Post by: kmiller8 on Fri, 20 December 2013, 10:08:44: not interested, pls scratch me off the list.

I kid, It looks ok, I don't like the green personally :s but I understand limitations of available colors and all.

The purple/orange also looks weird.

I like the concept OuO and like the fact it's something different, other than running the same colors again and again and again

You called? :P

I really like the purple but the alpha colors are close to Miami. Maybe that orange/gold color should be on the alphas?

Regardless, I totally agree with kmiller8. It's great to see something different. Especially something colorful :D.

Post by: kmiller8 on Fri, 20 December 2013, 10:14:57: Actually, I think it's the green/purple that looks so weird, why not pick a different color for letterings?

Brighter green and deeper purple.

All these suggestions would mean it's no longer Joker though, the colour scheme he has is the colour scheme for Joker in the comics and cartoons. A darker green wouldn't really work, jdcarpe's suggestion of lighter green and darker purple maybe could though.

Post by: Matt3o on Fri, 20 December 2013, 12:06:48: 1) we don't have a darker purple

2) lighter green is feasible but it comes out a bit "fluo"

You should call your new design - "TOXIC" or "Fatal" or even "Noxious" key-set.

In VAT and RDA?

It's a very vivid combination, like I said not "joker" anymore. If there's interest I can add some evangelion symbols to the mix.

PLEASE if you apply any 'extra' graphics and/or symbols make sure it's not childish (under 12's) type of expression. It needs to be tasteful and above all else 'timeless' in it's execution. You don't want to see it next year (2015) and wretch at the sight of it, thinking .........what have I done?

Then it finds a nice cardboard box to sit in, for the next 20 years or so.

Yes, sorry for my ignorance here....... being Italian, you know excellent design graphics - quite well. Would love to buy the standard kit, maybe because when you're older the simple it is, it will last far longer than outrageously designed 'youth market style', which is here today and gone tomorrow.

he used more brilliant colors that are not very close to SP ABS real colors, but I like his version too. Anyway no reason to keep the "why so serious" key.

I wish him well because you know what running a Group Buy is like? It could easily go bad with little provocation due to some trouble makers wanting to possibly derail a GB just because it suits them.

Sifo ole mate, will be releasing details as to what profile you'll be using for this key-set?

Needless to say I thought I'll suggest the all time GOD's profile "SA" as the ONLY front runner here. Please only consider SA as it's the best quality set-up for all keyboards currently available.

Any other profile would be a complete waste of plastic, just pointing out the facts here concerning this awesome profile :thumb: .

This was actually the original plan... we're going to run both and see if it would be worth doing both. If not then we'll take whichever one is more popular since SA's not everyone's thing, but DCS is trash. No DSA unfortunately

GMK would be my vote and probably my left hand, alas I doubt this color way will garnish that much interest.

I wish GMK would be in the picture but their moq is still considerably high. I see poor Ivan trying for months to get a decent amount of people to sign up and he had to drop total key-sets so that a space-bar and/or esc keys can go ahead. That is tragic along so many lines that the only way to get GMK to make anything for us are single "esc" keys or "space-bars".

With SP we get the whole shabang and so this is why SP is always on our list here at Geekhack. Just so glad that SA gets a solid look in here because we just need more of this very fine profile that is open to so many interpretations with endless colour-ways.

I personally love the Green and Purple done in SA, what more could you ask for? If it helps I'll buy 4 complete sets plus any extras, to help this baby along :thumb: .
