Grüße zurückGrüße aus dem sonnigen Köln
nicht ganz aus Köln, aber ziemlich dicht dran 
Thx!
I would suggest putting the "Est 2022" in the denom colour to balance it out. Otherwise looks great!

Looking a lot better
Personally I'd make the main text a little bit smaller so there's a slightly bigger gap between it and the circle - and further to Darsons comment about the Est. 2022 I'd lose the full stop and capitalise the EST. I think lowercase letters can be problematic.

Thx again for the feedback! I made the main text that big after I did the armlength test, and even with a laserprinter it looks very tiny, i guess it also has a lot to do with the normal paper I used. David told me, that overall it's fine, but I will try to decrease the space between the letters.
I appreciate the hints about a big EST and to color this as well.... But I really think that this textsize (5 or 6 points max) will be even harder to read in a colored version and because of that I changed the complete denom color to a 25% lighter setting (as you can see above) because the "CT" was very hard to recognize.... but I will give it a try !!

Yeah - only talking the smallest smidgeon for the main text. I think the distance the bump in the bottom of the S is is the closest I'd want that text to the circle - the top of the R I just think is the tiniest bit too close. But it's not a biggie though.
Are the base color of the chips and denoms right now totaly random and just examples how the Inlay and the base color match? Or is your intention to not use standard base colors for the denoms?
Do you have a CPC color sample?

The "Est 2022" is not something that needs to be readable from an arms length - I think it's fine if it's dim, it's only ever gonna be read once anyway.
Well, I don't have a color sample set. But I check out a ton of threads discussing this topic and I checked out a lot of sample images (even under daylight conditions that come as close as it could) and after all, even that the "new" CPC colors are a bit brighter than the old ASM colors, I have an ASM set and it gives me at least a good idea, of how the colors will turn out.
Someone has been so kind to post a thread with the cymk color codes of the CPC colors. So based on these numbers I created the inlays, but the denom I made 75% of 100 so it becomes a bit brighter and in the end better readable... it's not a problem with dayglo arc yellow for example, but when I use imperail blue or dayglo orange, the color is just too dark and so it becomes hard to read...
The inlay color is based on a) the chip color or b) on a color of an edge-spot... I did this in my first set and I love the result. In the 3 pics above, the retro red chip has a retro red colored inlay, the dayglow arc yellow has a dayglo orange colored inlay and the bright white has a yellow one...
Here are the little changes: the Est. is now EST in a colored version, and the ROUNDERS COLOGNE is now 9,4 instead of 9,8 points. When I decrease the distance between the letters, they will "cross" each others outlines and it looks ugly ... so I reduced the overall size a bit...
After all, I ain't sure if the colored EST will come out great with the darker colors... but like Darson said: you only read it once....

On our last PCf meet up @Thomacetti gave me a free CPC color sample. I can send it to you for free. You just have to send for free afterward to @Mr_Y3RAC. The sample should regularly send to members in europe.
you got pm ;-)

If you ask me, keep the est 2022 white for sure. Not everything has to be color matched and as you said, readability suffers quite a bit.Here are the little changes: the Est. is now EST in a colored version, and the ROUNDERS COLOGNE is now 9,4 instead of 9,8 points.

Edit: due to automatic google translatio, the text has been included in german in the first try… thar wasn‘t the plan 
and I run into some technical issues while uploading the images, so I had to place the DG peach in the next post…
well, my first idea was use DG arc yellow as base, but I think that DG peach looks better between the retro red and blurple chip…
Denoms are just placeholder

I'm not a fan of having the denomination colour match the base of the chip.
If you must do this, then at least outline the numbers in white to match the text.

Here is the last and final version with some minor changes to text size. And I added a black element below the cathedral so it look like is combined with the background. This will be the print version... Thx a lot to all of your productive and helpfull ideas and feedbacks!
