Inlay design feedback (2 Viewers)

I think you should nail down your base first, I love the Inlay on blue with the tri moon as you've had it.

I like this base .25/1/5/20/100

Which of the solids is a better colour and which pattern on the yellow is better?
Or any other suggestions? .25/1/5/20/100

Make sure you get a colour sample set. The colours on the screen do not represent reality - they’re a good indication but nothing beats seeing them in the flesh. For example my favourite CPC colour is blurple and you’d never know it on screen.

I think the next question is how vintage you want the entire set to be.

Going full vintage opens base color choices, but limit color and spot options, for example.

3916, 312, x14, 3TRIM, xS18, 3V12, 1/2 and 1/4 PIE are great vintage spot options, although not all spots were available on every mold pattern.

Vintage inspired, of course, opens a number of doors.

Morning all.

Thanks for that reply @warma, I was in the middle of replying to @Machine last night trying to put some of those questions across but then something important came up.. poker night!!

Even though I'm nursing a $50 loss those questions still remain!

I do really, really like the blue trimoon mock up we came up with in previous posts but like I said shortly after when I mocked up the rest of the set with multiple colours it all looked too busy. I think in isolation it looks great but detracts from the inlay when the spot patterns/colours are too busy across the set. Same goes for the spot pattern used in the yellow $20 above.

I can see a place for it if I used it as the $5 had two tone 3TRIM either side for $1 & $20, solid frac and my 1/2pie $100. Thoughts?

I've tried NOT to mock up chips using the dayglo colours as I'd imagine (tried researching) that when older Casinos using inlays like that wouldn't have had access to those colours?

I came across a set the other day 'Kings Inn' that somebody made .25¢ & $1 for, really liked the simple look of that and the inlay colours were the same as what I've used.

Also an article linked somewhere here by David Sprag? On Borland chips? It's where I got the 1/2pie $100 from.

I'm really happy with how the inlay is/will be, it has that feel I was going for so want the surrounding chip to enhance that feeling more whether that's full vintage or inspired!

Sorry for the long post.

K9dr has that $1 on his SQM 20? set I think, it looks wonderful and is a great chip. He also has a black and white 1/2, it works awesome with his theme! its good but I don't prefer it over 1/4.
Tri moon is an older insert, and I would encourage you to use it, especially on the 1 with non bright / dayglow colors!

I would also encourage you to not use a solid outside of a frac (I would caution using white for any chip other than a 1 or 100 in a cash set) It sounds as if you've progressed into what you want a significant amount!

I would vote for a Cali set, but you do you! a Vegas set can work with blue or charcoal /black chip.
I like the 1/4 better

Waiting on some new art supplies to do a final copy of the inlay but while I wait I've been having another go in the designer -

Again I like both the same coloured spots and the tri coloured ones. Is there ever a world where you can have a mix?

Yes, but no.

What is not common is having a different label on the same chip, to the degree of about 10% of the chips, this gives a 'limited' feel to a label.

What is rare is people without CDO (aka OCD), that have the same chip and insert colors, but have a different insert pattern.

The only time I've seen same base color and insert pattern with different insert colors is on hodge podge sets. Where the set owner doesn't really care about it and gets what they can find. Not to be confused with the heavily procured 'Rat Rod' set

What is crazy rare, is the 'Rat Rod' set, a few of the same chips, but mostly all different chips of a similar base (all same mold I think), you can search this forum for it, its really cool.

These chips are about your vision, you do you!

But if you were asking, I prefer the second set.
