These were the colors sent.

T25: CC46, CC22
T100: CC60, CC57
T500: CC08, CC40
T1K: CC49, CC42
T5K: CC04, CC22
T25K: CC28, CC56
T100K: CC41, CC60
 
Here are my thoughts thus far:

T25 - shocked but actually looks great
T100 - spot color needs minor change
T500 - base needs to be lighter blue
T1K - base needs major adjustment
T5K - base could be tweaked but its pretty close
T25K - base could be a little lighter but it's close
T100k - looks great

Pretty much in agreement with your assessment, though I think the T500 is probably fine. Seems like a lot of the pictures of the T500 are overexposed, making the base look lighter than how it might look in real life. Base is CC08, I feel like CC07 or CC06 would be too light, and I think CC02 might be too gray.

May not have a better choice for the T500 base, but depends on if Sun-Fly's willing to run more samples.

I think if we stick with Sun-Fly approved colors, these are the adjustments I'd make:

  • T25 - Keep as-is.
  • T100 - switch spot color from CC57 to CC36 to be a lighter yellow
  • T500 - Probably keep as-is.
  • T1K - Switch base to C48. (See comparisons below.)
  • T5K - Probably keep as-is. (Base color would have same issues as the spot color on the T100.)
  • T25K - Probably keep as-is. (I tried 3 different color codes, and the other two were either too light or too blue.)
  • T100K - Keep as-is.
For the T1K, here are what the color sample chips look like for the CC49 I originally chose, and potential alternatives CC48 and CC23:

CC49 in the color sample chips looks lighter than they do in the Aria test run. CC48 doesn't look that much lighter in the color sample chip, but would be an improvement--the K (black) value changes from 14 to 1, which should make the overall color not quite as dark.

(CC23 might not look like it in the picture, but the CMYK values would make it more magenta-looking than red.)

They will re run as many as long as I pay for them lol. $5 per sample. I don't care how many times it takes really, I want it to be great. We are very close already. I have requested 3 changes as of now, the spot on the T100 to 56, the base on T500 to 07 and the base on T1K to 48. She will send more photos and we can go from there. I was really happy with this first run.

Do you mean T100 to 36, not 56? Glad they are being flexible! Would be interested to see how the 07 looks on the T500. This color-matching stuff is tough!

What do you think about lightening the "Aria" text/logo color in the middle? It does seem lighter in the pics of the actual chips than on the samples.
 
FYI - This design (or a version of it with slightly smaller 26.9mm "inlay") is available in this Tina textured no-mold GB: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...laddin-stardust-bellagio-aria-pny-etc.101141/

I also heard back from Sun-Fly on the cost for a group order on these. We're looking at a range of $0.96/chip for 2,500 chips to $0.92/chip for 5,000 chips, to $0.86/chip if we can hit 10,000 chips, which includes shipping to California (where I am, dunno if it'd be more to other parts of the US) and my artist fee, but does not include reshipping (if I were to run a group buy) or other potential taxes and fees.

As I mentioned before, I want the design to be available at different price points, where people on a budget can get something affordable with the Tina textured no-molds at 33¢/chip, while people who want the higher quality and are willing to pay more can get these hybrids from Sun-Fly for 86-96¢/chip.

No, I did 56 on the T100. I thought it should be a little darker and more grey/brown vs the 36 which is lighter. I could be totally wrong... it is weird I didn't think the green on the 25 would look good but it was almost perfect lol. I also didn't think the red on the 1K would be so far off. The only other one I thought about changing was the spot on the 25k to a little bit more lighter pink but we'll see on the next go around.

I didn't even notice the text color. It doesn't bother me but if you want to change it that is totally fine.

Oops, brain fart :rolleyes: I thought you were talking about the T1000. Too many damned numbers! :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

The one thing I did ask Susie was to clarify if they used the CC numbers I sent that we came up with or if they chose them based on the vector file...
 
Figure I'd continue discussing ideas and modifications in this thread rather than the GB thread. Those of you interested in the Rio WSOP designs, would you get chips in all 14 denoms (13 if you're not getting both versions of the T5Ks) or a subset?

I'm wondering if I should modify the design, or create a smaller (sub)set, where none of the spot patterns repeat, maybe get rid of the T10K altogether (since very few tournament sets include that denom) and move the spot patterns from the highest denoms down.

Thoughts? Tagging @HebbNH and @LowerBama1714 from the GB thread.

I’d vote leaving them all on the table and as original as possible. If for some reason you don’t hit MOQ in a couple denoms just don’t offer them once you decide to close the GB.
 
Personally, I’m mostly here for the ‘05 and/or ‘06 lineup(s) or a subset thereof. No interest in the T500Ks and up that were introduced much later. I’d probably be out if there were major spot/denom changes as that kind of defeats the purpose for me.

But, I’m also curious to see what a revised lineup could look like as there are obvious issues with the originals — overuse of black and not enough contrast between orange T5K and red T25k being the main ones. And, of course, it’s your GB and you should absolutely do what you think is best!
 
Good to know, I never knew or expected T500 based discussions to exist since it felt like it’s always 90% T25 or T100 5% T5 and 5% other so far
Has anyone played with a T1K base tournament.

Avoids the inefficient chip ups that you get when using the T25 or T500 chips.

T1k will work like T1 Tourney

1k/5k/25k/100k 10/8/10/1 for 400k starting stack at blind starting at 1k/1k or 1k/2k

You will need 20 x 25k for colouring up 1k/5k STT & 40 x 100k for 1 rebuy

100 x 1k
80 x 5k
120 x 25k
50 x 100k

You can also do 10/13/9/1 same for 400k starting stack at blind starting at 1k/1k or 1k/2k

You will need 30 x 25k for colouring up 1k/5k STT & 40 x 100k for 1 rebuy

100 x 1k
130 x 5k
120 x 25k
50 x 100k

Ah yeah it’s just a a T1 with a extra 0’s on the end lol.

Is it really that much different between T500 and T1K though? Seems like it just saves an inefficient chip that you can use for more a more useful denomination.

I think it just the nature progression of Tourney.

It used to be T5 tourney, then it moved on to T25 and now T100 being the most commonly used tourney format by the big organisations.

So, naturally T500 is next on the menu as the buyin on tourneys increased every year
