Palo Verde Lounge MD-50s (1 Viewer)

Here's an updated version of the cash set:

And the tournament set:

EDIT: Changed my mind again, but I think I'm liking this a whole lot better.

 

[Psypher1000]

I like the look of the old quarter better, but 1/8 to 1/4 progression does make sense, as does "quartering" the chip instead of breaking it into thirds. Love the new $20!

For the tournament set, I think that $1k is the nuts and definitely prefer the new $500 over the old.

One thought, and it may be for naught - the name of the set/club is The Palo Verde Lounge. What about making the palo verde $25 really sparkle? It obviously would be a little out of place from a spot progression standpoint, but the color is also the embodiment of your club. Anywho, just a thought. It works as is.

What did you have in mind for the T25?

What did you have in mind for the T25?

Glitter? IDK...hadn't given it much thought beyond a very general concept of "make your light green chip kick as much ass as possible." Lemme play around a bit.

 

[Psypher1000]

Here's my thoughts so far.

Keeping yellow, since that's the color of the palo verde flower. The flower itself is a brighter yellow, but kept the dayglo in keeping with the pale theme. Selected imperial blue for the compliment since I imagine light green is what you'd get if you mixed the spot colors. My two fav's of the bunch are in positions 1 and 2.

Anywho, just ideas. Like them or hate them; incorporate or reject...it's your set, so its FAR more important that you like them than that I do.

Does anyone happen to know what levels the 618 and the 414418 spots are?

 

[Psypher1000]

618 should be a level 4; Not sure if 414418 will be level 4 or 5.

Really?? I was expecting much higher than that.

 

[Psypher1000]

Keep in mind, I'm only extrapolating from patterns listed on their page.

For 618, there are multiple x18 patterns, including 4DSA18, in the level 4 group, so not sure why 618 would be any higher than 4.

As for 414418, that one wouldn't be a whole lot different than a 4V12, which is also a Level 4 - it's one large set of shapes w/one smaller set of shapes. Even if you went alternating colors - a 4VA12 - that's still only a level 5, so for 414418 I would be shocked as hell if it was higher than a level 6.

I saw your reasoning as to why you want to have a T5 chip, but a T5 and a T1000 existing in the same set seems bizarre to met.

I would seriously consider dropping the T5 and adding a T5000 and go with 10k or 20k starting stacks.

Always personal preference, maybe I'm in the minority. But I would suggest getting some other opinions or really thinking it over how useful a T5 is.

just my 2c

 

[links_slayer]

T5 is great for the T1000 - T2500 tourneys I run, especially since I start blinds at 5/10.

What is your largest chip in play

 

[links_slayer]

T500/T1000 for rebuys/add-ons for T1000-T2500 starting stacks. The set also handles T5000-T15000 tourneys.

 

[links_slayer]

double post - sorry.

 

[Junior24xx]

Allow me to say that the whole set looks good. I really like the 5$ cash chip.... Flames and bbq and all. Lol

I'd also love a sample of these.

FYI 414418 is HIGH ask payback. He got his $5 remade with that spot and iirc it was $4+ per chip.

It might not look like a hard spot, but there is no 418 punch so the chip spots need to be punched out 3 times. One 414 punch then two 218 punches. Just because a spot pattern may not look complex it doesn't mean there isn't more labor involved compared to other chips.

Just read paybacks post. He said it was level 11

I stand corrected! Seems unusual that there wouldn't be a 418 punch, but if there isn't, there isn't. How unfortunate...that's at least *somewhat* close to v's with stripes.

That made my heart hurt.

It's a chipper's prerogative to change their mind. I made a couple of changes and wanted to see what people thought. Keep in mind that the inlay is a very rough draft and I know I'll have to resize it a tad.

Really like the new inlay! Really miss the blue spots on the $1! The maroon still looks good, though, and is slightly reminiscent of the Stardust $1 (which ain't a bad thing!).

Thanks Scott! I really like the Stardust $1 chips and my first mock-up was a bright white $1 with 414 spots that were all retro lavender. I like the two lowest denominations being the simplest.

 

[MoscowRadio]

There we go. I edited the new mock-ups to show larger images of the chips.

 

[BGinGA]

I think your cash set spot progression works much better if the $5 and $20 are swapped. Also not a fan of using DG Yellow spots on adjacent chips, and a bit surprised to find maroon in this set, since none of the other colors are weighted (and I know you dislike the metal flake look). See below for some ideas incorporating all of those items......

 

[MoscowRadio]

I'm really dead-set on the $5 chip; it was the chip I knew I wanted from the very beginning. As far as using maroon on the $1, it won't bother me to only have the flakes in the spots I don't think.

I also changed the DG yellow spot on the $20 chip to DG Saturn. I'm going to order samples of all the day-glo colors of course before I make up my mind. The $20 is the hardest chip for me to settle on.

 

[BGinGA]

I know there is a lot of love around here for CPC maroon, but I think it's a not a very pretty color. Too dark imo, almost black - would have been much better if closer to a burgundy hue. I don't think you'll like it on bright white.

 

[spikeithard]

like where this is going.. same for the inlay

 

[MoscowRadio]

I'm done. This is it.

 

[Psypher1000]

Definitely like the retro lav on the 1 better than the maroon, but if you go that route I would suggest a spot on the quarter that isn't pink or lavender.

 

[Mr Tree]

I might (probably) be in the minority but I liked the maroon on the one. I've always liked white/maroon as a color combo
