If you are forming another team, sign me up. Once all the parts for the NES comes in, there actual work goes fast and easy. This of course is not including time for the vinyl dye or any paint to dry. I planing to keep the design simple but elegant. Blue on the top, red on the bottom, I keeping the black stripe. Power and Reset are going to be blue. The controller going to mimic the console while retaining the original decal. I will post pics when finally get started.
if we’re doing a second wave i’ll sign up for that in making a stick
If it will fit in on one of the sticks be sure to get a hold of me in plenty of time so I can mail it out (international shipping).
Also, IIRC VOLTECH has a really nice way of implementing the neutrik RJ45 jacks to his cases, mounting them on the inside and looking incredibly tidy. So maybe he should do the MC RJ45 stick?
You mean flush mounting. More than a few folks have done that with their customs. Being able to do that depends on the case though, it’s easy enough on metal or acrylic cases, for wooden cases, the case needs to have a small pocket carved out to fit the jack.
Wow, sorry to shortchange you guys, there’s no shortage of volunteers. Maybe more will be possible in the future! I didn’t know you made cases, mr.mortified! Could I see some examples of your work?
That’s true. I’ll talk to him about mounting shenanigans. I’ll also let you know when the designs become more concrete about shipping.
Got in touch with Child’s Play. Going to get working to get Sticks for Joy much more official. Coolness!
Been thinking of concepts for a logo. Anyone got any font suggestions for a happy looking design?
i do, but you’d have to pixelate it
Wrong kind of joystick.
Testing some logo concepts.

Excuse the blatant abuse of Sega fonts. Colours to be added later.
Hey d3v, what color would you like me to make my case? Im going to be doing dyed curly maple.
d3v let me know what you have planned for the voltech case(art template) so I can start coming up with a good paintjob, thanks bro. I like the first logo as well the color will make it happy looking kinda like what the color does to the toys r us lettering it kinda transforms the overall look to be almost kid like!. great job and hit me back when you get a chance.
First one gets my vote over the second one for its cleanliness in a nicer shape. Would like a little more happy, though, maybe a little less sharp of text? Looks great, regardless, though.
Oh, man, d3v, you got work to be doing! 
Prefer first logo. Would also prefer all text to be on a single line.
the first one.
definitely the first for me,
Like Nerrage said, the text is pretty sharp. We have to make sure the children don’t hurt themselves with such a sharp logo
always go rounded objects, triangles and pointy objects will scare young kids so SOFT, ROUNDED, AND PASTEL COLORS FOR THE WIN.
I like the First one as well. Nice Work.
I’ll see what I can do about a rounder font. The reason I chose that was because, it was the font on Sega’s UFO Catcher machines.
Might try the Saturn or Sonic fonts instead.
EDIT:
As for the colours of the cases, I’ll admit that I’m at a loss as I usually match the art to an existing case’s colours and not vice versa.
That said, my plan so far involves the logo (with nice, primary and pastel colours) angled over either a white or black field, with some Vewlix or Lindbergh cab stylings (rings around the buttons). Actually, I’m thinking that one stick should have the black bacground, while the other should have white.
Sent some cash to donate. Hope it helps!
