Title: [IC] GH60 metallic stickers
Post by: jdcarpe on Sat, 05 January 2013, 10:10:06
I am trying to gauge interest for making some metallic stickers for the GH60 project. These would be similar in quality to the fantastic Cherry replica stickers brought to us by Shadovved.

If you have any logo designs you feel would look nice stuck to a GH60 case, feel free to submit them here.

If there is enough interest, a group buy will follow. Probably around the time of the actual GH60 GB, or as an option to be included with those orders.

I only have xp's paint atm. Round shapes in ms paint, oh the horror. I sort of like the rectangular shapes though. Might do something more neato when I get back to a proper computer. At least people can discuss around something.

idea for smaller square sticker, think about the size of a 1x1 keycap.
(http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp349/lysol8086/Untitled-2_zps43b39b0c.png)

I may be in minority of using the plastic case, but I also had idea of getting some actual engraved metal plate 'sticker' to replace those of Poker or Pure found on the case bottom.

This is way too big, as it's 2" x 5" but this shows what I came up with. The correct size would be 3cm x 6cm.

I think I will affix this to the bottom of my blue imsto alucase and mount my GH60 in there. But there is something I need to do with it first. I have to desolder all the switches, though.

I think it would be cool to incorporate the logo to the PCB too. I'll get the final PCBs printed more or less in 1.5-2 months, when the group buy ends, so there's plenty of time.
Anyway, here's the quick logo I made for the prototype PCB. Not sure which font that was...

It's not a font, it's custom made. Although I believe shadovved has a copy.

You're both correct.

1. Aggiejy created the header graphic.

2. Shadovved has vector graphics of the font, which he used for his "geekhack" stickers.

How about a little tail on the G leg, and not totally square on the 60? I'm just thinking out loud here. Those look great already. My suggestions might make it look worse. :)

Glad you think so!

I'm thinking maybe a usb tail on the keyboard itself? And yeah the squareness of the 60 bothers me too, I was already planning on changing it, but good catch! I'm gonna sleep on it and work out the kinks later for a 2nd draft. The 3rd draft will probably be the final for this design.

Also the bottom text could use a change in font...something about the typography just seems off. I will get to the bottom of this!

I love JD's plate and given the amount of detail in the logo, I think that's the only way to do it. To do a sticker, there would have to be a change in the logo design -- specifically, the keyboard

I talked with Shadovved about making a metallic sticker in multiple colors so that it would match your switch, but the keyboard in the logo is just too small. If the logo can be tweaked, then I think having a red metallic for MX-Red swtiches and a blue metallic for MX-Blue would be super cool.

Of course all this depends on the size of the sticker. The larger the sticker the easier it is to do the keyboard.
