I like chains 1 and 2 (2 slightly more than 1)...

I just wanted to express my opinion after seeing that #2 has so far been the
majority favorite.  Like I said at the pre-beta group, that design is placed
onto a dogtag shape which seems too common to me.  Hopefully there will be
more to judge from soon.

Chris's design might seem too large, but I doubt IRL it would be.  Anything
2 inches, or about 5 cm, in the long dimension should be ergonomic enough.
Maybe 3.5 cm round if circular in shape.  And I'd like more to be there than
just the logo symbol.  Fabien Mosen's design is too minimalist IMHO, were it
not for the script backdrop.  Not that I have say alone but what we need is
lots of opinions, suggestions, designs to ferret out the right one for
general POVers.  Then at least we know we wouldn't be missing a great idea.

..and mousepads will become less and less popular, with the new
optical mices.  I've just got one myself, and am glad to get
rid of these dust/dirt-collecting pads.

Weirdo. No one agrees with you. You are wrong. ;)

Having just bought one, I remind you that it is not because
you abandoned legacy mouses that the world did the same. Or
will do tomorrow.

There's a shop just up the road from us that does full-colour t-shirts, mugs and
mouse-pads @ about R40 ~ $5. They did  our mouse-pads and it looks great. It's
done with the laser heat transfer method - laser copy on transfer paper
transferred onto mouse-pad via a heat-press. I'm sure you get that in the US, UK
etc. as well...?

Nah, definitely too large for my keyring then :)

Oh, and BTW, the dimensions I was thinking for the image I posted in p..i 
was about 1-1 1/4" long.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Nope.

Depends on price. $20 = R200 ZAR which is a little much for a keyring.

No 2

By loyalty, I meant many of us would do anything to help povray financially.

By pity, I was restating the idea I thought it was a bit cheezy, but again we'd do
anything to support povray financially.

The property of "suckiness" I guess is a subjective one in the eye of the beholder,
but for me a keychain stirs up notions of
i) corporate giveaways to employees in years when raises sucked;
ii) NY City tourist traps.

I'd be more interested in a T-shirt designed by Rune or Mick or Anto  OR a bulk
T-shirt deal with some Australian shop where everyone who gives povray  US$35 gets
their own favorite design on a shirt.

Sounds OK to me.

Mine is around 30yrs old but I might be persuaded its time for a new
one.

Most wanted order: 2,4,3,5,6 and 1 (Yuk! Those pokey bits on 1).
