Now Ready! - "TT2 Designer Series" Knobs - GroovyGameGear

(1/8) > >>

RandyT:

This idea has been kicking around awhile, and we just got the equipment and materials in to do it properly.  I'm pleased with the result, so I had to show it off  :)

This is a variation of the TokenTop knob designed for the TurboTwist2 Spinner.  It has all the same features (Accu-Twist, solid stainless construction, etc.) but instead of the inlaid token, it features a translucent graphic which captures the light reflected from the underlying spun metallic surface of the knob.  The image is heat and pressure bonded into the surface of the outdoor grade vinyl substrate, and is therefore very durable and scratch / moisture / UV resistant.

The "Web Beast" design was sent to me quite some while ago by PoDunkMoFo and is just one of several designs that are planned.  I'd like to offer a good selection of designs, so I'm looking for suggestions on what type of artwork you would like to see on a spinner knob.

I'd also like to mention to any control panel manufacturers out there that we'd be happy to provide a custom version (company logos, etc) for small quantities of these at no extra charge.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out and I look forward to hearing any comments.

Will these be the same price as the TokenTop?  I know, kinda jumping the gun...

I am looking for something more....... I guess universal is a good term.  Something nearly exactly like this but without the beast face, in other words, just the blue grid.  Stuff like that.

Looking good though.... I am sure the Artwork guys could get you about 1000 ideas!

Randy,

Is there any plans for "one offs" to be run? Obviously you would need to print many to fill the space on the stock, but say you have 20 guys all want one custom one.....

Just throwing it out there

Yes, same price.

Noted.  Certainly that approach will lend itself to many designs, so it's a good direction to start in.  Thanks.

That would be the limiter.  I'd need to run "one-offs" in groups or while running other stock images.  Because of the extra time involved in doing them (File transfers, artwork adjustments, etc) , I'd be happier doing them if it was original art and the person gave permission to have it included in the stock offerings for the rest of the community to use as well, but I'll try to accommodate regardless.

Is there any design specifications that must be met? What type of file are you needing/resolution etc?
