Since we don't really know what either one will look like why not consider Justin's ngm. Are the lines on that mold too shallow, just right or too deep?

I think they are pretty close to just right, but maybe there is an overwhelming majority that think otherwise.

Adjust accordingly

I was speaking of the width of the lines, not the depth...but thats something to consider as well!
 
What is the distance between the edge of the chip and that outer concentric circle? Is that the same or similar to that same distance in the THC?

Seems to me THC got it right as everyone loves it

Having the Greeks in my hand, I think those are a little too shallow.

It's based off web mold

The issue with going too deep is you get a color shift and it can get blurry. No so much a problem with thin lines, but should be considered.

Agreed. What is pictured on the riverboat chips above is good, looks like a better ratio than the Greek chips imo.
 
Thin would be the preference I’m sure. I have 43mm Greek Key chips and any deeper I would be worried about dark colors not getting all the way down in the crease.

I think thicker, or possibly closer. If you look at the real web molds the points where the “diamonds” touch each other, you don’t really get distinct points (at least based on the pictures of the chips).

From the first picture of the most recent mockups, they barely don't touch:

From the second picture of the most recent mockup, they touch but "just the tip":

From my previous mockup, the lines don't look like they're just touching at the corners of the distinct "diamond" shapes, but rather that they are continuous lines of the same width that happen to change directions at the intersections, if that makes sense:

I feel like that's the same on the actual chips, again from what I can tell based on pictures:

It doesn't look like the shapes are separate and just touching but rather are actually continuous and connected with each other, like a ... web?

There may be some slight narrowing (or more likely beveling) as the lines get closer to intersecting:

But not as much as in the two mockups posted earlier.

They do touch in the vector. Just a little more in the thicker lined one.
And the discussion should also include, are we going for an exact duplicate?

I'm probably not explaining it well enough. In the original web mold, I don't see the lines narrowing (close) to a point as they intersect. The lines are all consistent width. I tried to do that in my previous mockup, so that the lines didn't close in but rather just changed directions at intersections:

They kind of look like roads, now that I think about it.

Even if the "streets" don't line up perfectly, and are offset from each other, the "roads" themselves do not narrow:

So I much prefer the thicker lines, since it makes the entire mold look contiguous, like how they meet the inner and outer concentric circles even in the narrower-line mockup:

It's personal preference, but I just like the shapes to overlap slightly, so they look like they share lines and not just separate shapes touching. Not specifically advocating for an exact match of the mold.

Okay you're helping me raise this BABY NOW!

I took a calipers and measured carefully. Although I was not the one making the artwork I think I am very close. I took this pic for another thread so disregard the river rat chip in the pic. For the new greek mold:
I believe that the distance from the edge of the chip to that outer concentric circle is 1mm
I believe that the thickness of that outer concentric circle is .5mm
and I believe that the thickness of the inner pattern (the greek part) the thickness of the lines are .35mm
