Good morning.
A few things:
First, please no more animations in the thread. I had to AdBlock it to regain my CPU.
Moving on to the keycap set...
The core concept of the set is to remain faithful to the original Nuclear Data legends. So for sure the base set will be deployable in 100% White-on-Green (WoG) keycaps. So yes, it will include a WoG Escape keycap, WoG arrows, and a WoG Return. Also, the original is 100% text, so with the exception of the radiation icon, everything will be TEXT, (I used the ASCII version for that Sans font as an example. We'll see what can be done for the actual keycap.)
As far as I can tell from the mockups, the 1x mods are limited to a 4x2 legend to keep the bold used-in-emergencies look. Thus "FIRE NUKE" instead of "LAUNCH".
Personally, I prefer the 50's-era legends and wording, and frankly, nobody would have willingly had a keyboard with a key that said FIRE NUKE on it. Having said that, this is an [IC] thread, so as long as you answer the two questions listed in the OP, then please do suggest keycaps and legends that you think might make the set better -- better means increased demand, which helps with MOQ and cost.
Feedback from the first 48 hours tells me that there is enough interest to put up a "do you want it?" web page. I'll do that.
In the meantime, please continue to toss ideas around. We'll never have a keycap that says "THERMONUCLEAR", but that might lead to an idea for a keycap that will be awesome, so keep it up.
Just remember that between now and the actual [GB], keycap colors and legends are going to be selected in the context of the photo in the OP and the equipment used in the depths of the Cold War.
Actual nukes were terrifying -- but the Nuclear Data keycap set will be terrific!

p.s. I consider Greek characters TEXT in the context of this set. So gimme Gamma, etc.
