Adopt a Keycap Legend with Cherry Replica Font! (Cherry font, not some other font)

[mbc]

When will you start taking payments for the legends ?

[litster]

Keys still available for adoption:

width="188" style="width: 188px"
|-
|  style="width: 92px; height: 20px" | F11
|  style="width: 96px" | Numpad -
|-
|  style="height: 20px" |
| Numpad /
|-
|  style="height: 20px" |
| Numpad 0
|-
|  style="height: 20px" |
| Numpad 4
|-
|  style="height: 20px" |
| Numpad 6
|-
|  style="height: 20px" |
| Numpad 9
|-

Let's try to get these legends adopted.  Soon, we will start collection adoption fees.  :-)

I just finished ALL the legends

Is that Jinro?  He looks like Liquid`Jinro.

[tsangan]

That really looks like Jinro :rofl:

[rknize]

Haha...nope it's Ash.  Guess this shows my age.

I'm going to be handling the payments.  While the SVGs are all done, there is still refining and double-checking to do to make sure they are all as good as they can be.  And we still have to organize the Dolch replica group buy, in cooperation with the other full set buys, and finish funding the few keys that are left.  There's still a lot of leg work to be done before we are ready to pull the trigger.

I'm pleased that I am both cultured enough to have recognized it as Ash, and young enough to agree that it does look a lot like Jinro. :dance:

They call me Hazeluff. But you can call me Haze.

I'll adopt F11.

[rknize]

So both of my keys would have side-printing.  I think that Cherry normally pad-printed that part.  I assume that SP also cannot put a legend there, right?

Hazeluff, you are a machine.  Before everyone starts picking this image apart though, remember that we are still tweaking these.  We have an SVG for every key and now it's just a matter of refining and perfecting them.

I believe some of the Korean sets have had side printing.  I'll ask Melissa about it.

Cool.  I picked these for their relative obscurity.  I imagine that side-printing would increase the cost.  If so, we can discuss.

Can I steal mine and put them in my sig?  :attention:

[agor]

If side printing is indeed possible I'll add side pictures for these keys
Have a nice easter weekend everyone!

Go ahead.

[rknize]

Nice work,  Hazeluff.  They look awesome.  I know these are just the first pass.  A couple of things that may need a slight tweak on my keys, compared to the white-on-black DS I am typing on now:

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 47467[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 47468[/ATTACH]

- The "a" in Pause is leaning to the left, whereas it's pretty much vertical on mine.
- The curve of the "r" in "Prt Sc" is a bit longer on mine.

I imagine there is some variance over the years, so some of these nit-picks may have no real answer.

[litster]

I'll adopt F11.

You got it, scrubadub!

All legends for tenkeyless layout are adopted.  Remaining legends for numpad are:

Numpad -
Numpad /
Numpad 0
Numpad 4
Numpad 6
Numpad 9

[mmmty]

I'll take Numpad 0

[litster]

mmmty has Numpad 0 now.

remaining keys:
Numpad -
Numpad /
Numpad 4
Numpad 6
Numpad 9

[litster]

The first thing we will do is a Dolch replica set.

If this is true there had damn well better be an option for a moogle-less set!

[rknize]

Haha...I was just going to say...I feel even sillier buying a Dolch Moogle set now.  Oh well.

[litster]

OK, that went over my head.

[rknize]

Not to mention we are replicating keys from a German company....

[mkawa]

OK, that went over my head.

Rounded Calibri or VAG next round!

Ripster, how many keycap sets made of this font will you buy?

[imsto]

is that when there's no heigher bid then it's over?:bump2:

[agor]

So, how are we going to continue? Seeing how many people ordered tsangans CreamCheese Set, might there be the possibility of splitting the legend cost across all orders of an e.g. Dolch Set Group Buy? Might save us the hassle waiting for people to adopt Numblock Keys.

Maybe start an Interest Check for real

[hazeluff]

We're currently working out everything. ; )

Hang on tight guys.

[mbc]

any news on how these will be licensed.

I want to emphasise how important it is to make this without any restriction of usage or whatever the right term is.
We would not gain anything by it, and who knows what happens when in a couple of years some ppl turn their back on gh, or gh itself doesn't exist. all the effort would be lost.

[hashbaz]

Making it totally open would mean telling Melissa to let anyone who asks use them.  The consensus from earlier is that we don't want that.

[mkawa]

i see absolutely no reason why we should make it available to anyone who asks. as we agreed on before, the leaders of the cabal should have first say and be the signatories as far as SP is concerned, and we can determine on demand whether to honor requests for use of the legends.

example: a korean board would like to use our legends, but starts a group buy for keys that they _do not allow non-koreans to participate in_. that would be ridiculous and an abuse of our monetary contributions and other efforts.
