Also, @Eloe2000 @K ALL IN 9 @TheDuke do you think spacing needed for "el"? Almost looks like a little door in the desert, or top hat for the cactus with the E and L touching.

Don't know that it matters or that we could even change it at this point, just figured I'd see what you think.

I agree, the “el” is easy to miss. Maybe just need to make it a touch larger and space it higher.

OK boys and girls, I need your opinions. Is the blue in the Texas icon too bold? It's OK if it stands out a little more than the brewing icons in the background, but is it too dark and bold of a shade? Should I go with a slightly lighter shade of blue, or leave it alone?

Maybe a tad lighter, as @BGinGA said — but this is a bloody fantastic chip! The detail on the inlay printed so well.

I love this chip as it is. It represents the Texas Flood, so it should be visible. If the wavy Texas were as light as the barley and hops, it might as well be the Beer Poker Club lol.

Also, selfishly, I'm reaaallly glad the detail came out as well as they have on these because I heard rumors that my tournament set would have issues printing, but after seeing this compared to what I recall of your submission, I have the utmost faith now.

!!!THREE CHEERS FOR TINA!!! HUZZAH!!!
 
They look good. Some are tough to tell in the photos because the center of the photo is in focus, but the outer edges are out of focus. On the Vegas series chip, the 500 looks blurry to me. Is that normal for the edge of a white area?

I believe that has to do with the nature of the printing process. The blank chips are white, and printing a load of color only to leave a tiny bit out for white is going to have slight bleed/blurriness. It's why the standard Aces chips also are just ever so slightly "fuzzier," so to speak, than the Golden Nuggets or the Texas Flood Poker Clubs. Easier to get a little color with a lot of white than a lot of color with a little white.

EDIT: looks like there were also strokes around elements on that chip, don't know if there was a stroke on the denomination but if there was it might just not have come through

I think it's just the texture of the chip, I thought the same thing of my Aces chips when I first got them, but generally ceramic chips that are textured would have the imprint appear supposedly blurry. And as @Kid_Eastwood pointed out, the white outline in SERIES as some bleed in 3 letters. Plus the white outline around POKER is thinner than the original WSOP chip they're based off of so with that dark inlay color it could be a bit difficult to read.

Also was pointed out the base color is off from the original vector design, and somewhat appears to blend in with the inlay color. I personally don't mind all this at the moment, but would love to see all of the chips in my ordered set so I can make a better decision for them.

Are you from Texas? if so leave as is, if you are a transplant you could mute the color some, but I would not, i like it as is, I think when you mute it, it will get lost

It looks ok to me, but I also don’t mind changing it. It would just take me a sec. Actually working on the bounty/rebuy buttons today. Let me know if you guys think it is worth changing. I was more worried that my shaped inlays wouldn’t like up with the inner circle but they are perfect.

But let me say I think these look fantastic overall. I am pumped.

Haha mine didn’t make the video either. Seeing all these pics is awesome tho.

Those casa mango pinks look sweet @Eloe2000

My pink quarter was the one chip I was worried was going to come out too dull and was second guessing my choice. But they look electric.

Yours look incredibly classy and I reallly appreciate the subtlety of you inlay and the inlay color on those whites 1s.

Looks good to me, but if you guys want to tweak it I'm good with that too.

Not as active lately (finally getting back to real life) so I haven't followed this thread much.

They look beautiful! Great job on these guys!

Wow I like your chip. Big fan. And I feel for ya, I got to see two of my sets :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Speaking of which..... @Eloe2000 & @timinater you see them sexy thangs? Thanks again.

For everyone else, I'm an idiot. Do YOU know the Clown Motel? I'm in love with these chips now. I just love clown/circus chips in general, but had no idea wtf these were and googled Tonopah NV.

" The Clown Motel, located next to the Tonopah Cemetery, is a popular place to stay because of all the reports of being haunted by 'ghost clowns' and miners who were killed in the Belmont Mine Fire. The motel was featured as a haunted located on Travel Channel's paranormal TV series' Ghost Adventures in 2017 and Most Terrifying Places in America in 2018. "

Guys, my chip set has been on TRAVEL CHANNEL! I had no idea. I'm calling it, Clown Motel chips win the group buy!

(@timinater, we obviously are going to have to add some "ghost clowns" for bounties on my re-up order)

They are fantastic.

I was like:
"Piggyback on New China Club?"
"Piggyback on Clown Motel?"
"Piggyback on New China Club?"
"Piggyback on Clown Motel?"
"Piggyback on New China Club?"
"Piggyback on Clown Motel?"
"Piggyback on New China Club?"
"Piggyback on Clown Motel?"

Should have just done both!
 
@SeanGecko Numbers look good on mine, but mill logo is missing from the artwork within the file. Sounds like this is just a numbers check, but please let me know if artwork needs updating for whatever reason.
 
I will attempt to update all the excel files tonight and tomorrow. If you can send me a pm and your art work in a jpeg. That would be helpful

Oh @IaHawk resend your art it's coming up unable to view for Tina.
