Dealer Button Design Thread (Fat Tire) (1 Viewer)

[Trihonda]

I'm creating a CPC set, along with an assortment of accessories (bounties, commem chips for the MTTD, and dealer buttons, all involving the Fat Tire theme. .

This dealer button is something that might potentially see play, but more often than not, my best intentions fall by the way-side, and my many dealer buttons are just "display" or "tribute" items to sets of chips I have or samples I collect.

That said, I plan to offer dealer button samples in conjunction with my CPC samples, once I get the CPC color sample set to confirm my nearly completed chip design. I will likely do ONE design, and that will be the one offered up.

I thought I'd put out some of the potential dealer button designs, and seek your wise counsel.

I feel like the "DEALER" text would be better if it matched the FAT TIRE POKER. Can you put it on an arc underneath the bicycle (same place "BREWING" is in the New Belgium logo). You don't really need the "DEALER" to be so prominent, IMO. The button is hard to confuse for anything else on the table.

How about putting the bike chain betting line pattern around the rolling edge?

Well... maybe, but then again, there's the new FT chips, the FT bounties (essentially the same chip, but smaller, and say's Bounty), oh, and the table (which is grey/black). Wanted to have a bold color to set it apart...

But there's some merit to having the bike a tad smaller, then having the "dealer" on the bottom, curved. Might look nice and classy.

This might be genius, if it could be pulled off? I'll defer to @p5woody

GOCC blanks might be slightly better with fine detail for the chains, if you want to try it.

I love the overall look of the middle one - but not with the yellow "DEALER". If you could arc the "DEALER" using the same font - you'd have a winner!

Match the font. The button on the left rocks. Perfetto.

Love the first two buttons. Would also get rid of yellow dealer and have it match the fat tire poker color and font and put it right below the bike. It just seems like the dealer text blocks the beauty of the button. Just an idea. What youre doing is awesome btw. Love the chips especially.

Who are you thinking for a manufacturer? OWPS? I have bounty chips and DB's from them, and even if you used the EXACT same design, there's no way you're mistaking one for the other. I think you'll be fine with reducing the "dealer" text.
