Vendor Sale Made-to-order Custom Table Toppers (16 Viewers)

[Chris Manzoni]

Because in a self dealt game, not every player can reach the designated location. It also detracts from a good design.

Also for many of us a much more important reason is that we don’t just play flop games!

Another question -- why don't most of these table tops have a designated location for the flop/turn/river to be dealt?

I ordered toppers because of the spots for flip, turn, river. That shit tilts me.

Because a) I never liked it and b) it’s useless when playing a host of other games that don’t follow the pattern

this - adds literally nothing to the game/table

Have you made one for the Pit Boss folding gaming table? I love the Austin Poker Club design in red. Not sure if you have it in orange too (Texas Longhorns color)?

Love these! I went on the Google Photos link to look. Is there another link that I'm missing? Thanks for posting these!

Because you can order those off of Amazon for about $25. And they are super cheesy.

Also, I just went through all 53 pages of this thread. Very nice work @aaron2786. I see a lot of Vegas Casino designs. Has anyone asked about El Cortez Hotel?

We are now fully branded with the topper, cut cards and dealer button here in NYC!

My 2 cents…: I would perhaps try to make the pattern smaller. Or not. Hard to say, I would print a dozen different sizes on A3 papers to judge and find what feels right 1:1 with chips and cards on it.

As someone with a little background in bagpipes and kiltmaking... I can't stand a small tartan pattern - drives me nuts. But between this and the other comment, I do plan to mute it a bit so that it doesn't take away, as that point is very valid.

I like the overlay idea. I would try to make it a "richer" gray, with blue/green in it.
Perhaps you could try to color the betting line? Orange?

It is very subjective, but I am not a fan in general of repeating the logo on both side. I would rather have one centered. I like the tone-on-tone "not in your face" logo.

If I may, I think your logo needs a bit of work.
The baseline could be smaller, and spaced a bit. I would let the wordmark breath more.
I am not sure if a "gothic" font has the right feel… I would perhaps try something definitely classic, but with a bit more appropriate personality, a bit more "body".Perhaps on a slight curve? With a fine line and a small symbol between the wordmark and the baseline?

Sorry if it too much at once, I am thinking out loud…

The rest of this is all good feedback. I suck at logos and, as the bar is still a work in progress overall, haven't done much in that regard for it. Definitely taking all this to mind and will post another picture in a few days. Appreciate it.

1. I think the tartan idea is a bit much at full force. Just a lot going on. I really like the muted approach in the center- that would make for a great racetrack area. It reinforces McEwan’s, but doesn’t make McEwan’s all about the tartan identify- it IS a pub and poker room, after all. You could then incorporate the blues and greens differently… say betting line one color, name another?

2. I‘ll take a different spin on @binoclard‘s name observation. If you’re going stick with the full name, I would echo once in the center. If you want to do it twice, then stick with something smaller… McEwan’s perhaps, something like the simplicity of @JeepologyOffroad’s Moonlight cloth.

There are a ton of different approaches on the name, often time it can be overwhelming, but it’s hard to go wrong there. I think the real area to focus on is the tartan, because the mat shouldn’t be the focus of the game, poker is. The mat’s just a supporting character that you want to look cool as people sit down, but then fades into the background as people play.

Fantastic advice. As noted above, I'll suss out some other stuff. I don't want to go full muted with the tartan, but you've led me to play with muting it significantly while still retaining some of the color in the tartan itself - but moving a couple colors to the betting line and name are great ideas - thank you.

No tartan for me. I was one and done lol

haha I'm gathering you drew the other pattern? I have to hat tip @binoclard here - the Tartanify link really sealed the deal for me working this one out. It's as easy as finding the tartan, exporting to png (SVG makes the twill lines look wrong if you rotate it), then import, resize, and tile. Super easy in the end for the tartan part at least.

Where's the fun in that

I'm a little late, but to celebrate 50 pages in this thread, I wanted to take a moment to scrape and post all of my PCF customer photos to date. Huge thank you to everyone who's come along with me on this journey. I never thought I would have as much fun as I have had getting to know everyone, and building such cool products for the forum.

Special shoutout and thanks again to @aaron2786 who has helped design some truly kick ass toppers for folks.

Here's to 50 more pages!

Hey man, I'm just glad to come for the ride!

 

[NeutronHim]

This is the best vendor sale thread ever. Please never shut this down. I think I'll be needing a topper in like 2 months and will be sad if this goes down by then

 

[coachpod]

I'll get measurements this weekend. What are the steps to order? If something is already designed, but I want a few tweaks, do I need to mock that up somewhere?

Very cool, what are the dimensions of the Barrington jr?

 

[rjdev7]

Typically barringtons are 73.5” x 31.5” although they can vary by up to an inch due to quality control inconsistencies.

 

[ngmcs8203]

So I just rolled it out to practice my pitching. I feel like I’m barely flicking the cards and they slide like an air hockey table. Wild how quickly they slide across. Gotta dial in a bit more.

 

[eightyWon]

Thanks @rjdev7 - very happy with how this transforms the look and feel of the table:

I really love the understated classy look of this version!

 

[tesberto]

I received my felt last week and I´m really happy!
It also arrived in record time (less than 3 weeks after the order): Ryan is great and all went very smoothly

I will post photos as soon as I will play

 

[Preditor]

@rjdev7 I have connection to a warehouse-discount on one of these tables and like the "wood" edge design a lot... except for the horrible design of the felt.

Am I wrong to assume your felts wouldn't really work on a center like this?

[KarateMaster72]

The duck has landed! Very very nice! Thank you so much! @rjdev7 . It is a tad short in some areas which is no problem. I actually think it needs to flatten out a little bit because you can push it and stretch it and it'll stay for a second. Worst case scenario. I will carefully stretch and glue an area at a time. Then when I change setups I can just put the new one on top of that one anyway

They can work like this. I can do toppers in any size and shape up to the thresholds listed in my original post of this thread.

 

[thebwit]

I just found out about this website and that table toppers are a thing for my barrington tables. I'm going to have to figure out a design of some sort for my home game. These look amazing.

Hey man, I'm just glad to come for the ride!

Hey how much and what info do you need for a design? Name of my league is Basement Poker Club. I'd love to incorporate some sort of Bourbon bottles as my chips all have different bourbon brands on them. Appreciate any/all help.
