Milano Bounty Chip Group Buy (5 Viewers)

[ekricket]

I'd want two dealers and 20 bounties if that's still possible.

Yes, first post! Trying to break out of dice chip hell, figure at some point we'll get done Milano's, so thought I'd do a little planning ahead.

Thanks!

I think dealers are closed and maybe buttons are open. Check with Brains.

Steve I think that looks great! Anyway to render the image from the side so we can see the whole chip with edge? Thanks buddy.

I know 39mm are cheaper. And for the Milanos, I'd rather have either 39 or 46. The 43 is so similar to the 39, meh (not worth the hassle IMHO), that I'd rather have it bigger or the same. My preference would be the 46, because they're boss!!! However, for this being a traveling set for me, the 39's make more sense (and they're a lot cheaper). However, it makes no sense to have Steve do up two different artworks. I'll just do what the group decides, if that's 46, 43, 39, I'm game for 41 of them.

As for edge. These could potentially be in people's stacks, I'd think they need to be bold and distinctive to stand out as the BOUNTY. Gold is cool, and Milano or Bounty (in a different colored edge spot) text on the rolling edge is a plus. It needs to stand out. That gold chip, with gold rolling edge, with 3 black spots (with "Bounty" written in gold in the spots) would be the nutz!

Tri weigh in here. You seem to have an eye for design. I feel like more of the edge should be gold no? But Steve, I really like it. Nicely done!

Looks pretty good, but maybe there's some improvement possible on the edge? The gold rectangle seems a little basic. Would round ends work (poker table shape)?

Correct.

I think a gold edge with black edge spots may look better, but I want to hear what Tri has to say. @Aaron ?

since I am using a gold gradient, the colors won't match up if i make the entire rolling edge gold. I can make them bigger.

Ah good point. Seems like you need that black line/edge to break the gradient. I have zero eye for design. You guys are the pros!

Don't try to wrap the gradient... trust me.

What if you extend the rectangular gold boxes horizontally?

I like it! Can you please post that side 3d image.

I think it looks great. I will let the others chime in. Thanks Steve!

 

[mummel]

BTW - the width of the U in bounty next to the O looks pretty compressed. Is that so it can be centered?

 

[p5woody]

One more update with rounded corners

I will balance everything in the final design, these are quick mockups. Illustrator doesn't handle 3d images the best so will base it on the flat image.

I'm a fan of rounded corners but at this point I'm cool with whichever everyone likes. I'll be a few days to get payment sent as I had to email PayPal today about some issues. My account isn't getting used until we iron some things out. If this is an issue I can withdrawal. I don't want to hold anyone up. Let me know.

No rush. We are finalizing the design anyway and this is a separate GB.

 

[Trihonda]

I like all the designs, sq or rounded corners. Looks sharp

 

[mummel]

Still waiting on feedback from @Trihonda . What if the edge was gold all around just with black bounty text, and no black edge spot?

 

[mummel]

LOL the timing.

 

[mummel]

@p5woody , could you please make the edge all gold with no black edge spot (just black bounty text), and then I'll put all three designs next to each other and we can vote. Im up for either, whatever works. Thanks guys.

 

[brains613]

Might I suggest starting a new thread after the design gets finalized? Surely there are people not following this thread. You might get more orders. I can do it if you want.

In can be done, I will need to play around with the gradient so where the two ends come together the colors match. I can work on that tonight.

@Tommy, I tried to rename this thread to "Milano Bounty Chip Group Buy" but the thread tools drop down has disappeared. Can you please take a look? Thanks.

 

[mummel]

@Tommy thanks. You can also delete the poll if you want.

Just my 2 cents. This latest all yellow version looks like ass, lol. Steve knocked it out of the park with his previous version or two. Tweaking rounded corners, square corners, etc... Both look great.

Not a big deal, but I'd suggest keeping it simple. Remember, this won't be big like a dealer button. The Milanos are simple and clean (which is the appeal). Let's keep these bounties similar. They have to be descernable from other chips (from the side and top). The black/gold design stands out IMHO.

Remember, Steve isn't getting much compensation here, so lets consider the amount of changes we ask of him.

Fully agree. Then lets vote. I vote the rectangle text edge, but will do either.

@mummel = rectangular
@Trihonda = rounded
