CPC Chip Design Tool Mockup Challenge - Advanced Color Combos - Nominations (1 Viewer)

[FestiveKnight]

Loved the Circus Circus design competition back in 2021. There are a bunch of new designers to the forum, design meta has maybe shifted with some great CPC stuff the last few years, and I assume I am not alone in feeling a strong attraction to the CPC design tool right now.

Shamelessly stealing/adapting the formatting for this from @wonderpuddle, hope that's alright.

Let's nominate 10 folks for a design competition. I will supply a small prize for the winner.

Rules.....

1. This contest will use the CPC Chip Design Tool:
   
   http://www.pokerchipdesigntool.com/
   
   
2. If you are nominated, please reply with "in" if you are in or "out" if you are not interested. You are welcome to post designs in the thread, but the official competitors will be the first 10 nominated who reply "in."
   
   
3. The theme of this challenge will be "Advanced Color Combos." Here are some guidelines.
   
   Spots: 314+ only
   Colors: Each of the spots much be a unique color. This challenge is about interesting color combos, thus the other variables being tight. On each chip, the three spots need to be different, and then those colors can't be reused for spots on other chips. With 5 denoms, you will be using 5 base colors + 15 spot colors. The base color can be reused for spots.
   Mold: Diamond Square
   Inlay: Simple, initialed hotstamps. Such as these.
   Denoms: 25¢/$1/$5/$25/$100
   
   
4. Once we get at least ten contestants, those contestants should submit their mockups to me privately and I will place all of them anonymously into a poll. The top four mock ups will then move onto a final four bracket.
   
   
5. Deadline to submit designs will be Friday, 02/07 by midnight PST.
   

Voting will take place shortly thereafter.

Maybe someone has some mockup of hotstamped denoms we can provide?

Here is a nonsense lineup just using the colors in order in the tool to show what I mean about unique color. The base colors can be reused as spots, but all the spot colors have to be unique from all other spots.

[demonnic]

I'll nominate @Okku

 

[Okku]

Sounds like fun! I'm in!

 

[Cratty]

Not apart of the submission (partially because the color schemes would likely be obvious).. but for fun drafted up a quick Jolly Roger hotstamp set with the theme (25c-100 within rules), then added on 500, 1000, 5000 and broke some of the rules. I'll do another for the comp.. but sharing because damnit I might need to do something here.. ha.

Glad the constraints are a source of inspo! I quite like that $100. The heavily blue $1 seems an obvious choice for jolly roger

 

[FestiveKnight]

Any other nominations for designers?

 

[Sprouty]

I've seen this before somewhere....

 

[Cratty]

I've seen this before somewhere....

Yeah, you led one of the first ones right (if not the first)? Know that's where @Josh Kifer had his chipdust inspired from..

That said, seems like both you and he need to do another as well.. because I want to see one of you spiral into another HOF set. Lol

And of course @JeepologyOffroad probably needs to join so we can all lose and be humbled.

@JeepologyOffroad ? Humbled?

 

[FestiveKnight]

@Josh Kifer @Sprouty @JeepologyOffroad yall in?

 

[Taghkanic]

So are we allowed to include a hotstamp design other than just a monogram per the original post?

 

[Josh Kifer]

@Josh Kifer @Sprouty @JeepologyOffroad yall in?

 

[Sprouty]

@Josh Kifer @Sprouty @JeepologyOffroad yall in?

 

[Joe Harris]

I nominate @kirchhausen

 

[Sprouty]

I'm way out of my element for this one. It's gonna be tough.

 

[demonnic]

What about @MrRossKeys ?

 

[CincinattiKiddo]

If you are really looking for an extra competitor, I will give it a shot. Just looking for some more instructions on the inlay, what's expected

 

[Sprouty]

Maybe someone has some mockup of hotstamped denoms we can provide?

I'm thinking that we should try to use the same denoms if possible. I am also wondering that if we use initials for the reverse side of it will possibly give away who's mock up is who's. Just some additional thoughts.

I think I'm done already. Just need help with hot stamps.

 

[Sprouty]

TRK cash denoms would be sweet!

 

[FestiveKnight]

I don't know how folks make hotstamps for the design tool. @Taghkanic your submission had "PCF" stamps on it. Mind providing those for everyone. We do that for one side, denom for the other. Does someone have denom hotstamp inlay things?

 

[FestiveKnight]

@kirchhausen @MrRossKeys interested?

 

[kirchhausen]

Sure I'll give it a go, sounds fun

 

[Gunnar]

This is going to be fun to see!

I mocked it up in a photo editor as a transparent PNG so only the “foil” letters would show. I can send you the file and you can share it with others if you like.

There is an option in the Inlay section of the mockup tool which lets you upload the PNG.
