Thoughts from the owner:
The goal for this set was to push the limits of CPC and design something in a new style that I had not seen prior. As a Paulson snob I knew in order for me to actually place an order for CPC chips I would need to create something that could compare in vibrancy and excitement to some of my favorite Paulson sets. This was the first set to utilize a peach $5 at the time and I wanted it to be the star of the show. Went through countless revisions, but once I landed on that peach 3TA I instantly knew it was the chip for the job. Black inlays were also never my preference, but with the Moonlight name I knew I just had to figure it out. Clean, classy, but again with some vibrancy was my goal here. Something you might see as logo for a new high end lounge. Originally was planned as "Moonlight Cardroom", but the inlay just needed a little more oomph. Took some time to figure it out, but the spade house on the moon worked perfectly and was exactly the extra bit of creative detail I was looking for. Thus solidifying the name as "Moonlight Cardhouse". Color matching took a lot of trial and error with test prints as well as constant tinkering to get the glowing effect of the moon looking just right.
The tourney side of the set was an impromptu add-on. Took some chances doing this one without a color sample in hand, but extremely happy with the end result. Goals with this set were: 4 different colors per chip, no repeats across the set, and maintaining playability without getting too messy using so many colors. Wanted to maintain the same feel of the collection with the inlay as the cash set but still easily distinguished as not the same.
Thoughts from the committee:
Both the cash set and tournament set serve as examples of what can be achieved with CPC chips at the highest level. Black inlays very well executed and help to bring out the colors in the chips. Inlays are clean, simple, yet bold. The shaped inlays work well with the set and neon color matching works perfectly within both lineups. Excellence use of the CPC color palette throughout both sets. The spot patterns and color choices work well in both sets.
