Meet Dino Jungle!

Dino Jungle is a dinosaur inspired set dedicated to my son.



As of three years ago my son has been really into dinosaurs. We’ve decorated his room, played with tons of toys, and even been to dinosaur exhibits. I’ve been wanting to make something for him for quite a while. So when the GMK Design Contest was announced I knew that I had to explore this idea. After showing him the set he asked me if he can have a Dino keyboard. Thus GMK CYL Dino Jungle was born.

Why Neue legends and why full text mods?:

To be honest I just enjoy how they look. I think they're really clean and I want to support GMK's new legend system. I opted for full text mods on this set since technically dinosaurs are from millions of years ago so they wouldn't have had icons back then? I also haven't designed anything with full text mods yet so felt now was the time! Idk makes sense in my mind.

I don't see the appeal of Neue legends at all, neither text or icons they both look horrible.

Totally fair. Just as you don't like them there are also people who do, so much preference in the space. I happen to be in the camp that thinks they look great! Appreciate the feedback! I also ran a poll in the GMK server about this on my ic forum there and the vote ended with Neue as the winner. So I'll keep them on this project since majority seemed to prefer it.
