Not in the first picture, but now that there's a second picture up I can
definitely see it. I guess that makes more sense then, I now like it a
bit more.

Hi Chris, a great idea and I'd go with #9. But a pointer if I may?
From your link:
"We are led to believe that a plated keychain of this sort with
enamelled lettering will stand up to at least five years of daily use
without any significant problems, and could last much longer with some wear
and tear."
The plated brass I'm not worried about, but the enamel, yes. Kilned
enamel is usually applied at a thickness of around .5mm, and unless it's
'inset' with a sort of 'guard' around it, (as per Jamies' image, #9), then
it will chip and crack, and that can be immediate, (unlucky), 'or' in 5
years time, (lucky), having said that, even if it has a guard and 'is' sunk
low, a carefully aimed backdoor key that hits it will possibly damage it
anyway.
Also, the most affordable colour will be green, I'm not sure why as yet,
but that's what my enamellers tell me.
Hope this is of some help to you and everyone else.
~Steve~

Green sucks. IMHO.

I think I like number 8 the most.
The shape is nicely smooth without being too symmetric. Looks nice to
handle. The other keychains are either too symmetric or too complex (with
sharpnesses).
Also the image is nice (although some other color schemes could be tried to
see how it looks like).

I'd like to see integrated bottle opener instead, as I've always had
fear of death by dehydration :-)

You might want to check out this site:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/index.aspx
Basically you send them the art, choose which products
you want to associate the art with and they sell the
product for you. There's no keychains but there are
T-shirts, mugs, baseball caps and mouse pads. Plus
my favorite the limited edition stein. All the products
have a base price and then you can set a price on top
of that which is your profit.
My friend uses this company for his rock band. I haven't
heard any complaints yet so I guess they can't be all
bad but I don't know for sure.

BTW they also have a referal program which can earn you
money too and I just noticed when I clicked the join
link that it gives credit to my friend's band. I just
want you to know that this was *not* my intention. I
grabbed the link from my friend's website. It must use
a cookie or something to track referals.
Oh, I almost forgot...I like keychain #2
(but I'm partial to the stein :) )

hi chris,
i vote that the whole idea sucks. hahaha. ok, i'm not trying to be
a butt here. really! but i would much rather have a T-SHIRT. we
got some made for a dock party and we had a minimum order of
11 and got em for $12US apiece. lotsa juicy colors too!
the reason i'm a t-shirt guy is cuz i want people to see it and ask
questions about it. i'm PROUD to be a pov-rayer, even if i am a
rank disgusting ignorant newbie. and i'm a sucker for cool t-shirts
that nobody else around me has, and since i think i'm the only
person in indiana that plays with pov, i think i'd stand out in a pov
T. a key chain is just TOO SUBTLE!!!
