@jonn1ecakes , the color of the $1 are quite off. I'd go with 2597C or 2935C for more contrast. Maybe selecting a slightly ligther green could be a good idea.

@AnteAndy , the colors are quite off, you shall pick the ones from the link above to fix the incorrect ones (base color and inlay !). Also, it seems that my latest changes with bold outline have not been taken into account. In my last design, the outline of Poker is touching the one of the suits and series text.

Some nice chips coming out of this gb.

 

[Jake14mw]

I love those Casa Mango chips!

 

[jonn1ecakes]

2597C

@Kid_Eastwood Yeah I agree. I can see the $1 getting mixed with the $100. I think a lighter blue would be better. I also think a lighter green on the $25.

@SeanGecko do we PM you the possible color changes?

It looks like the card mold chips that used in this sample and the previous are different. The mold indention looks deeper. But this could all be with the lighting in the photograph; the previous photo (middle) had the light more directly centered towards the chip, while the second sample (right) is more above the chip pointing downwards.

Also it appears the texture between the two samples are different, with the first sample having the sandpaper finish that the final product has, while the second sample appears more smooth in texture. Again, this could be because of lighting or even photo quality taken. I even notice a difference between the two $100 Aces chips I worked on:

I'll speak with Tina more about this (sorry I'm seeing your girl behind your back, @SeanGecko ) and be sure to confirm some of this information with her, especially with the revised design I sent her of the emboldened white outlines, since I confirmed it with her multiple times, and even sent me a design of it to me as a way of confirmation I believe, which I told her it was correct.

I actually don't mind the T25k color,.Plus I figured they'd use more of that color pink for the base T5k, which I personally like more. The T100 looks good, but the T1k looks a bit washed out. If they can't do a more vibrant color close to the original T1k base, I'll just go with a more yellow color (I'm showing the original VPS design that did not have the embolden white outlines just for color comparison sake).

I should probably take some photos of my chips when I get back home and compare them to the photos between my previous order and this order for my Aces chips.

Tina confirmed that these photos were taking with a different lighting and different cellphone used to take the photos with, so that could sway some judgment. I asked her if she could take photos of the samples again using the same lighting placement and using the same device to take photos of them that was used in the previous sample photos.

I definitely see what you are talking about but wouldn’t worry. For example, in my Casa Mango set, the quarter and 5000 chip on the right of the image look fine and like all, of the other chips we have previously seen. On the left you see the effects of very harsh single source listing in addition to in-camera photo processing.

I went with a similar design to the VPS with slight differences in the colors, but this is a little worrisome. Now waiting anxiously to see more sampling.

 

[Himewad]

I went ahead and scrolled through all of those Pantone colors, and marked down the colors that I think most closely match my original designs.

It would be really great if we could get the Pantone color codes that they are using for our chips. For example, on my $20 chip:

If they were to tell me that they are using a base color of "PANTONE BLACK 6 C", and edge spot colors of "PANTONE 1655 C" and "PANTONE 109 C" then I could refer to the chart SeanGecko shared, and see if it matches my expectations.

PANTONE BLACK 6 C:

PANTONE 1655 C:

PANTONE 109 C:

I guess now I wait to see my prototypes.

@Ellasdaddy
I admit, the colors presented between my phone and computer are fairly different. My phone screen has more vibrancy than my computer screen. So maybe check on your mobile phone just to be sure.

I did speak with Tina and she took photos of the earlier T500 samples when she placed them on her desk.

These were obviously the first T500 samples she sent, where the recent samples posted by Sean last night are just printed on one side, and used different lighting and camera as stated by Tina.

I still believe the two samples used different chips, but Tina still says it's the same. So it could all just be from the camera. I tried asking Tina several times if she can grab these latest samples and take photos of them from her device that she used her with the chips on her keyboard and desk, but no response yet. Most likely they're done for the day since they're roughly 12 hours ahead of us depending on your timezone here in the US. Hopefully she responds back with them later this evening.

