Denny made this one the smallest plaque size that was possible. I am honestly thinking upsizing to size RB012 which is roughly the same size as the plaques sold by ABC.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Size 12 + denominations cleaned up. I like it..

 

[pltrgyst]

I'm probably an outlier, but I have to say that I don't like edge spots on plaques, period.

Plaques are much more exotic and impactful than chipsand IMO spots don't help in that regard. They're an element of chips, which cheapens them for use on plaques.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Here's what one would look like without edge spots. Not gonna lie, it's very simple but effective.

Also I am going to ask to see the $12's with the denomination in orchid since we didn't use it for the 5's, keeping everything else as is.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Okay, everyone. The orchid 500's are IN and ready to ship to the people who have asked for them.

I have 225 of these chips:

-25 goes to the girls at the Tilted Kilt
-100 goes to @Ben8257 (25 of them will be a gift to Brie)
-61 goes to @sheikh617 who wants the secondaries as an alternate for his primaries

That's 186 which leaves me with 39. I will keep one roll (-25) for myself.

14 chips will be given out to people who want samples or those who have been there with me through it all.

The 12 is actually an effective chip and the clock does make it stand out. I think we should reverse the denomination and the diamond colors, what do you all think? (i.e. the $12 should be the orchid color and the diamond should be the darker purple?)

reverse the colours

 

[SteveHNo96]

Alright, feedback from Dave:

1. The nickel should be 3 spots and 3 denominations around the chip. -- this would solve the pink vs. red issue that some people have talked about.

2. He was suggesting making the hundo a little more like the Maximillian casino 100, with a square or two rectangles between the dollar amounts to make it look closer to the size of the edgespots.

3. The moon progression is now out of sync. This should totally be fixed before we proceed. The label for the nickel and the $5 should be fixed.

4. The $25 and the $12 have the same edgespot design. He was thinking doing an alternating pattern (5/3/5/3/5/3) for the $12 chip.

5. The denomination and the diamond colors should be reversed on the $12 chip. (orchid $12, and berry diamonds)

I'm still waiting on feedback on the plaques but honestly the simplicity of them kinda appeal to me. I'd like to see what the $20's and $1000s look like doing that.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Some suggestions have been updated.

That's pretty sweet to me!

 

[Ben8257]

I like the Idea of the $12 being Orchid also, brighten that top end up a bit! The $25 and hundo are both dark and that is cool (especially as I plan to use the $20 plaques anyways! Lol)

I love weird or specialty denoms, love the $12 chip and the clock! Set is coming together very nicely indeed!

 

[SteveHNo96]

Here's my thoughts on this round.

1. Change the edgespots on the nickel so that the two lines are over the amount rather than the spots.

2. This is an interesting recommendation -- the $25 chip's spot should be a triangle that faces up towards the spots. That might work better with the dollar since in that case the triangles would point towards the edgespots.

disagree with 1. I would consider making a 3rd pink strip in the spot to liven the chip up a bit. too much white at the moment. maybe use three dots as the pattern instead of the oval?

agree with 2, however you should have 3 triangles and 3 denom alligned with the spots like the 5c chip. the $5 chips and $12 should follow this "formula" also.

 

[Pinball]

Love the $1

Will there be sample sets?

 

[SteveHNo96]

Your suggestions....

I heard a suggestion to have the $12 with two edgespots in 12 different places. I don't even know if that's possible but that would make the chip look 100% like a clock.

 

[SteveHNo96]

I found out the 12 spots are impractical because of the nature of a clock. You might see that a 6 is upside down when it goes around

 

[SteveHNo96]

I'll take feedback for 3 days but it is looking sharp and someone literally just told me he would order up to 25 of the dollar chips.

Got a pic?

Also with the progression of the moon there seems to be a huge jump from 25c to $1.

The jump on 5c to 25c and the $5 to $25 are "gentler".

Not sure if that the intention or if you wanted a smoother progression through the chip.

 

[SteveHNo96]

The one with the dark spot leading is the front and the one with the light spot leading is the back.

 

[Chipnut]

Looks great! I still think the pink $5 would go better than the generic red.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Okay. One suggestion was to go back to 4 denominations on the 12, have three edgespots at 3, 6, 9 and 12 and have one edgespot for the rest of the numbers.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Hrm.... this could actually work. Thoughts on it?

Looks great. Any chance of seeing a variation of the denom and shape swapped position?

 

[SteveHNo96]

[SteveHNo96]

Actually, I really like the contrast on this one. What does everyone think?

 

[SteveHNo96]

The latest on the orchids:

I have received payment from @sheikh617, as soon as I go to the post office (which I can do this weekend) I will send his chips out.

I haven't heard from Ben at this time regarding the orchid 500's.

I also have 50 chips that are going to @Beakertwang and he also has paid.

Put it to a lineup vote

 

[SteveHNo96]

Put it to a lineup vote

While we're at it, the triangles on the $25 could be a tad bigger pointing towards the yellow and blue edgespots. I also would like to see the $20, $500 and $1000 plaques with the simplistic design like in post 65.
