Would icon mods instead of text mods be more fitting for this theme?

Yes, it is certainly similar.  I thought the yellow was a bit warmer (orange-er) than the Tai Hao set, but then I looked at the GMK colors and it is actually the coolest yellow they offer.  Would you maybe consider N6 or CV for the yellow to make it more distinct from the Tai Hao set.  The render really looks close to CV. 

It will be nice to have a yellow/black set that covers more boards than the Tai Hao offers though.

Shame GMK doesnt have centered legends, IMO its crucial to inspiration  :(
Title: Re: [IC]GMK Metro Alert
Post by: JDragon on Fri, 10 February 2017, 19:01:13
I think this would look good with all yellow on black keys, with a more muted yellow (N6?). It looks too bright and busy right now imo compared to the signs.
Title: Re: [IC]GMK Metro Alert
Post by: shower_king on Fri, 10 February 2017, 20:36:39
1, about the yellow , i agree with reececonrad and JDragon to some extent, The GE1 yellow seems cooler than the other two yellows
Especailly seeing from the color card of GMK
(http://i1.piimg.com/567571/d56a6ae5e9328e4e.png)

However, seeing from the color keycaps from GMK, i have changed my mind.
(http://i1.piimg.com/567571/42fb5d88bf2bf390.jpg)

The GE1 yellow is more charmingful than i expected in the real ones.

 :))
Title: Re: [IC]GMK Metro Alert
Post by: shower_king on Fri, 10 February 2017, 20:45:59
Thus i would choose GE1 for first choose and CV yellow would be the second one. .N6 yellow is darker in real keycap and would be ruled out, since the darker yellow don't meet my theme.


(http://p1.bpimg.com/567571/f36a142d00cdb71b.jpg)


Now i give everyone a more clear comparison among the three yellows.

2. about 3D renders, this one is done by my friend, Zack. He has little experience on this. He would make improvement on this.
I also hope invite hoq or  Zambumon to help me do more better renders after i finalize the color and layout and novelties. Of course, i will post the GMK'S renders as well at last.
Title: Re: [IC]GMK Metro Alert
Post by: pixelpusher on Fri, 10 February 2017, 21:55:54
I don't like N6 now that I see the comparison.  It looks like dried mustard.  I really like GE1 seeing them all together.  It is soothing, like you said.  CV is a good choice as well, though.

No.  It's almost the same as the KeyPop Bumblebee set (http://www.keypop.net/product/bumblebee-set).  Tai Hao just rips off popular colors and set ideas for the most part.  Don't give them the credit for the set.

That's interesting. I forget about keypop.  I've only been into the mech community for a couple of years and ever since I've been on the scene, keypop has only had novelties to offer.  I always liked the sets on their website but I wasn't aware they were keypop original designs.  Were they made by SP?

I agree. I think the fact that the inspiration is iconography/signs pretty much demands icon mods.
I'd be interested with icon mods.

About three yellows, they are common yellows on GMK color card not customized colors. They just need 150 MOQ not 250, which is easy to reach.
