Artwork discussion for new Paulson chips (1 Viewer)

[Psypher1000]

I can't think of any game where a quarter and a 500 would both be in play though.

You're probably right, but I'm thinking of it from a supply management/fullfillment perspective. If there's a color that is used for multiple denoms then the odds of me sending the wrong chip to someone go up significantly. Similarly, if I'm placing a reorder at a glance then I can't as easily do it simply by color.

Thanks for doing this Josh and J5.
All designs are very good imo.
C, D, E are better because there's less overall white and stacks/pots will be easier to distinguish.
Those 3 are too close to call so I'd be happy with either.

This combination and simplistic design is fantastic, I know you said you don’t want to do a whole set but I personally think that would be a huge mistake.

Will they allow the denomination?

Any chance to see a tournament line up with this design?! I love this simple clean and modern look.

 

[SWEATER]

Here is where we are heading. One of these designs will be what we are going with.

Will the Apache Chip happen down the road?

I agree 100% I would get a 1200+ chip 30 person tournament set of these clean modern ones. With the other selected busier design I'm only getting a small 10-person 350-400 chip set.

 

[justincarothers]

C for sure

If there is enough demand I will do a full set. I will need at least 10,000 in orders for this to happen.

 

[Rhodeman77]

This design seems to be the easiest to see all of the denominations at arms length.

 

[BeesKnees]

Much nicer to see the whole lineup. I’ve changed my mind.

A and A2 are definitely saturated with white and that is going to cause issues.

B is my new first pick, the lighter undertones on the leaf are accented by the edge spots, everything seems to work together.

C is a close second, the darker tones keep the focus on the denomination.

D the contrasting black and white make this way too busy, very distracting.

E The black ring pops out and it’s all I can see. I feel like if I played a game with these I would see black rings in my sleep.

C

And would love a coordinating .25

 

[jbriod]

I love the design behind the denom. Darker and its easier to read. I would have liked to see something with shaped inlays. rough sketch.

 

[namsupak]

I like the E

 

[krafticus]

C is also my favorite

 

[Darthhoodie]

B or C work for me and I would love a frac and a chip with no denom

@Apache when do you anticipate accepting orders?

thx!

Edit: I like E as well

 

[BeagleStorm]

Wow 10k is quite a reasonable number. if there was a 100k and a bounty chip and maybe designed as a tournament set so you could drop the $1 and use the blue for 25K and tan for 100k

 

[krafticus]

A bounty chip would be awesome (yes, I know many use the 5 as a bounty, but the bounty in my game is not $5).

 

[Justin Olson]

ws1c

 

[DCM1986]

I vote for WS1C, but I would also really love to see a frac for this set

 

[Dr Newnham]

Agreed, i will require fracs too, please @Apache!

 

[allforcharity]

Must be same inlay both sides? I probably missed this part.

 

[echoseven]

I'm liking C best.

 

[Mental Nomad]

I prefer either of these, a lighter and a darker:

With the white text rings or black text rings, the chips look too "same."

I also wouldn't be against alternating the light background with the dark background... so, for example, the 1 from a B set, the 5 from the C set, the 25 from the B set, the 100 from the C set... or vice-versa. This would bring a little extra contrast between adjacent denominations...


That would give us something like these:

I do really like the faux shaped inlays.

Also, I'm a big proponent of a frac and a non-denom chip. I'd be getting both.

Edit: I like that they don't have a currency symbol (international appeal). I'd love the frac to be 1/4 and not 0.25...

 

[joepro]

Another vote for C. Ws1C

FTW!

 

[BSteck]

Any chance for a 100k (or at least a NCV) chip?

1/4?? : Isn't 1/4th of 1 = .25 regardless of currency, does it not?

 

[Mental Nomad]

1/4?? : Isn't 1/4th of 1 = .25 regardless of currency, does it not?

If they're the same, why do you care?

Seriously, though, the decimal place is easily missed, PLUS the decimal place isn't a period everywhere. Some places use a comma. Avoiding it as well as not having a currency symbol keeps the set international.

The .25 is also easily confused for the 25 chip. Unless there's a 20 instead of a 25, I much prefer 1/4 to .25.

I also wouldn't be against alternating the light background with the dark background... so, for example, the 1 from a B set, the 5 from the C set, the 25 from the B set, the 100 from the C set... or vice-versa. This would bring a little extra contrast between adjacent denominations...

Interesting idea. What about one side darker and the other lighter?

 

[Mental Nomad]

Thought about that, but you lose the "enhanced contrast" feature.

Also, though I know CPC doesn't charge extra for two-sided chips, this company might.

Lastly, complexity leads to more errors... on the other hand, some people here love finding error chips...

Interesting idea!! I would say that the bottom arrangement would be needed though as the yellow 1000 chip with the light background is very difficult to read at a distance. The darker version works fine though.
