Title: Smash Bros. Keycaps
Post by: killazys on Tue, 18 June 2013, 08:06:11: Has this ever been done?

Keycaps with these: (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs26/i/2008/167/8/3/Smash_Bros__Logos_by_TriforceJ.jpg)

If not, how does one... get these done?

It has not been done no! A few of those have been done in similar styles though, mainly the mushroom and Yoshi egg.

To get them done, first, an Interest check to gauge who would want them, and due to copyright laws, they would have to be dyesub from Imsto. There is currently one novelty cap buy running with imsto right now, so maybe when it is done and shipped, this can be a viable set.

Hopefully if this gathers some interest, a usual GB runner will step up and run it.

Pretty sure SP won't touch them because of copyright issues.

They wouldn't touch these with a 10' pole. I mean, the Toro GB was barely Totoro, yet it was canned. No more SC caps from SP too. I think the only reason we got away with Luigi, Mario and Wario..is because it's just a letter in certain colours, not an actual copyright logo?

I think that is because it is a fairly common logo that actually predates The Legend of Zelda. Surely some of these are viable?

Keypop has tri-force from Zelda as well. Also have "Chickobo" from FF series. They might be lax on the tri-force since it's a kinda basic symbol, not really a character like most of the Super Smash ones are?

also the triforce has evolved to include the eagle now.

It could be could cool to try and match it with actual letter keys (like initials or something).
Not sure every keys would find a proper letter to be matched with but that'll change the "only fits the top row" that we see so often. (actually most of the time :s)
This could be even better to make a full set out of Nintendo's characters, eventhough this would cleary break a copyright or two XD

Well if copyright is a bother we can always contact Imsto :p
