Custom Ceramics - "W" Poker Room - Feedback! (1 Viewer)

[otbdave]

Here is where I am at so far with my designer for a custom ceramic setup that I will be using for cash games. Eventually I will have 25c, $1, $5, $25, $100 denominations and maybe $500 plaques mostly for novelty.

I've also included a picture of my tournament set, those are the china clays. With the ceramics I was going for a sort of "arcade-y, geometric" look. It is inspired by the stock "Dropa Discs" set sold at some places. I'm still planning to play around with the colors and rolling edge design. I'm not sure I like the denominations on the rolling edge at all even though I get that edge printing is one of the draws of ceramics. I will be getting 'unaligned' chips.

Just wondering what everyone thought? I think they are pretty radical so they will probably be pretty polarizing but that is ok!

YOU GOT YELLOW????

I love the design - but the color of the frac and the single are too close for my taste.

Interesting concept on the ceramics, although I think you will have stack problems with the lt blue .25c & grey $1 in less than optimal light.

Maybe a pink quarter? or do a darker blue for the quarter? Can you do a bright white for the dollar?

My first thought was darker blue 25c (white denom, similar to the $5) and white for the $1.

This was sort of my thought, but I was more like...

WHAT THE HECK?! YOU GOT YELLOW???!!!!!

The angled denominations tilt me, figuratively and literally. Otherwise, I dig the overall design.

That's funny, THIS was part of the reason I loved them!!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I do think I'm going to modify either the $1 or the 25c, maybe make the center color in the single be purple like the dropa discs chips?

Or I could also modify the rolling edge designs some on the quarters.

These are the stock "dropa discs" for reference that were used for inspiration.

YOU GOT YELLOW????

I have one rack of the yellow and one rack of the pink, neither see much play in my tournament structure.

Love the ceramic design! Very cool. I agree with others that you should play around with the edge color on the .25 and 1.

I've gotta ask, what's the significance of the 5 7 spades in the tournament inlay?

The "W" as it stands looks a bit like an "N" with a tail. Maybe separate the other diagonal, something like this:

Well that is the "house hand" of course, it is called poop truck.

Here is my full tournament set

 

[SeanGecko]

It is a perfect "5 out of 7"

Look it up. It is pretty funny.

I think you need to go darker on the blue quarter, or else pick another base colour entirely, in order to avoid blending with the white $1.

Why is the background colour on the red $5 different from the other two chips? Should it match with the text colour of the denom? That's what the other two chips do.

The rolling edge is a very small height. The denom among your graphic elements may be difficult do discern with the naked eye.
