Yeah, that's it. It really is all in the dimples. Most won't notice - just like edge spots - but to some that ALL they see.

Wanted Dealer button that looks like a golf ball (3 Viewers)

I realize I sorta started this when I was critical of the original design, which had 1960s style dimples. But hopefully I'm just missing the joke and you guys are only kidding around. If not, I suggest you either come up with a better design yourself, or pay one of our many professional designers here on PCF to put together a button that meets your standards. For me, and for probably 95% of us here, what @Colquhoun has put together is totally awesome, and more than I expected after seeing the first iteration.
I'm thrilled, and definitely in for 5-10 of the current design.
Since we are on a new page, can you post this one and the previous one together? I will say with this version of "dealer on the ridges" it does look more like dimples. But I still think I liked the other one better. If the button was thick enough to get two full rows of dimples, I'd be ok with "dealer on the ridges." But since it's not, and the dimples need to be roughly the same size as the ones on the face, I still am not sure this one looks good.
I had to make a new versions of the dimpled edges, using the new ball.
Here is the 2 edges...I didn't think there was enough detail and contrast in the dimpled version for it to look good.
Thoughts?
Sorry, I misunderstood your post. I thought you said that you changed the face of the button too... Nevermind!
Yes , it's a new ball image, with the older text on top. I also had to make new rolling edge using that ball image as well.
Seeing both side by side, I would vote for the second option (dealer on the ridge).
I’m in regardless of which one is used though. They all look great!
OK, this is it!
After a few more tweaks with @QuadNines, (adding the loop in the "D" and some alignment issues), this one is done.

Yep, love it! I don't think anyone was here to criticize, only help with useful commentary, but action works too. It's cool to help contribute to a killer design. Big thanks to @Colquhoun for the effort and sorting through it all. The new "D" adds a lot too.

Not complaining at all, I'm thrilled with the designs. I just had never paid any attention to differences in golf balls and thought it was interesting that there are actually completely different dimple patterns. As i said, a rabbit hole i didn't even expect to exist. (And there is some similarity to poker chips... I'm sure there are people that instantly notice different dimple patterns while to most of us it's just a golf ball. Kind of like to most people at first the difference between a RHC and THC is miniscule...)

Is there a way to have the shading on the edge align with the shading on the edge of the face? That’s going to be the weakness once these are printed, that transition is going to look rough
Impossible. They don’t do aligned edges on dealer buttons

As long as @Colquhoun has no objections and is willing to supply his artwork, I am going to take the plunge and say that I am willing to run a GB for these amazing Golf ball and baseball DBs. Sounds like there is enough interest in this thread alone. Once I hear back from @Colquhoun, I will start a separate GB thread.
Sounds good! Both are ready.
Finally found an appropriate reason to the term "Amazeballs"!
In for two, these are fantastic
I started on a basketball, but will require some more work. I could likely do the others as well, but will take time
I’ll start a new thread about which dimple pattern we should use. Should be fun.
