The information used in this column comes from the Internet, and friendly discussions are welcome.

As Christmas is approaching, Christmas is more like a secular festival in China. After removing the religious color, the Chinese treat Christmas more like Valentine's Day or a shopping festival. It is a festival where you can stop and take a break.

In addition to a wide range of promotions and discounts, there is also a unique Chinese Ping An fruit whose value has increased tenfold overnight.

In fact, most of the Christmas-themed designs have the following characteristics:

All festivals will have iconic visual elements, and the main visual symbols of Christmas are Christmas stockings, Christmas trees, Santa Claus, elk snowmobiles, Christmas hats, striped candies, etc.

And snowmen, balloons, greeting cards, crystal balls, ribbons, bells, neon signs and more. These are the elements that set off the Christmas atmosphere.

The main colors of Christmas are generally: one of red, green and white. Red, yellow, and green are often used as auxiliary colors.

Let's take a look at some Christmas-related designs in the keyboard circle.

Very textured SP keycaps plus a standard Christmas design

This set of keycaps is made by the domestic "Jack" studio, and the American aunt SP produces SA height Christmas-themed keycaps.

Jack is an enthusiast of SPSA keycaps. After collecting most of the SA keycaps produced by SP Company, he began to want to design and produce SPSA keycaps by himself, and then contacted the sales director of SP for cooperation. Since then, JACK Studio born.

In my impression, Christmas when I was a child is always so exciting. You can be decorated with colorful colors, you can rippling in the music of Jingle Bells, make a wish, and maybe you can get the gift you want in the socks tomorrow morning. After growing up, the meaning of Christmas has undergone many changes. How many people, overnight, became Santa Claus without wearing Christmas clothes. But at least there are Christmas presents, to your delight, the elk will not get lost, and the gifts of Christmas will finally be delivered on time.

---To the lost youth and the bright future, JACK's Christmas gift will accompany them.

It can be seen that the designer's small composition is still very good, and it also explains the design expression of this set of keycaps.

Color matching:

The red, yellow, green and white with low saturation and the dark chocolate representing the trunk are like a Christmas tree. At the same time, the choice of this color also highlights the texture advantage of SP's keycaps.

Personality section:

First is Xmax

Christmas in English is Christmas, and in Greek (Greek), Christ (Jesus Christ, pronounced /kraɪst/) is written Χριστός, and the first letter of this Greek word looks like the English letter X. According to this, many people are accustomed to using X to replace Christ in Christmas, writing it as Xmas, and gradually forming a tradition that has been followed to this day.

Handwritten Christmas uses a playful font that feels more personal and approachable.

A large number of Christmas visual symbols are used to create a very strong festive atmosphere.

This keycap was designed by Ovie Grant, the designer of Manka Peripherals. It is a Christmas-themed keycap co-branded with "Teddy Bear". He has also designed keycaps such as stamps and afternoon tea before.

Thanks to Teddy Bear for giving us the opportunity to cooperate, obtaining the authorization, and applying it to the keycap.

After continuous revision, review, redo, review, redo, review, finally passed the design draft

Color matching:

The overall color scheme uses a relatively retro red + green + milky white as the base tone, and yellow is added as an embellishment.

Personality section:

Compared with ordinary Christmas themes, due to the particularity of the joint name, teddy bear images are widely used in personality designs. In addition, there is a personalized design for the Year of the Rabbit, but it has nothing to do with Christmas. Speaking of which, this is the first time I know of a concept design like Teddy Rabbit.

The milky white Lucky Teddy Rabbit is added. New Year's Day is coming, and China is about to usher in the Year of the Rabbit. It can be regarded as an Easter egg, which can be used as a replacement key for the QWERASDF key.

From IC posts

This Christmas keycap is from MOMOKA's designer "", who has also designed it before.

Color matching:

Compared with the previous models, the color brightness of this model is much higher, with creamy yellow, orange red, and bright green. At the same time, the design of the red and green halves is quite subtle.

Personality section:

This one still maintains the hand-painted style. The style of this designer's work is quite obvious, and the pattern design has some graffiti flavor. Elements are also relatively common Christmas elements, but the personality of this space is quite interesting, a bit like a tablecloth for a festival celebration.

Rendering display (for reference only):

This keycap is produced by the studio "Monster Cake" and manufactured by Flame Mori. This is also their first keycap. At present, it seems that the follow-up products of their studio will probably add a lot of gourmet elements.

At the silent end of 2022, when the first winter snow washes the ground, a few brick movers in the comics/animation and game industries improvised and formed a club with the theme of "making something poor and happy".

Color matching:

red with green

Personality section:

It is also a very typical Christmas element.

I don’t need to introduce this one. Numiao is already a “famous” brand. This one is from the Christmas-themed keycaps designed by Numiao——DANCING CAT. But to be honest, his connection with Christmas may only be the release time, and the price of this model is also very angry, 420, which only includes the keycaps in the above picture.

However, the design itself is actually quite recognizable.

The grid of LED lights reminds us of GBA Tetris, and the light and flickering lights are like lively cats.

Inspired by this, we combine the square Tetris with lively cats, with rich colors, to bring you this theme keycap - Dancing Cat.

color matching:

This part is more in line with the traditional Christmas color scheme, red, green, yellow and white.

Personality section:

In terms of personality, this keycap has some dot-matrix pixel style, which also echoes the dot-matrix light screen of CYBERBOARD. It's indescribably funny.

After talking about the cyber cat, let’s take a look at the following cute Christmas cat keycaps

These two keycaps are Christmas-themed keycaps launched by NuPhy, designed by the designer "NYX2". made.

Ribbons, bells, socks and snowflakes...what could be missing for a warm and merry Christmas party? Yes, cats, and a new set of Keebs and Kitties festive keycaps!

dwarf axis:

Red and gold are the main colors, warm and comfortable, more festive color matching.

KDA:

Green and pink are the main tone, and the Christmas atmosphere is strong.

This keycap is designed by "KK" of Okey Dokey Studio, manufactured by Huo Yansenmei, and has the height of KCA. The studio started its activities in 2022.10, and this keycap is their second keycap, having previously designed the "Cat Dessert" keycap.

Color matching:

In terms of color matching, I chose a very classic blue-green British style color matching. I want to show everyone the low-key and elegant British style.

Compared with the traditional Christmas color scheme, this British-style keycap is a mix of blue and green, and the dark color is embellished with snow patterns, which has a different flavor. Speaking of British style, you will think of academic outfits. White, gray, blue and red are the four basic colors of the British style. The British style is characterized by nature, elegance, restraint, and nobility. Most of the British style designs are still characterized by simplicity.

Personality section:

Compared with the use of multiple elements of other keycaps, this one mainly focuses on the characters, elf, nutcracker, Santa Claus and snowman.
