Flag for Keyboards (League of Actuations)

[daguil68367]

I made a flag for the keyboard community! If this was a flag for a group, I think the League of Actuations would be a pretty good name!

What, no Space Invaders?

Flags with words on them don’t pass the design test, for me. Indeed, any good flag should be iconic enough a child can draw it! There’s too many stars and laurels and crowns and dragons and other guff on flags. They should all be intersecting lines!

You see my austere minimalism is not restricted to just keyboards themselves…

[daguil68367]

Well there aren't really any symbols that can represent each brand, except for Cherry.
Maybe a mountain for Alps, but I can't think of anything that would work for IBM or Topre.

I figured that if I couldn't find symbols for all of them, just having the logos would be more consistent.

For alps

… but I can't think of anything that would work for IBM …

How about a catastrophically buckling spring?

Volcano that looks like rubber dome for topre

I'm making a new version, with mountains for Alps and the bee for IBM.

Still no symbol for Topre though...

Here's the updated version!

As you can see, no more words!

Since Topre doesn't have an icon, I chose the electronic symbol for a capacitor, since Topre is a capacitive switch. (Also the bottom half looks like a T)

Still no space invaders. Perhaps I should take one for the team and send the (hexed) boneshaker to daguil68637, for his... ummm... enlightenment.

[daguil68367]

I would have no objections to that!

Here's the flag for Hi-Tek, as requested!

The icon comes from Space Invader switch housings!

The next flag will be for Micro Switch.

After that, I will be making one last flag. I don't know which switch manufacturer to do though, so look through this list: wiki/Category:Keyboard_switches_by_brand

Please respond with which switch brand you want me to make a flag for!
