P5Woody has updated again. I like the Pink frac with the Yellow $20. I think all of the colors pop together this way.



Removing the bottles is interesting. I am going to ponder that. I like the same image on all chips. Now if later I added a Commemorative chip that would be a new image

Looks hot. Just be aware that pink is tricky to be printed. Often has a redish touch which makes it sometimes hard to distinguish from red especially as you don't use edgespots to give it more 'contrast'. Maybe others can give hints on color codes...
(See my pink in my tourney set, not sure if a pure red works together with that...)

Thanks MrWitti. I am going to get prototypes of them before pulling the trigger. Get to see the final product and make any last minute changes. I think it is money well spent.

 

[p5woody]

Just for the fun of it I mocked up a green and brown 25¢ chip.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

I can see the green and brown chips being mistaken for reds. Still like the pink for the 25c.

IF you mistake a green chip for a red chip, I officially diagnose you with color blindness.

I found out I couldn't distinguish some shades of red and green in high school when I couldn't pass a red/green colour blindness test. Fire engine red and forest green aren't an issue, but some subtle shades are (most purples look blue to me). That said, it's more common than I thought. There are a few people in our home game with this issue, and one person who is completely colour blind.

 

[Forest@Farmington]

CDN i have a person in my home group that also has similar color issues as you. Blue / Green are the toughest for him. I am liking the pink and going to talk to the vendors on the printing as I don't want it to look redish as stated earlier.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

I have a Royal Yak cash set, and the colours work well. They are similar to yours. Check the Palm Gaming forum for a picture of the colours they use.

I also think they would look better without the bottles.

with and without the bottles

There used to be a great web tool that adjusted the color of a picture so a "normal visioned" person could see what a color blind person could see. I found it handy for chip designing. Since it's been down, I have decided to go with large denoms, and unique edge spot patterns. According to statistics, the number of males with some form of color blindness is around 10%, so I'm actually pretty aware of the problem and the idea that in a game with 20-30 players, 2 or 3 guys are struggling a little more with the chips. And most of the time they will be too proud to let others know of their problems.

No bottles rule

 

[stocky]

No bottles look great. So much cleaner.

 

[Trihonda]

Bright orange frac? Otherwise pink ain't bad.

if op wants to stick with yellow frac, then maybe do a black $20?

 

[p5woody]

I found a website that simulates color blindness - http://www.etre.com/tools/colourblindsimulator/

I think the pink works for all but the .003% that have tritanopia color blindness.

Fascinating tool, thanks for sharing!

 

[RowdyRawhide]

I agree with the barrels only and I would normally go for the black center but I think I am leaning towards the white here for some reason

 

[Mental Nomad]

The barrels look great by themselves... but I'd consider using a different image with just bottles for the fracs...

 

[links_slayer]

It's pretty remarkable how far these have come from the original versions in the OP

 

[p5woody]

I think he is planning on doing side A in white, side B in black

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Thank you everyone for the comments. Links you are 100% correct and I am so glad I asked for a professional. Big Huge thanks to p5woody.

I am doing an A and B side. Will have both black and white. Think that will look awesome in a splashed pot.

Without the bottles does look much cleaner. Will go that route.

CDNbeer I have the royal yaks and the colors are good. I like the bright colors and not sure about an orange franc as might conflict with the Red.

Mental Nomad not sure if another image of bottles only for the frac would work. Would it add much to the set?

Thanks again p5woody I appreciate all of the work. The site for the color blindness is very interesting.

 

[courage]

Love the white and black, and love the clean look with just barrels but I'd move them to the left a bit now to center them and fit the text.

The yellow will be awesome. I'd stick with your pink frac or consider a yellow frac and use a green $25 in this case.

Nice job!

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Thanks courage. Will stay pink frac. I don't want a $25 and will stay with the $20.

D'oh! You mentioned that in the OP. My bad...

Hmmm...as for orange and red, you can get a feel for the difference in this picture.

If you want a splash pot pic of the $5 (red) and $1000 (orange) Yak chips, or any other combination, let me know. I have to say that the colours used for these chips is great. The small denom is my only real complaint.

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Someone mentioned pink was tough to print. That orange does look nice. Thinking now

 

[CdnBeerLover]

I suspect that depends on the vendor. Who are you going with? If PGI, tell them to use the same colours as on the Yak chips. Or perhaps send them a chip from your current set to use as guide.

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Looking at gocc or cpc. Sending emails to both about pink today

 

[CdnBeerLover]

I did a few splash pot pics anyways...

Red / Pink


Red / Grey


Red / Orange



For me, Pink > Grey > Orange

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Thanks. I agree that pink wins with those pics

 

[CdnBeerLover]

Based on the rotating banner on GOCC's website, they can do that pink. Check the image with "The Next Level In Gaming Chips" written on it...it has a $2.50 chip in that colour.
