Have logo, seeks direction - The Train Rush podcast - 18xx bank chips (1 Viewer)

[LupoLoopy]

Hi - new user here so I beg ye be gentle.

We have a logo for our 18xx Train Game podcast which I'd like to integrate into a poker chip inlay design, for a potential CPC order.

I have the vector art files for it (somewhere) so playing with it to make it work better for a poker chip is eminently doable. However, I've got no idea which direction to take the design. I want to go with a denominated set and there's a LOT going on with the logo, some of which is core to the identity.

Any services I could consider to get mock-up? Any thoughts as to things/directions I could try, conceptually?

(not trying to plug the show by the way folks - it's just context as to why/what these chips are)

Thanks for your help - I really appreciate it.

I’d keep the train and drop the rest IMO (including the shadow stuff probably)

Thank you Amish! Glad we've (hopefully) entertained you in some small capacity.

Back on topic, so I don't get banned

Would you keep any of the typography? I'd definitely drop the tagline, as it will be too small. (Instinctively) feels like I should have The Train Rush on their explicitly.

You could keep the train rush text along the top or bottomed and have it follow the circle of the inlay. It would probably mean a smaller train but it would still leave room for the denominations.

Train example. Not a lot of room to work with but doable.

If you want to be able to incorporate the entire logo, I’d consider ceramic chips from @ABC Gifts and Awards

Agreed; lots of room on a ceramic chip

I'd go double inlay. Keep the train and some of the other stuff with a curved textual denomination and name on the front.
On the back bigger curved name and large centered denom.
