Man, people have really been coming out with some flashy-ass sets recently. Honestly, I couldn't see myself using anything like that, but some people on here definitely seem to like obnoxiously bright sets like this.
Also, this should probably be in interest checks for future reference

You should stick to the proposed logo and have orange legends on green caps for alphas and orange on blue for modifiers.
Also, if tilde is blue, then should also be pipe/backslash, in my opinion.
But seeing how many people like GMK skeletor, there seems to be a market for these sorts of sets
Not OP obv, but here's a super lazy mock-up I made with TalkingTree's suggestions in mind. I also changed the orange from OAV to OAS.Maybe modifiers should be green legends on blue caps, to make a sort of gradient to the alphas.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/u6lhSE4.png)

I'm not the biggest fan of bright colors, but with Scooby-Doo being my all time favorite cartoon, I would buy this set for that reason. I can't say no to this :thumb:

Here's the OP's second option with fonts modified to more closely represent Signature Plastic's font size and placement.

OP absolutely nailed the theme with the colorway and I could appreciate it but it wasn't something I would have considered buying.
I think Pinecone's second mock-up refines the concept into something that probably cannot be improved upon unless novelties are added.
(Attachment Link)
The problem is in designing novelties that don't infringe on Hannah-Barbera's copyright. Scooby Doo's dog tag would be a great novelty for the OS key but probably can't be used. I think Mystery Machine would be a great name for this set and, if that is the OP's intent, he should change the title to reflect that. Yet, as good as this looks on the screen, I can't help but wonder if it would be too colorful for a keyboard.
Also, OP (admgc) of Green Screen was gone for almost a month before coming back and resuming work on his set. With so many key sets in the pipeline, there's no need to race to the finish line.
God this makes my eyes bleedGlad to hear you like it!

I made this using SP's recent grab bags unintentionally, and then I remembered this. Not too bad.Not as bad as I imagined. Hell, we have a He-Man set about to go into production. Might as well try a Scooby-Doo set.

Alright, I'm back in full force (sort of). After my inbox died on Reddit from people asking if this set will be real thing, I figure I'll give it a shot. Here's a base kit mock up of what could possibly be "Mystery Machine". Profile unknown since this is preliminary, of course. Your opinions will be much appreciated :thumb:

BOTTOM ROW IS SUPPOSED TO BE R4. My mistake, and I'll go edit it later ;D ;D ;D ;D

Blue: BBQ
Orange: OBC

Now this, needs to happen. I am going to try to get this out somehow. I really want this set.

I love this! So much want.
Your mockup look great! Green caps will be better if they're darker a bit.
PS. What is the name of the font used in your mockup?

Colors are still tentative and since SP's SA queue is so damn long (I heard the rest of 2016 is already booked), might have to switch to GMK or wait forever.
Font used is Gotham Rounded.

Zoinks!
Yeah there is no way that this can be SA and get here in a reasonable time. It could be DSA or GMK. I would be in favor of GMK.

I'm for DSA or GMK as well. You should update the OP and add the new images at the top (don't delete the old images, so people can see the progress that was made :) ) and change the title to something more enticing, if you have the permissions. I updated my OP post with GMK color codes.

Yeah that would be a good idea. I will update the post right now. I really like the way the set is going and I think it would be really nice in DSA. I dunno about interest though, it is kind of hard to gauge. I don't really want to make another reddit IC post for a little bit so I might put this on hold for a month or so just to wait for everything to calm down and then run the IC. I really want to make the set happen so I am definitely not going to give up on it. I think updating the blue was a really good idea and it makes the set pop a lot more. I think DSA is the way to go too. That way you don't get anyone saying "Its just Troubled minds and Pulse" since it will be in a different profile and plus the legends are completely different and the orange is great. Anyways, I think that is the game plan as of now. I don't really want to just spam the sub with tons of IC's all the time, that will just create less interest.
Likewise! I can only throw so much money at boring "classic" black/white/grey/beige sets, so having something different and bold is great, in my opinion.But seeing how many people like GMK skeletor, there seems to be a market for these sorts of sets
I agree, I was a Skeletor buyer. For me, I'm just looking for something different. Colored mods + colored alphas on white can get boring sometimes. Although I have some decently colored SA/DSA sets, I like keysets that are bolder and a bit adventurous.
You do what you think is best. You're spearheading this set. I'm just getting the ball rolling :thumb: I think for now we can leave the profile open to what people feel like they want, DSA VS GMK. Both manufacturers have the colors we want.Yeah there is no way that this can be SA and get here in a reasonable time. It could be DSA or GMK. I would be in favor of GMK.

As for profile, GMK could be interesting, but their colors are limited.
What about SP DCS? I know there are some detractors for DCS, but done well, it could be done with bolder colors than GMK, and with better prices. SP's wider range of colors could match the Mystery Machine better. Furthermore, there hasn't been a DCS buy in a while, maybe time to revisit the profile again?

In regards to people possibly saying "Its just Troubled minds and Pulse", I disagree. There's only so many colors to use and there's already a long-debated colorway ownership dealio, so I don't think it'll be an issue. Besides, this isn't some arbitrary design. There's pre-existing inspiration from it (Rooby rooby roo!)

That is a possibility. I think we're keeping our options open so that could definitely be in the fold, if people like the idea. I personally dislike DCS :)) :))
I would totally be in for this.
One suggestion, maybe BBJ instead of BBQ? I've always thought it was the better color of the two, personally.
You should also remove the pic with SP's color swatches since only the green (VAT) is correct at this point ;)
If anyone has feedbackPls no

by the way the renders and colors don't match
The "render" still doesn't match the color chips :))
Hey guys I posted this IC a while ago but is just getting some attention now so I figured I should update the post. This is the new and updated version of the keyset. It will most likely be SP DSA or GMK. If anyone has feedback or ideas for novelties let me know. I would really appreciate any and all help.
Just some background, I grew up watching Scooby-Doo and it was my favorite show as a kid. I thought the colors of the Mystery Machine were really cool and I figured it might look good on a keyset. This is what has become of the set since. I have had a lot of help from people like Pinecone who have breathed new life into this old project. I think the biggest and best change from the original was updating the blue to a more vibrant shade. Anyways guys, thanks for stopping by!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/OCN7HF8.png])

I like the new look of it. Very nice hues & hope this is possible.
Would love to see this in DSA.
You know, if you wanted to get some Scooby brown in there, how about the numpad number keys being brown, and the keys surrounding them being orange or green?You meddling kids!

(this could make the set resemble both Scooby and Shaggy, depending on the green)

That could be adapted! Thanks for the input. The initial concept was inspired by the groovy Mystery Machine, but we could add more character-personality.
"Scooby Snax" should be one of the novelty keys.

That is a good call. I will work on novelties. I need to find a better way to gauge interest first though.

Some recent buys have proved that some bright colors may called the attention of a decent amount of fellows as to create the hype to reach MoQs, some of us though, prefer form over function, but who we are to say something about these new sets, so I really hope this makes it.

Some novelties off the top of my head would be the a Mystery Machine side profile (this would be one of the larger caps), Scooby-Doo (another larger cap), Scooby's tag, the original Scooby Snack box, a front profile of the rest of the teams heads (Velma, Shaggy, Fred, and Daphne), Scrappy-Doo, and the typical Scooby-Doo ghost (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/animation-pedia/images/9/97/Scooby-Doo_Series_1_Season_1_Episode_3_Villian.png/revision/latest?cb=20130611185350).
That's just what I could think of right off the bat, I am a huge Scooby-Doo fan and this keyset is like heaven to me (making it GMK would almost give me a woody), but I could definitely come up with more suggestions if needed.
