Hey all!!
Hope you all well, COVID has me stir crazy, so I have been toying with the idea of a custom set of chips, and thinking of designs that could do.
I am buying a tournament and cash set relatively soon, and none of the production ceramic chip designs I have handled I like enough for a full 700 cash set and a 400 or more T25 set. Plus, it adds game security with customs.
I wanted to do a CPC set, but I don't wanna pay that much for chips just yet . So, I have decided upon ceramics for a lower cost (in relation to CPC Clays), the ability to have more complex art, and durability. I have a really awful mock-up of the art concept I want, and used CPC chip maker to see if I liked the art as an inlay, or if I should ditch the idea of edge spots on the front and back of the chip and make the image go almost all the way to the edge
So with all of this said, i have some questions, and would appreciate any feedback you have on the design of the chip itself and my image.
Edge Spot ideas.

- Where do you usually go to hire a Ceramic chip designer?
- What is the average cost of doing so?
- Do you like the edge spots and progression? Or should I scrap that and just put edge spots on the rims of the chips and make the art go almost to the edge of the chip with a border?
- Who do you usually order from? I am thinking BRPro Poker
Edge Spot ideas.

- I will be using denoms, I just can't use anything other than paint, and don't know how to do the rest. Denoms would below the possum and possibly a few chips
- 25¢, $1, $5, $25, $100, $500, $1000, $5000
- I am considering text of some kind. Maybe something silly like "Awesome Possum Casino"
- The circle in the mock-up is just from the button the original image is from, I'd like to center the possum and his chips/cards more and work on filling in dead space. If I go with no border, or a small one, I'd like the image to be blown up more and fill in more dead space on the chip
- Should all my edge spots be the same on every chip? Or should I make them all different?
-Cheers
