Legend design is done! Some minor
changes will be applied to make it perfect! Picture
below:
Signature Plastics’ font selection is limited. It has
been brought up through many group buy discussions that it
would be good if we could make custom keycaps with a font
that is very close to the original Cherry font. We know this
is possible through creating moogle kit keycaps and the
result has been fantastic.
What’s been stopping us from
making a full set of keycaps with a font similar to the
original Cherry font is the cost of creating the legends.
legend fee is $45 per keycap. It is a lot of money to get a
full set of legends made. Luckily, a few new legends have
already been made through the recent moogle kit group buy
(Shift, Control, Alt, Windows, menu, Esc).
To get the
rest of the legends made, a few regular keycap group buyers
and forum members are teaming up to start an “Adopt a Cherry
keycap” project. People can now adopt a keycap by pledging
to pay for the legend fee for the adopted keycap. The
resulting legends from this effort will be available to any
future group buy. We will maintain a list of “parents” and
their adopted keycaps so the community can recognize the
“parents’” contribution. If you choose to support this
effort anonymously, we will respect that. You can adopt one
keycap, you can adopt many keycaps.
If you are
interested in joining this effort, please post here to let
the thread know which keycap you are adopting.
Separately,
we are also interested in asking organizers of new keycap
group buys to add a small fee to each set to contribute to
this effort. This will benefit everyone in the community.
Will these organizers’ help, we can get to our target much
sooner.
NEWS FLASH!!!
At the same time, we are auctioning
the naming right to this Cherry Legend font. If you win
this Cherry Legend will be referred to as “YOURNAME Cherry
Legend font”.
You will be famous! You name will be in
the keyboard history book (or a wikipedia page)!
We will close this auction when all keys are
adopted.
Current naming right high bid is $120 from
Sherryton!
If you want to bid silently, please PM
me.
Hope you will participate.
Update: In less
than 24 hours, we have most of the key legends adopted. Only
a few keys left, come join us to make this Cherry legend
effort a reality!
