboard (Instagram) do the graphics for me and I think it looks incredible!

Check out the design below! Do help me fill out the IC form if you're interested!

Just swap it to ISO and avoid that issue all together.

You put two ISO enters on this despite not liking ISO. Interesting move. You also put the wordmark fro KeebCats, a UK vendor. I'm quite enticed by the prospect of celebrating UK keyboard vendors, but this might be a little too much. Consider a bit more variation in vendor logos?

My other feedback is honestly I'd like this more if there actually just wasn't a keyboard in the middle at all. Make it a BYOK thing.

Im not too sure what you mean, theres no ISO enter in this drawing. But yes I did put KeebCats in since they're an affiliate of mine. In terms of variety, I'm only putting logos of vendors that are affiliates or sponsors of mine so thats all the logos for now.

In terms of the keyboard in the middle, I did think that at first, but I thought it would be nice to have a design there if you don't have your keyboard on. But a no keyboard version can def be considered if more people ask for it!

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!

KeebCats' logo is an ISO enter, that's what I mean. Sorry if my joke didn't quite land. Definitely will consider a version of this without the keyboard. :thumb:

OH I see sorry haha but yeah I can consider a "no keyboard" version if more people mention this too! But for now, I will have a logo version and planning to make a non-logo version.
