What is acceptable?I'd recommend matching DotCom as closely as possible. Mine are pretty close to my eye, just a different font and tick marks, and I've hardly sold any panels at all!

Now that there is some activity here I would like to pose a question. I am getting ready to release some modules (VCF, VCO, Delay, VC EG, etc.), but I am not yet done with the panel design.
The question is: If I go with a look that is very different than the Moog/DotCom style will anyone still be interested ?
There is a rough example of what I am talking about in the photo section under 'MegaOhm Audio'(see Delta VCF MOA). This panel was done by FPE but the actual design will be done Metalphoto style with the turned sides and much nicer fonts and graphics. The FPE is actually a dumbed down version of what I want to do, but I would like to use the same knobs and I am leaning toward silver instead of the traditional black background.
What do you all think? It doesn't matter if your in the market to buy or you DIY everything. I'm looking for opinions. I just don't want to sink a bunch of money and time in something that nobody wants! I think the circuits themselves are excellent (especially the VCO) and it would be a real shame to have them sitting here and not in the field simply because nobody likes how they look!
All opinions/advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
