Deskthority key caps

modified xbb's
Maybe put it on a 1.25 key. Also lowercase 't'

Both ARE!

Could run both colors like the Pi Group Key Buy.

white on black: doubleshot
black on white: doubleshot / dye sublimation

Not my idea to place a T near the D, I saw it somewhere before but I forgot where.

Ragnorock said he could help whatever the design is. He knows a LOT about working with SP but a EU person would be good too.

I'm with webwit's design, just simple D would be cool in my opinion for doubleshot or dyesub. Full Deskthority logo on spacebar would also be ok, maybe on one of those 3D printed metal ones being talked about for groupbuy already? Or if not that maybe on thick PBT with etched style? But not super giant maybe like 3-4units, I like simple and elegant understated style.

I'm just stopping by to let everyone know I'd be willing to run this if one of your more "DT based" guys isn't I was pointed here because I heard they needed someone with a good reputation to do it right, so here I am. I'd love to do both the black on white and white on black keys pictured below, and the Desk flip enter or backspace key (backspace might suit the legend better,) potentially in both color combos as well. So 3 or 4 keys. Thoughts?

Awesome work guys, but instead of white would you consider cherry beige? Also the Escape replacement has been done to death, would love to see mods :) Or even a shift replacement with the up arrow still there?

Some great designs, I like the DT variations too.

Same Korean sticker company that made the Cherry transfer foil metal stickers for OTD. You send a design for an entire sheet and money, and they send you the stickers. But there are plenty of sticker companies.

I vote for a simple 'D' or 'DT' version. Somehow 'DESK' on its own looks odd to me.

Or...

Spacebar would be nicer if done two tone. I.e. the bar itself is coloured as per the logo backgrounds

Definitely do the stickers. Foil is good, or transparent color ones like original Cherry case sticker

I reckon these three would be the best for a group buy so far, although my spacebar would need neatening up, its a bit pixelated atm, and we would be very grateful if you facilitated it.
Thanks

true, there are a lot of row 4 keys for novelty keycaps. A small sticker would be cool too

How about a set of TAB and CapsLock keys with the "Desk" part of the logo on the TAB and the "thority" on the larger CapsLock key?

From the ones already posted I definitively like the simple ones with just the D or the Dt the best...

I swiped the image/color scheme from the Wiki.

I don't think Signature Plastics can do front printing though. UNLIKE my Filco Camo Lasered keys.

Be nice if we approached sleabo and had qwerkeys for these. Be nice to see the difference between SP and Qwerkeys.

Interesting thought. Perhaps even put part the logo on the step of a stepped caps lock.

Stepped caps lock with centred stem isn't possible.
CnC and also Red Alert 2 were going to have them, but it turns out SP can't make them.
