CPC Future Design Input (2 Viewers)

[TomC727]

I have started to brainstorm on my last CPC design before the closing date in April.

Background of the set.

My poker room is known as Anthony C's Memorial Poker Room, after my dad who passed away 3 years ago. I've gotten into trying to create a set based on this.

I already have a baseball themed set known as The Dugout (see link in my signature). This theme will be a little different.

The background is that my dad owned, at one point, the largest fireworks company in the United States (professional display company). Winner of multiple fireworks competition gold medals (see Montreal 2006, and Montreal all-star 2009). Huge company.

Anyway, I want the poker chips to convey the various colors of fireworks. My dad's business logo will be incorporated into the inlay. I haven't gotten that far yet with inlay design.

Anthony's Poker Room will be the title of the inlay with some form of the business logo.

Below are some of my brainstorming on chip design. I like the traditional chip base colors for $1, $5, $25, $100. I am attempting to incorporate a gold edge spot into one of the chips (gold is a major fireworks color). I haven't decided on what color in CPC is the best for gold (haven't arranged my samples in detail yet) so I went with butterscotch. The green chip is to highlight the various pastels that make up certain unique firework colors.

The black chip seems to me to have the most work to do.

What is the forum's opinion. I really enjoy the attention to detail here.

Step 1: Change the background color to something more neutral, like grey

Looks great (and expensive!)

Keep at it bro!

Step 2: pick a starting chip, the chip that will be your best looking and often fav chip, and build around that.

Keep in mind, the world is your oyster, you have a ton of options, why stick with the over used boring Nevada standard when you can FLY!

So I like to start by finding my base colors:

Then pick the chip that will be your focus and build around that

This is a great idea.

I found a picture of the logo and it has 3 main colors - Retro Red, Dayglo yellow, and Dayglo peacock. I think I may make these colors my base.

Also played around with simplifying the white chip and going crazy with the green and black.

Really spitballing here.

I see some improvement but not yet blown away by anything.

For a fireworks theme I would consider all Dayglo colour bases and use of many split spots alone or in combination.

 

[TomC727]

I'm liking this one but need to work on the red a little. Not liking the retro blue and dayglo yellow.
All bases are dayglo colors.

All the cool kids use dayglow peach as a base for the 5, it’s fantastic, and if I were to ever do another set it would likely be my choice.

Here's your chance to enquire about the premium for 4-dot.

Really liking that idea.

Do you have a pic of it by any chance.

I have none, myself

Are you working with a designer? Once you get an idea of what the label might look like that will probably help you on chosing the base and spot colors.

I plan on it.

I like the 5 - it almost has a pinwheel effect. Have you considered using the multi colors you have on the 25 on the 100 instead?

 

[FestiveKnight]

This is going to come out really really cool, love where you’re headed.

I liked the first $100 you showed, immediately reminded me of fireworks.

This latest $5 is a bit too dark and simple compared to the chips next to it, imo. I quite liked your 6DS18 option right before

 

[CardRally]

I really appreciate the concept, very cool.

My favorite five design is the retro red, dayglo yellow, dayglo peacock.

I think the black chip is very important, as to me that is the most reminiscent of a firework in the night sky.

This one?

 

[TomC727]

I may have found my final $100 design.

Now I need to start playing around with the green.

Yes. Love the two different 18 spot colors!

Love where you’re getting.

 

[TomC727]

I'm really feeling these two.

 

[TomC727]

Possibly my favorite. Have to decide if I want bright white instead of dayglo tiger in the 3V12. Probably bright white since I have no bright white edge spots.
