Being a product of the 80's meant forming yourself in the 90s, and for me nothing quite hits that nostalgia like the VHS tape. Almost every aspect of it has some tactility to it. Reels, gears, guard panels, ejectors. The last form of analog video media before the millennium turned and the digital world took the reins.
This keycap set is my love letter to that 10 year old boy, offering every piece of halloween candy he had in a last ditch effort to get a ride to Blockbuster so he can rent Twister just ONE more time.
The core of this set is an homage to vintage VHS packaging, with retro stripes, gray boxes, glyphs, logos, the fun stuff. It even has a mini-VHS enter key, which is without a doubt my favorite cap I've made on a set to date. I wanted to load this set up with personality, and for me, that comes from the UV-printed sublegends. It's a hard thing to articulate, but anyone who's dealt with it knows that feeling. The sheer confusion of having to navigate a foreign AV system... At your grandparents when it wasn't working and you were in extreme need of watching literally anything, at a friend's house in the middle of the night after the movie ended and they somehow aren't bothered by static fuzz, at your own house when you "accidentally" pressed the "don't ever press this" and you have to fix it before your parents find out. Contrasting that chaos, in brilliant blue, are a few caps to represent that bastion of borrowing, the Mecca of rental, the collector of late fees, the Blockbuster. To which no self-respecting VHS themed keycap set would be complete without.
