Hi all. Been floating around with different ideas as I'm coming up in the gear queue in March. These will be over labels for RHC chips for a 25/25 or potential 25/50 and or 50/1 game down the line.
Long story short: Me and my wife just recently got to rent a house across the street from her parents while we save to try to buy. The last tenants were here for 10 years and we got a great deal because we told the owners to hold off on renovating the whole house and just fixing minor things (we aren't that picky). It's been great having 3 bedrooms vs a 1 bedroom apartment for pretty much the same price! CA is crazy right now for rent as most of you know but I digress.
l just recently got back into poker after playing years ago with my dad. I got the bug hard again. I started organizing poker nights at the house now that we have the space to have company. Everyone loved it! I wanted to make a set/label to celebrate and remember:
1.) Renting this house and celebrating how far me and my wife have come (we lived in a 550 sqft apartment at one point)
2.) Getting a poker night started and having a chip to call ours at our home game
Now, if you haven't guessed it by now, we live not to far from a street named 'Baseline'. Our city is about 35 minutes east of LA and our city has a bunch of mountain ranges towering over us. A few famous mountain trails to hike including Mt. Baldy & Cucamonga Peak. I wanted to include some sort of mountains into the theme of the chip.
So here we have my first iteration of the Baseline Poker Room chip:
Will throw these on the Paulson design tool tomorrow after work. Thanks @Marius L for the heads up, new here didn't know that existed.
Few notes:
- Worried that the current image at the top may be too dark and not show as well on labels. May have to switch for something a bit brighter in color?
- 50c chip will be a note for discussion lol. Used to play at a friends home game and he had 50c chips and got used to it. Also want to future proof myself if we go up to .50/1 and would be convenient to have a .5 chip as well as up the bankroll a bit. I have the chips for it and no way anyone at my game will need a $25 chip.
- the '0' in the 50 is different. The font used for the numbers, I did not like the 0 at all and tried to use a different one. Not sure if it stands out at all, but since I know it's not the same it bugs me. Let me know if you noticed at all.
- Not sure I love the font. I do like the Baseline font, but maybe not the poker room font. Not sure I love the 'poker room' eitheir. May take out room and keep it Baseline Poker. I do like how the words fill up the space under baseline though.
Sorry for the novel haha, and look forward to hearing any feedback.
