Inlay Feedback Please! "The Neon River" Custom Set on Greek Mold (1 Viewer)

[EverGreenGSO]

Hello All!

First time designing my own chips and was wanting some feedback on the design.

You all think this would be clear and legible on a 24mm Label (43mm chip)

I like the Neon font for the Neon Theme but worry its too thin and won't be clear.

The first Logo is with the neon font, second with the bold one

Pass the sugar is completely lost, I dont like the gradient getting darker inward like that. Love the color and little logo though

Yep. I’m concerned about a) the thin font, b) the fade, and c) that black really eats up neighboring colors. If you send that to Tina, she’ll need to edit your design so it will print properly. I suggest you take another turn so it looks like you want it, rather than how a tech in China thinks you want it.

See my exchange with her earlier. It might have been about white, but it will hold true here as well.

Maybe I’ve seen it and it’s gone over my head? But as far as I know, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard “pass the sugar”
Is it a regional thing?

Really appreciate the constructive feedback!!!

Would changing to different inlay for each side of chip help? Your logo is circular, that on its own could be one side. The other side could then be the text and the denom. That gives more room to increase font size slightly?

It’s Joe Hachem’s catchphrase, and even the title of his book

I’m doing china chips so had to be same on both sides unfortunately

Thanks. I’ve probably heard him say that, but just assumed Australians are weirdos?

I've heard

Ship the candy to Andy
Send the sherbert to Herbert
Pass the doe to Joe

But never pass the sugar in reference to a pot

I recall it said once from TV poker coverage, but was well over ten years ago. Reason it stuck in my head was the awkward pause after it was said. Think it annoyed the other players, so perfect.

Also can you explain the neon river, whats it mean, is it a reference?

The purple is too dark on the black needs more contrast imo

he said it quite a few times during his WSOP and people would chant it at him in following years. Was also in the Xbox/Playstation game as one of his lil phrases back in the day.

The number, alone, should be centered. Add a smaller dollar sign to the side after.

I’m assuming you mean ceramics from Tina or equivalent - they can definitely be different on either side. If you look at a Tri-moon, when printed they have to print the mirror on the other side otherwise the spot colours wound not match up so many chips are have to have different prints to make them look right.

It’s what we call our pokerroom or just the game in general

In a diner once sitting next to a blonde woman, I said "pass the stupid, sugar".
Not a bad design, definitely works better on white background with the bolder text. I agree with above that the $ should be smaller.
Good Luck with your new set!

The $1s pass-the-sugar font is still really annoying to me and I think it would be worse on a small chip inlay. Up to you, do what makes you happy but If I'm going to put words on the chip I want them to be easily discerned. I love the purple and blue gradients but not on something that I'm trying to read.

Thanks for reminding me I switched it and didnt use that logo lol

I'm so glad someone remembers lol

New Update:

 

[Darson]

I would lose the exclamation mark. At chip scale it just looks like sugari

 

[Taghkanic]

Is it just some optical illusion, or is the type on a curve narrower side-to-side than it is top-to-bottom?

It looks to me like it has more of an ovoid than a circular shape. So the white spaces to the left and right are slightly wider than the white spaces at the top and bottom.

Or maybe this is on purpose. Just mentioning it because typically type like that follows the curve of the inlay edge with a consistent indent all around.

 

[CallingStation614]

Thought I was the only one. Looks definitely eggy to me

How about this:

NEON RIVER and PASS THE SUGAR as a complete circle on the rim (you can keep the black background if you use a thicker font and outline in white).

Your circular riverbed graphic as large as possible within the text and centered.

Your numerical denom in a oval cut out from the above graphic, below center as you have it.
