Minimum of 25 you can order 30. That make sense.
Guilty as charged, for my cash set (in Tim’s queue) as well as my tourney set I tinkered with the Aces chipsWho is working on art from the ACES sets??
By the way, anyone else want to review the samples? If not, I’ll send them home.

I’d like to sample them, if available.
What happened to the Casino-centric chips? Would’ve thought of Brando instead of DeNiro on the “offer” chip and old Pacino on the “thought I was out” chip... Also, add me in officially for 2 sets.I promise it's the last time I post to the group on this . Figured out the pokerisgreat tool lol, so here's the final-ish lineup of mob movie all in/bounty/rebuy chips. Healthy dose of the previously discussed classics but I took the liberty of adding a Vito Corleone all-in chip and a Don Fanucci bounty.
Shoot me a message if you're interested. Hopefully we get enough that I'm not stuck with three and a half racks of mafiosi lammers

Well once I figured out the poker design tool and got a pretty great Italian flag motif, I realized Ace wasnt Italian lol. Same reason I got rid of Tony Montana, a Cuban.What happened to the Casino-centric chips?

I picked young Pacino for the pic because that’s when he’s “all-in,” and the quote cuzI think it’s a great quote for an all-in chip haha. As for young Vito, same concept I felt him whacking Don Fanucci was when he made his bones and really went all in on the life. Plus I thought it pared nice with the addition of Don FanucciWould’ve thought of Brando instead of DeNiro on the “offer” chip and old Pacino on the “thought I was out” chip...
I’d kick the Fanucci for the Nicky Santoro chip.Well once I figured out the poker design tool and got a pretty great Italian flag motif, I realized Ace wasnt Italian lol. Same reason I got rid of Tony Montana, a Cuban.

I've got one of @SeanGecko sample sest that I can send your way.I'd like them after @Ellasdaddy if possible.
There's your "alternate" lolMOARRRRR! Mockup a Brando alternate chip too!
Tourney set I pick AHey guys - here's my first attempt at "designing" a chip set. I use the term designing loosely as I basically used the Aces design with some slight tweaks. Even though I only have a few posts under my belt, I've been reading this forum for a long time and recognize and value the expertise here, so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
My thoughts around these designs:
Tournament set
Base color: I like the traditional colors, so I will likely not be changing the base colors, but will be open to suggestions around changing to lighter or darker shades of the standard base colors.
Edge spots: I like lots of spots! Open to hearing color suggestions or different spots for better progression. In general, I like the higher value chips to look "more expensive" than the lower value chips (while still have the low value chips look good). Not sure I've achieved that.
Inlay: I've copied the Aces text with a few changes. Changed the font to find a flatter 'y' in Woldy - otherwise the tail of the y pushes down the 'poker room' text too far. I've mocked a bunch of different label options.
Cash set
Base color: Again, trying to stay with "traditional colors". I am considering changing to a pink frac, using light blue for $1 and removing the white chip.
Edge spots: Chose to do spots at 120 degrees and add a spot for each chip in the progression, then change to triangles for the $20. I think there's probably too much light blue here. I don't really have an eye for what colors will work together. Also color blind, so that doesn't help...
Inlay: I've mocked up the same 'labels' as the tournament set. For the text, I didn't like how the Aces chips spell out the denomination so I deleted that as well as the location. This leaves it looking a bit empty. I wonder if I should increase size of the text and denomination to fill out the space more. I also think I may choose a different inlay for the cash set vs tournament set to make them visually more distinct from each other. Currently leaning towards the scallop for cash as it's visually a bit smaller which I think works better with less text.
Inlay Options
A - White with black outline and MN state image
B - White with black outline
C - White
D - Black
E - Black scallops
F - Black with subtle MN state image
G - Black with more pronounced MN state image
Bounty/Seating Chip
If there is interest we could split a min buy of a generic bounty/seating chip (bottom two bounty chip images). Otherwise, I will likely get 25 of the Woldy's Poker Room bounty chips with the white spots (top two bounty chip images), where I would hand write in table and seat numbers. That was my only idea of how to avoid buying 25 table 1 seat 1 chips and so on.

I thought I was on the list to get them but maybe not. So if you can send them to me I’d be thankful.By the way, anyone else want to review the samples? If not, I’ll send them home.

Don't know what you mean by print ready but shot you a pmSo all the all the designers I contacted are totally booked, probably because of this buy lol. Is there anyone else here that can turn a rough idea into print ready art? Thanks
They definitely need the rolling edge.Are you sure they really need/want the edge? Doesn't the top dictate the edge?
There's two methods in how they print. Printing the faces, then align the edge print by aligned the edgespot-spot of the print with the egdespot on the face, applying it to the right area of the edge to then wrap all around the side. It's not how they traditionally print edgespots like with Paulsons.Are you sure they really need/want the edge? Doesn't the top dictate the edge?
