Alternative Label for Ceramic Aurora Star? (1 Viewer)

[Archonyx]

So here's my dilemma I'm hoping for some advice with:

I'm getting things ready for this month's Justin group buy. After diving down the rabbit hole a fair bit, I've (unsurprisingly) decided I love the Aurora Star tournament coloring, which leads me to want to pull the trigger on this card mold, Aurora Star tourney look-alike set:

However, I'm also mindful of how much better folks seem to think the web/greek hybrids are compared to the no- or card-mold Tinas (spinners, etc.)

As a result, I'm working on some alternatives that preserve the same colors as the AS set, but that use the web mold. (I know the Starnite set does this already, but I don't particularly like the label design.)

What do folks think between these options?

Option 1:

Option 2

I'd be open to any good ideas folks have seen for different inlays used with this color scheme. (I saw photos of a great Nakatomi Plaza set, but those are no-mold I believe, and I'm trying to find something that works well with web mold).

Thank you!

I've never seen a cash set and tournament set that all use the same chip colors (with the only difference being the labels). Seems like that could lead to chips being mixed between the sets.

There wouldn't be any overlap - I'm not getting any of these colors for my cash set. (I'd building a cash set using Panda KGB labels and standard KGB colors.)

I'm already getting some Panda KGBs as a cash set, to the extent it matters, so that's why I gravitated toward that label for a white option, but honestly I'd be open to any good ideas folks have seen for labels, here.

Thank you!

Just put cash label on one side and tournament on the other!! Versatility!!

If you leave the tournament pandas on, youll have a better chance of resale / adding on, just fyi.

What do you mean by "leaving them on"?

Just to be clear (since there seems to be some confusion), this is all just to make a tournament set. None of these chips would be used for a cash game, just trying to figure out some good ideas for label.

Hell, even more reason to leave both labels, one on each side. Drop the $ and make the denomination font the same on both!

I'm so sorry, but I'm now extremely confused (although maybe I caused the confusion!) by folks' references to "leaving" the labels or to having different labels on each side. Let me try one more time!

I am about to order some (tournament-only) chips from Justin's latest group buy.

I like the colors from the AS set, and am looking to design a set of tournament chips that use those colors, on a web mold. I need to now figure out what set of labels I'm going to use for these chips, and I'm deciding between a few different options. One such option is the white Panda KGB labels. Another option is the black Empress Star Tourney labels. And if folks have seen other labels used on these chip colors before, I'd love to see any ideas that folks have been really impressed with!

Hope that clarifies - I do not current have any chips with labels on them to "leave" on (?), and I'm not sure why I would put different labels on each side of the chips (?)

Or you could do something ‚special‘ with the labels?

Whoops my bad. I meant leaving the panda labels on the original panda chips. For example if you no longer need them but someone was looking for chips, theyd like the chips to look the same as the other chips rather than look like empress stars.

Or you could start a trend too with your new pattern and forget about resale.

Go with your heart ultimatly get what you like. You can build your perfect set so don't compromise if youre going to keep it forever.

Got it. Hope my follow-up post clarified. (I don't have any "original panda chips" - this is all stuff I'm looking to order)

So, now that that little bit of confusion is out of the way, I've updated the OP and would be curious if anyone has ideas/opinions on which of these look better to you! I also did a little photoshopping and here's another potential idea as well:

Not a big deal but I always wondered why the Tiger chips have commas for 25k but not 1k and 5k. Any thoughts?

Because I think most, if not all, casinos do it that way.
