The Flying Sausage Card Room - Tina Custom Ceramics Set (26 Viewers)

[Jabinator]

What feels like going through a gazillion themes and endless nights in front of Illustrator I am finally 75% certain that this is my final theme.
I don't have much experience in the do's and don't's of making custom poker chips regarding label design and chip colors and edge spots. I like that all chips have the same edgespot - so no edge progression here, except for the single .25 frac. Almost all the colors for the cash set is inspired (straight up stolen) from the Cocaine Giraffe set, which I absolutely love the colors and vibe of.

THE LABEL:

The label is inspired from the "Dog of Wisdom" short - you can find it here: Dog of Wisdom
It is stupid enough for me to spend 100s on my first custom set. And since the games I will run will not be serious and we will mainly be drunk most of the time - it is perfect for low stakes cash and chilled tourneys. I do want to remove currency symbol from the tourney set - but I might not do it. Haven't really decided on this yet, since no chips higher than $25 will be part of the cash game. I dunno. Again haven't decided on this yet.

THE CHIPS:

Again these are heavily inspired from the Cocaine Giraffe. Same edge spots throughout the set. I am not quite sure I want the frac to be a solid. The $25 is also one I am having a hard time figuring out - if I even want it to be green or if I should go with something completely different - but I also want to keep it true to the Vegas coloring.

WHAT I AM ASKING FROM YOU:
I need feedback and criticism on this set - from the design / decisions I made with the label, the edge spots, the colors, dirty stack issues etc. I would also like to hear from you if you have some experience or regrets from designing and ordering your custom set.

I'm trying to design some labels myself and I know how daunting it can be. They look great!

Cash set do .25 - $20 (add a $100 plaque if you think you need it)
Tourney do 25 - 5000

This way, none of your amounts crossover from cash to tournament.

Really sit with this a while. The only slight design/color issue I see is the darkness of the 100 and 500 chip. The lighting situation where you play will have a great deal to do with how workable that particular issue is. Otherwise it's a fine set though again I prefer variety but that's me. You said you like the same spot pattern so you do you.

Well done, sir! I think everything came out great. Label art can be tricky as you are working on a small area but the pertinent parts of your label are easily readable including the image. The only thing I could criticize is the small text (Est., year and cardroom) are tough to read. But that's nit picking. Overall, great job.

lovely logo

I say ship it. Sometimes analysis paralysis is bad. This set is absolutely stunning.

 

[ranger764]

I like the label design. Nice job

Nice set, design, and mockups. Good retro feel to inlay.

Partial red colour blind person's input. Lesser issue for many. $5 and $25 are the two my eyes see as the closest colours. Though I can see the difference in your image I worry about colour blind dirty stack without bright lighting. Yep, I struggle with it in your set mo kup. Interestingly I don't have the same problem for $25 vs $5000, buv they won't be in the same stack anyhow.

The label design is really well done. The cash set colors are great with the label in your mockups. Huge fan of your work!

Yeah it is back and forth all the time. I guess I am happy how they are now - I am glad you like them!

Cash set do .25 - $20 (add a $100 plaque if you think you need it)
Tourney do 25 - 5000

You said you like the same spot pattern so you do you.

That is a great suggestion! I think I am going to do the $20's in the cash game.
So you think the 100 and 500 would look too much alike in a darker environment? That is a good point! I will look into this!

Well done, sir! I think everything came out great. Label art can be tricky as you are working on a small area but the pertinent parts of your label are easily readable including the image.

Thank you! I agree with you. I might have to either increase font size or make it more bold to make sure they come out clean. I will do a test print on regular paper and hold the label an arms length away an see if the problem is still there.

I say ship it. Sometimes analysis paralysis is bad. This set is absolutely stunning.

Analysis paralysis is my middle name, man Thank you for your feedback!

Nice set, design, and mockups. Good retro feel to inlay.

Good point! I have a player who is color blind - I have to ask him if this is an issue for him! Thank you for your feedback! I didn't think of this!

Set looks nice!
A progressive spot pattern would help the color blind people i guess.

 

[drdr]

It would. But the spots as is are a nice fit, very set like. So many possible compromises.

Thanks, I am thinking about adding some kind of subtle progression to the set.
