5 year Anniversary Chip - Windy Crest Poker Room (1 Viewer)

Bottom 2 fireworks are both good.

Edit: But I think #3 is my favorite of the fireworks.

I think I want to do something different with 'Years' - but I'm not sure what. Move to below the banner? font/color change?

Was just going to post this, I'd move the years back underneath like the mockup in post #64. Is this going on both sides, or just one with your standard chip on the flip side? If both sides are the anniversary graphic, the one thing I'd note is the room name is missing ;) . Would "Windy Crest" fit in the silver banner instead of Anniversary?

One side - the other will be the standard graphic.

I'll have @p5woody make a couple of mock-ups - I liked "anniversary' in the banner - I could do the years below, or even to each side of the big 5.

The next question is having black and white on reverse sides strange? Should I scrap the fireworks on the black background and switch it to white with balloons and/or confetti? I don't recall seeing a whole lot of black/white on the same chip, except maybe pillage and plunder?
 
Here are some ideas if you want to keep the commemorative side more uniform with the other side.

I apologize for the terrible Paint skills.
All silver background instead of white, and on the hand in the logo, with or without the Clubs, you could have a "5" for 5 years.

Regular chip, but instead of denom, just have the banner with "5 Years" across. I don't think you need to have the years listed.

I don't want to keep it that similar, I want that commemorative chip feel - but thank you for your outstanding paint skills ;)
 
I see the board of directors of Windy Crest Poker Room LLC want to focus on maintaining their brand identity so nixed the beer and cigars. These corporate types are no fun :p

We didn't nix beer and cigars - just the images on the chips :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I think the black/white would look fine, with the silver edging its not quite as drastic of a contrast as something like the pillage and plunder inlays. The only concern I have with the graphic at this point is how the 5 will print with the fireworks in the back - the shade effect on the denom may make it tough to read once printed. I think I would consider taking that effect off the 5 and either going a solid light silver or even white to make it more legible and stand out better. I like the fireworks effect :tup:

Definitely heading in the right direction. :tup:

Love image #2.
I would remove the word "years". Move the "5" to the right to center it (from left to right above the banner). Add "TH" if you want in small print to the upper right of the "5". Put "ANNIVERSARY" in the banner with "2015-2020" in smaller print centered under but still in the banner.

I of course, will 'get samples' ;) I like to have a test barrel printed before I order another 400-600 of these. But yes, I have some of those same concerns.
 
@CraigT78, could you make the whole fireworks part bigger, to really give it that “special edition” grand inlay feel?
 
Here is the latest fireworks $5.

Plus a few in another design:

I think I like the fireworks better. Thoughts on the adjustment to the 5 and the dates?

Edit: ignore the dates. p5woody and I went a few years back :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Definitely go with the fireworks. Looking again, I prefer the other fireworks graphics, but I'm not smart, so take it with a grain of salt.
