I'm working on a legend to be possibly printed by wasdkeyboards. I'm pretty satisfied by the end result but I still miss the winkey legend.

What would you suggest? I don't want a stylized windows key, maybe something Linux related (but the tux doesn't go well with the rest of the keyboard). I'd like something original, funny and geeky, I tried with a space invader alien but not completely sold about it. The key is also called "super key" so maybe the superman S might be an idea, but it doesn't fit the layout simplicity.
Ideas? Thanks!

What about one of the quarter sections of the Windows logo? That would be simple.
-
yeah, if I can't come out with anything more original I'll end up with a quarter-winlogo...

Very nice. Love the minimalist design. The only thing that annoys me about that font is the Q. It looks italicised compared to all the others.
What about a shape from Pac-Man? Either Pac-Man or a ghost would look pretty cool there.
Otherwise, if you wanted to go with something that looks like Windows, I'd probably choose a simple 2x2 grid square.

pacman is a great idea. I'll give it a shot. thanks! (I'd gladly avoid anything windows related)
I agree the Q feels weird, I was thinking to add a segment to the O and make the Q

couldn't resist! :)

HAHA. Creative! I bet a groupbuy for Pac-Man mods that went something like that would sell, IMO!

I’d go for the archlinux A. :P

You can do the generic "diamond" for super. I've always liked the look, and it's pretty minimal.
If only you could get dyesub spacebars, pacman then some dots on the spacebar, then a ghost mod would be great.

I like the fancy function symbol F keys.

I don't know if I should keep it serious and place a diamond or leave the pacman :)
