Title: Post your AP Keyring Designs here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: daics3522 on October 01, 2009, 01:42:44 PM: Howdy all,
After some discussion with numerous administrators, on behalf of AP I would like to call for members to design the new AP keyring. The keyrings will be made of soft plastic and be approximately 80mm x 30mm in size. Post your designs within this thread and a decision will then be made (member votes) on the final design.

Please also provide your expression of interest in purchasing these items and potential quantity(ies). Pricing should be around the $4.00 mark depending on size of final order based on interest shown.

Here is a sample of the styles the company produces.

These are a fantastic idea and a great item for your pinball / arcade / pokie / jukebox (etc, etc) machine keys......... I may be able to have a section on the back where you can write on with permanent marker to identify the keyring and the machine it is assigned to......

I am really looking forward to your thoughts, replies and designs........
Cheers
Craig

Post by: Wotto on October 01, 2009, 02:29:33 PM: For $4.00 each - this is quite a good idea - would look good having an AussiePinball.com 'uniform' keytag hanging off each machine ^^^

I think a plain oval shape might be best *!@ or maybe a plunger shape with Aussiepinball down the shaft !@#

Now- my Playboy Girl Shirt design already suits this type of thing so theres a start.

Post by: Belac on October 01, 2009, 04:50:56 PM: I know i'm a noob here, but i've learnt so much here already I wanted to contribute in some way. Here are some ideas based on what I saw in the t-shirt thread.

Dont want to step on anyone's toes but figured they should be similar to existing logo's kicking around which is why looked at the t-shirt thread logos first.

Anyway here's what I came up with, to get this started.

(Images are pretty small due to the size of the images i was working with, also not sure of the font used in the banner so picked something close(ish)

What ever the designs is, i will be in for a few as it would be nice to be unformed.Be nice if i had some where to right my games name on there as may become a bit confusing when you have a few machines. ^&^

Lloks good - like the flipper shape idea too.
The font I used in the banners was Alba ( or Alba Matter ) - one of those two anyway.

I like the flipper shape best too I think.

With Alba font:

Post by: daics3522 on October 01, 2009, 05:28:31 PM: Thats a nice clean simple design.... I like it......
Would it look as nice on a T-Shirt ??? I think maybe the pink lady design would look nicer on a T-Shirt....

Thanks.

I think I was looking at an old t-shirt thread, which is where I got the bumper picture and flipper outline. Wotto's pink lady design would definately look better on a t-shirt. I just threw this together as a simple design for a keyring, not as an alternative to the pink lady. ^^^

Post by: Strangeways on October 01, 2009, 06:57:11 PM: Great idea, Craig !

Could it be possible to have several different designs - not just "the one" ?

So keep the ideas coming and we get this going !

Great idea, Craig !

Can always get two styles made, just means that the costs would increase (very slightly) due to smaller quantities in two styles and two moulds having to be made.. It actually wouldn't effect the price that much though so its very feasible depending on member requirements and orders.
Title: Re: Post your AP Keyring Designs here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Wotto on October 01, 2009, 08:00:14 PM: I think that Belacs flipper is great - very clean and recognisable ^^^

Drop some different colours in Belac and show us ( black, blue, light blue, purple ) lettering and surround *!@
Title: Re: Post your AP Keyring Designs here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: pinnies4me on October 01, 2009, 08:16:24 PM: Fun thread!

I combined some of the great ideas here, and came up with.. .. well, something doesn't look quite right?? ??

Post by: Caveoftreasures on October 01, 2009, 08:26:32 PM: I will buy 25 of each....where do i send the money. dont care if u charge me $4 or whatever. !@#

THEY LOOK BLOODY GOOD. ^^^

Not sure about the "cock and balls" design. Was that for the female members or for the members who attend the
mardis gras. *)* WE DONT HAVE MARDIS GRAS HERE IN BLOKEY QUEENSLAND. ^^^

Post by: daics3522 on October 01, 2009, 08:29:54 PM: I also like this style ............ Simple design, yet tells the story ....

Post by: illawarra_steelers on October 01, 2009, 11:46:22 PM: Why not get some made - place them on eGay for the same price (+ the BS fees) and it would be a great way to spread the word on Aussie Pinball

Post by: Belac on October 05, 2009, 01:58:06 PM: Cheers Wotto,

Still open to suggestions, and interested to see idea's from others! I was just trying to get the ball rolling not steal the show!
Title: Re: Post your AP Keyring Designs here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Strangeways on October 05, 2009, 04:51:00 PM: Just keep the designs coming (if there are any more submissions) in so that everyone that wants to contribute has that opportunity. I guess we can narrow down the design with a poll or something similar.
Title: Re: Post your AP Keyring Designs here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: daics3522 on October 05, 2009, 06:44:41 PM: I say we give it until the end of the week for members to get some more designs in. I have sent the flipper keyring sample to them for a quote and will advise upon it's return.

Come on people, these will be YOUR keyring's for YOUR machines so contribute if you can.
Title: Re: Post your AP Keyring Designs here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Wotto on October 05, 2009, 07:20:42 PM: I normally contribute to any artwork thread but in all honesty I really feel Belac has nailed this on attempt number 1.

I could do something 'prettier' or more colourful or whatever ( maybe) but this look and simplicity of a flipper with the AP name on it fits the bill perfectly and will be just the perfect size as well.

I say we run with this one - thats my vote right there *)*

Post by: daics3522 on October 08, 2009, 12:41:24 AM: OK peeps.....
Got this back today.... What I asked for was the keyring design as provided on the front and a white back so you can write your machine name on the tag....

Size will be 80mm x 30mm

They will produce a computer generated sample pic within 7 days (been on Chinese holiday from Oct 1 - 7)

Post by: Belac on October 08, 2009, 10:40:25 AM: Let me know if you need higher res artwork.

I remade the design in higher res for the colour sample image. Also tweaked the 'www.aussiepinball.com' text so that it was more in line with the flipper outline.

I can provide much higher res than the images I have posted here if needed.
