not interested, pls scratch me off the list.

I kid, It looks ok, I don't like the green personally :s but I understand limitations of available colors and all.

The purple/orange also looks weird.

I like the concept OuO and like the fact it's something different, other than running the same colors again and again and again

You called? :P

I really like the purple but the alpha colors are close to Miami. Maybe that orange/gold color should be on the alphas?

Regardless, I totally agree with kmiller8. It's great to see something different. Especially something colorful :D.

Actually, I think it's the green/purple that looks so weird, why not pick a different color for letterings?

All these suggestions would mean it's no longer Joker though, the colour scheme he has is the colour scheme for Joker in the comics and cartoons. A darker green wouldn't really work, jdcarpe's suggestion of lighter green and darker purple maybe could though.

Similar to others, I really like the idea here.  If it could be streamlined and perfected I'd definitely buy it.   :thumb:

1) we don't have a darker purple

2) lighter green is feasible but it comes out a bit "fluo"

Hmm, I still prefer the original although that seems good too. I'll have to see when/if the group buy comes though as I just skipped out on some switches since I'm low on money.

Variant 1 with orange legends for the alphas and red legends for the mods (less serious)?

Got to harass GON for a Purple Keyboard - for 2014  :thumb: .

You should call your new design - "TOXIC" or "Fatal" or even "Noxious" key-set.

In VAT and RDA?

It's a very vivid combination, like I said not "joker" anymore. If there's interest I can add some evangelion symbols to the mix.

PLEASE if you apply any 'extra' graphics and/or symbols make sure it's not childish (under 12's) type of expression.  It needs to be tasteful and above all else 'timeless' in it's execution.  You don't want to see it next year (2015) and wretch at the sight of it, thinking .........what have I done?

Then it finds a nice cardboard box to sit in, for the next 20 years or so.

I would add an EVA kit anyway, the standard kit would be pretty general purpose.

Yes, sorry for my ignorance here....... being Italian, you know excellent design graphics - quite well.  Would love to buy the standard kit, maybe because when you're older the simple it is, it will last far longer than outrageously designed 'youth market style', which is here today and gone tomorrow.

 he used more brilliant colors that are not very close to SP ABS real colors, but I like his version too. Anyway no reason to keep the "why so serious" key.

the black background helps

I wish him well because you know what running a Group Buy is like?  It could easily go bad with little provocation due to some trouble makers wanting to possibly derail a GB just because it suits them.

I've witnessed some that went horribly and others that went by perfectly.  I hope this one goes nicely - because I want a piece of this as well  :thumb: .
