First draft for 43mm Cards/Diamonds mold chips :

Tina's color wheel has been used.

Still to do :
- Try with the numeral instead of the location.
- Define fracs (218 for the 10c and 2V for the 50c ?) and a snapper (try moon ?).

for reference the colour of the $20 is arc yellow IRL.

If SOMEONE does a large DIAMOND mold group buy then you could get a 43mm Diamond Mold. Per Tina

Is that the 43mm hybrid folks have been talking about?

There is also another version of the 100k

Love those spots.

No, Diamond mold would not be HYBRID. Hybrid means having a recessed center for a sticker/label.

Yes, I knew what hybrid meant, but have never seen this diamond mold.

Oh! Yeah 39mm CARDS or DIAMOND mold has always been a thing. @Kid_Eastwood has some Sun-Fly in the gallery.

@Jake14mw , sure, I can do it if someone needs it.

Would anyone else like @Kid_Eastwood to add a red 500k chip to his WSOP tribute set? Honestly @Kid_Eastwood I wouldn't want you to bother doing it just for me, I don't think I would get them in play in my tournaments, just thought have an oversized added would be cool, I haven't tried any 43mm yet.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I don't mind creating one if there is a need for it.

 

[ktran]

They do actually have them listed on their Alibaba.

Million dollar Aria acrylic plaque group buy anyone? If not anyone have the orange or purple plaques for sale?

I got this in progress, but needs refinement.

 

[davislane]

If you want to do a mash up of the chips id be inclined to stick with chips from the same casino.

the 5c and 25c are too close in colour for my liking. Why not make the 25c a yellow $20 instead or the 5c an arc yellow $20? and the mirage $10 as a frac? the 5k as a $1?

Or you could do a cali colour mash up with a black dollar, yellow $5 and purple $25 and white hundo.

decisions decisions decisions.....

FWIW that Mirage $1 looks incredible

It was pretty much the Aria $1. I couldn't make a design that I like better and wasn't too close to Aria so I went went another theme.

Anyone think the Aria card mold tournament chips should be revised to where it is the normal cash set inlay? I was thinking it could be used for both cash and tourney if it was. Only thing off is the T25k would be the $25 which is fine with me. I don't mind having the $100 as $1 and $500 as $5. It's not that confusing to me. I think the word "tournament" and "No Cash Value" is not necessary and accurate. It would reduce the amount of chips shipped from Tina too.

I'm down for 625 chips if anyone wants to do this. I'm willing to run a small group buy if the artwork can be done. Might willing to run the group buy if artwork can't be done (if so only need 375 chips). Maybe 5 people including myself.

I am also just willing to buy from someone
200-300xT500
50xT5000
75xT25k

When you're sending custom artwork to Tina, what format does it have to be in? Some type of vector work file?

Yes. AI, EPS, or SVG but I recommend against SVG from Inkscape. Also flatten your text (create outlines).

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

PDF works too. Also, I'd transform the texts to paths.

 

[MatthewTreeTree]

There is also another version of the 100k

Tina ask for "before you saved as them, please kindly convert all of fonts to be paths"
What does this mean? I am new to Adobe Illustrator.
