I'm looking for ideas to create my own legends on Model M key caps.

Does anybody have any good ideas?

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Agreed. All great ideas for desired keys.

I was too vague in my original post: Does anybody have any ideas on how to make IBM Model M key caps?

I've tried laser-printing onto clear mailing labels and it work fairly well, but eventually the labels come off.

I wonder if it's possible to send some blank M keycaps to a company that does dye-sub or uv printing on keycaps

Mega Man caps on Model M would be awesome
