Idea: 007 villain companies set (1 Viewer)

[Pinesol13]

I was cleaning out my spare bedroom today and came across a 007 coaster set I got as a gift a few years ago that I had forgotten about.

It got me thinking about the other businesses that Bond villains have had in the movies, and how I love the company logos that were designed for them.

I'm thinking it might be cool to do a set where each denom uses one logo. I might stay away from the Brosnan era logos, as they are a little too modern to go with the others. Or maybe do a tournament set with the Connery/Moore ones, and a cash set with the Brosnan ones..?

Tournament
Zion Industries - T25
Stromberg Shipping - T100
Drax Industries - T500
Auric Enterprises - T1000
Whyte Industries - T5000

Cash
Carver Media Group - 25c
Graves Corporation - $1
King Industries - $5

Not sure what to do with Osato Chemical & Engineering

Maybe a Spectre bounty button and Universal Exports dealer button

Just an idea I'm kicking around and wanted to share!

I always thought Spectre would be an awesome idea for a set

a quick mockup

I might use the Osata logo as a T5, in which case I'd want to change the T100 chip to white and make the Drax T500 to a deep blue, which I like because it ties in more to the space theme of the movie.

 

[Pinesol13]

Another idea I had was to do different inlays on each side of the chip. One with just the simple logo, and the other with more detail and the denomination

 

[Pinesol13]

These are just rough mockups, but I'm digging the two different inlay idea.

I think you meant 'Zorin Industries'.

Don't forget about A.R.A.C.H.N.I.D. !!!

Now that the tourney set designs are (almost) done, I've been thinking about a cash set. I want to switch it up to iconic villain locations, instead of their businesses.

I'm thinking Piz Gloria from On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Also the Disco Volante yacht from Thunderball. Maybe Auric Goldfinger stud farm in Kentucky. Was also considering Fillet Of Soul from Live and Let Die.

Any other ideas?

If these become an actual set then count me in!

 

[Pinesol13]

Considering changing the 5000 from Whyte Enterprises to The Whyte House. Also, I don't know how I missed on making this chip WHITE

It's not a spider, it's an octopus.

I truly live amongst the unwashed heathen. (Heh!)

I’m an idiot lol

I'm working on finishing this design in the next two weeks, I'm going to be ordering a set in an upcoming group buy. If anyone is interested I'm happy to share the artwork

 

[BlueChipSpecial]

Love this idea! If you end up doing a group buy, I would definitely take part.

This would make a great bounty…

Thought about that, also making a "Universal Exports" dealer button. But I think I want to keep this strictly villain focused.

I have thought about adding Pussy Galores Flying Circus, or Flight School. Found this online as inspiration

But, I already have Goldfinger represented.

Maybe a dealer button with Blofelds cat...?

 

[BonScot]

That’s good as well. I’d stick to Connery’s films and not the imposters but then again I’m biased

How about the whole ship on one side, and the ship & shell separated on the other side?

 

[Pinesol13]

Playing around with more ideas. Not quite there yet. I was originally thinking of a blue quarter Disco Volante, and white $1 Piz gloria, and leave the Quarrel as a non-denom, most likely use it as a 5c or 10c.

But now I'm wondering if I should make the Quarrel chip the quarter, Disco Volante blue $1, and change Piz Gloria to a red chip $5......

Why Panama? Emilio Largo's estate of Palmyra, and hence the dock of the Disco Volante, was in the Bahamas.

I don't know if it's ever specifically mentioned in the film why the boat is registered in Panama, but I was just going off these screenshots

Love the amount of detailed background research you've put into these, @Pinesol13!
