My only suggestion is to seize every opportunity you can for $20 instead of the $25 in your cash chips.

Yeah I hear you, and I may end up getting different labels one day for those, but as it stands, there are already 50 labeled with $25!

I kinda took it upon myself and used my own judgement to mix and match many of the labels! Fingers crossed, this might be the final edit!

I made some finalizing changes to my new labels, and created a new 10k chip. Just wanted to have a place to drop these pictures! Hope someone enjoys!

I have some difficulty seeing the thin "Whaley" text especially being blue on blue. You might want to pick a bolder font or size it up a little.

Have you printed out labels to see how they look at actual size?

Not yet, but once you click on the picture and see it a little closer, it doesn’t appear too light to me. I appreciate the feedback

So you're skipping the 5000 denomination altogether? It's a big jump from 1000 to 10000.

Nope, plaques for the 5k!

Then back to chips for 10k?

Yup, 43mm custom ceramic

Interesting. Never seen chips to plaque to chip progression before.

 

[dutch_whaley]

We’ll see how it goes

Fun idea. For what it’s worth, I generally preferred your original ideas, as the colors really do give it a very tropical vibe and pastel is not my strongest association with orcas. Also, the waves look a lot like mountains. Works, just liked your earlier combos much better.

I do not like the change to the open mouth orca. Total honesty: it looks very much like an image from the terrible late 70s movie “orca”, which was corny beyond belief. I would encourage you to go back to a more streamlined look.

Really like the blue whale 10k. Have you considered using other whales for the other values? Keeping the orca as your base 25 and then in all the periphery chips, but using different whales for the different demons? Also, unless you have a specific reason, I would suggest 25k for the value instead.

The idea of going from a round chip to a much bigger square plaque then to a slightly bigger round chip doesn’t appeal to my sense of chip graduation. Suggest using the 43mm for the 5k then going to the plaque for the 10k/25k.

Just my observations. Fun project! Good luck!

Your setup in post #54 looked awesome.

Also, if you have spare cut cards and want to swap them I’d love to have one.

I really appreciate the feedback @BNM!
A few thoughts:
I'm not old enough to remember the 1970's movie "orca" but that is unfortunate that it reminds you of a corny movie! I understand the streamlined look thought-process, I just played around with a few different whales, and this one had a whimsical feel to me. Also, the colors are based on the Royals chips, and it just happened to work out that they are a bit more pastel in nature. I also hear you with going from plaques back to chips, but I want to see how this looks, and I ordered one prototype. I may love it, or I may hate it, but I figured having a ceramic chip for a color up 10k would be a cool idea. I'll keep ya posted with which direction I go down, and I'll let you know about the cut cards as well!

I figured I would just mock a few of these up with the same whale from the 10k and see what people thought. I kinda like it to be honest.

Love these designs, but how about plaques for both 5k and 10k? Or larger chip 5k then plaque 10k? I think 5k and 10k plaques would be better if cost is not an issue

Yeah too late on the 5k plaques, not too late on the 10k chip, so I still have some time to figure some things out!

Didn't know you already paid up for them! Any extras for a sample? 10k plaques would be the way to go! Or skip the 10k and go for the 25k plaques if you have a big set
