A few days ago, I asked a company which makes customized keycaps (for the Cherry MX keys) if they'd consider adding a FreeBSD logo to their selection of OS keycaps (aka the Windows/Super/Command keys), to complement the Amiga and Linux variants that they have (plus the usual Mac, and the even more usual Windows, of course). To my suprise, their response was affirmative, and after a couple of emails sent back and forth, they've presented me with a potential draft for the Beastie logo (I do not know at this time if they plan on adding both the "orb" and the Beastie logos, but I have suggested for them to add both). Here is the draft: http://stdrand.com/upload/files/beastie-mono.png (n.b.: I will probably be reorganizing my server soonish, so this won't be up forever). It is simply a monochromatic rendering of the Beastie here: http://www.freebsd.org/art.html Before you ask, yes, I did inform them about the copyright status of the artwork, and they said that they've contacted the author. I'm pretty sure that he won't mind this being used to promote the OS by having this as an option for the keys! I'll give you the link to the company -- and the relevant OS keys page -- later, for I fear that I might be pushing the limits by having 2 links in my first email to the list, and that a 3rd might go over the top. Besides, they haven't *yet* added this to their selection. Anyways, the reason I'm sending this here is two-fold: 1) I'd like some comments on the Beastie variant above. Someone has already commented that the shoes look rather long; I've notified them of this. 2) Simply to let you know that, if you have a Cherry MX switch-based mechanical keyboard, you might be able to have FreeBSD OS keys soon! PS: I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list. I apologize if it's not= .

I'd be worried that even that level of detail would be difficult to execute well with laser etching. Although Beastie is the beloved mascot of freeBSD, what about using the simpler horned-sphere/ circle logo? It would produce a cleaner and maybe more recognizable legend. Also you'd have more options to make it something real special (doubleshot anyone?).

And as stated in my last email (BTW, made a typo there: meant "only* the monochromatic", not "on the monochromatic" versions are applicable), both will be made available. I suppose it is time to post the link; here are the relevant keycaps: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/os-mx-keycap-set.html The Command icon and Tux's (Linux logo's) feet are rather thin, and yet they don't seem to have any problems with those. Of course, *engraving* (as opposed to etching) might prove to be rather challanging with those, but I'd say they know what they're doing! =3D) On 21 December 2012 02:21, Jason Dickman wrote: > Which method of legend printing do you plan on using?

And regarding the keycaps, unfortunately they only work with the Cherry MX switches (n.b.: many non-Cherry keyboards use those, but your UltraX doesn't look like a mechanical keyboard, and thus definitely doesn't use those switches; that said, not all mechanical keyboards use the Cherry switches either). I think I'll tell them to use the "shaded" monochromatic logo (top-right of the monochromatic ones in that image), as most people have voted for that one.

Does not change *my* opinion, because I prefer the Beastie anyways, but I'm trying to get them to support both of the logos since I know that some people would prefer the other one. As far as using in FreeBSD goes, I suppose it's a matter of personal opinion; but, as you said, when you consider other variants, the Beastie is the better choice. Once they start offering the Beastie OS keycaps, someone should inform the users of other BSD flavors about this.