 

[Himewad]

For that matter, it would be great if everyone shared their Pantone color codes. Because sometimes I see a color on these prototypes, and I think, "THAT'S the exact color that I want for my chip!"

Haven't seen a bad set thus far — but these are probably my faves:

As I said above, make sure she uses my latest design with bold outline. The outline of Poker shall mix with the one of the suits and the text "series".

I did, I made that clear to her as much as possible.

 

[Racer96]

Ok, so, I completely missed this, as I was moving to France.
I just saw the ACF chips, and, well, is there any way to still get in on that?

Or could I possibly order myself later using the artwork? Who do I need to contact about that?

Thanks for any help!

You can absolutely order a set from any time from this company. We were just trying to get costs down with a 10,000 chip order. But I believe we are way past 70,000 chips now.

As for the artwork, several designs were opened up to the public. I think maybe @Kid_Eastwood was on those ACF chips so you would have to ask him.

 

[BarrieJ3]

So I'm catching up. I've seen all the updates with colors and such, but with the cheaps being so cheap, I figured I wouldn't care (don't want to change anything and create more work for anyone on production end). And I don't necessarily, but then I thought about the fact that I'll probably want another order of 2-3k to add on, so in that regard I do kinda care.

The problem is I can't quite tell what the chips (Viva el Donkey & Clown Motel) actually look like as the pictures seem to vary with lighting. I thought that the Clown Motel's might appear a bit brighter. I looked up a Pantone color thing to help if I want to alter, but I don't know what the current Pantone colors are. @SeanGecko are those possibly listed in some type of production sheet thing? I'll check PMs.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I'm not sure if in low light the base color of the T25 could be mixed with the T500.
So as I had the possibility to piggy-back on an ongoing SunFly order, I just ordered a 2nd version of the T25.

Pre-shipping pr0n from this GB

New T25 prototype that I validated at SunFly

And since I ordered at SunFly, I also ordered a 60mm dealer button and 5 HORSE 49mm game buttons (one face 1st orbit and one face 2nd orbit)

When I'll have both T25 on hand, I'll decide which one I'll keep and sell the other ones as "test barrels".

Fwiw..... based on my experiences with and understandings of ceramic chips, I would find it incredibly difficult to believe that they have two different versions of the same ceramic blank, or could/would consider them interchangeable. I mean, it's feasible, but it goes against the grain of what ceramic chip production and process control is all about -- consistency and repeatability.

Photos, however, are notorious for displaying identical items differently, depending on a slew of variables (and especially if not tightly controlled) -- equipment, settings, operator, lighting, environment (background, angles), plus different types of viewing equipment, etc. .... even the physical eyes of the viewing human(s).

 

[Eloe2000]

FWIW I am a professional photographer. The chips posted earlier today were photographed with harsh single source direct lighting while the previous photos were taken with more diffuse and possibly multiple source lighting. Additionally there seemed to be some in-camera/phone processing that I tested the micro contrast like many cameras often do. I can’t speak to the colors on all of your chips, but those photos sent today are definitely misleading.

 

[jr8719]

Going to reflect what @Eloe2000 and @BGinGA have just said: the photos taken are in no way representative of the actual chips when you have them in-hand. Definitely to do with the lighting and settings on Tina's phone.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

@BGinGA & @SeanGecko have you seen a sample of the ACFs with the fixed T25 to make it close to sherbert green ?

@Racer96 , FYI

 

[SeanGecko]

I have not

 

[BarryWhine]

For the ACF. I think the green is not so off... I would chose a slightly darker for the yellow

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

the art she has for us. View attachment 518306

I just realized that the color name is below the color and not above.
So 7487 is the green we may need (instead of 7486 which is the one that will be sampled if I'm not wrong). We'll see when the samples will be produced. The first sample for 7488 (for @BarryWhine set) and they were too dark in my opinion.

@BGinGA , FYI, let's wait for the ACF samples (with 7486). If they are too light, we can go with 7487.

We wait for a very nice pr0n with good lighting etc...
