Post mockups for fun/science? (5 Viewers)

[saleen121212]

I mocked these up a while ago. Was gonna do a Tortuga Island tourney set. I just used some logo I found online. I wasn't to the point to have someone do up the proper inlays.

I like this, but I am not sold on the turtle yet, leaning towards island if I can find something.

You 're on a good path IMO.
Frac is perfect, and $1 perfect too - and your grail chip, reportedly.
It's obvious which colors you love, but you should avoid over-using them, to prevent the "salad" or dirty stack effect.
To this aim, I would use another yellow for the $20 (the darker "Yellow" or the more pale "DG Yellow") with absolutely a green and a black or maroon spot.
I would also use the perfectly light orangey DG Arc Yellow for spots on the Charcoal chip, coupled with DG Peacock blue or R Lavender (if you insist) spots.

Theme-wise, my 2c:
The sailing ship concept is great. The Horseshoe mold is great too, but I 'm not sure the two match, concept-wise.
Furthermore, I wouldn't allow turtles anywhere near my chips.
If you don't dislike, for some specific reason, the readily available and all time classic A-mold, go for a slave (instead of pirate) ship which turned a symbol of freedom.
A for Amistad.
There can and must be a truckload of other ideas too.

Updated set idea with new inlay. Working on replacing the ship with something else and need feedback on the whole Cali set. Denoms are quarter, 1, 5 and 20 so far. 1 is based on king one. Label based on bellagio with a small pirate theme. Maybe a treasure chest or capital T instead of the ship? View attachment 217415

Not sold on brown spots on the yellow or spots on the frac

really feeling that blue chip. not so sure about the color of the label though... everything seems so bright then the label seems so dull (in brilliance of color) in comparison.

I´ve been working on this design for some time now... Thinking about getting a ceramic set made.
The 5¢ and $500 will probably not be made, but designing is fun anyways...
I put a little "J" at the bottom to be some kind of discreet signature, given there is nothing written on the chips. The fox represents a soccer team.
Thoughts?

I like it but I feel the fox itself needs some sort of shaped boundary around it with a different background color as the white color blends in too much on certain colors such as the yellow.

what team is that anyhow?

Thanks, man! I’ll work on some sort of shape.

As for the team, it is Cruzeiro (best Brazilian team IMO, obv )

Just playing around. Gear did the labels.

My first try at inlay design and CPC.
Not sure how small you should can go with font size and be readable.

Nice combinations! For your $20 though, there may not be enough contrast between the DG Saturn base (a very greenish yellow, in person) and the DG Green spots. Maybe Dark Green instead? (and Green for the rest, as already). Or, use the DG Light Yellow as a base?
Get the full color sample if you haven't done so.

For readability, a larger inlay (1in or 1plus) is better, with those molds which can allow those. But the downside is less clay surface on the face, so less grip when stacked and probably "inferior" shuffling sound (utterly subjective).

 

[SatSuJin]

Thanks for input
I'll work on it some more

Your inlay design goes out way too far over the print safe area. If you have it produced like it is now, a lot of text around the edge (and some of the artwork like the dragon ornament and the outermost trees) will be cut off in a really ugly way. Use the inlay design templates from the design tool's website (linked in footer). They have bleed/cut areas embedded.

Also, the red text below the denom is way too small, and even if it was bigger it will barely be readable - red is already fairly dark, and with a black background around there will not be enough contrast. Black/dark colors tend to "bleed" a little into lighter adjacent colors. Just a tiny bit, but it will tip the scales in such a case.

 

[SatSuJin]

ok thanks I will work on it... but not sure how to translate the template to the CPC design tool. but ill try thanks.
I think I saved the picture at the red line and not the green line from the template me tinks

How about trying a dark grey to light grey gradient effect on the "ground" area starting from the bottom of the pagoda?

Background obviously mimics the Japanese flag. Which is plain white with a red dot in the center. Not much room for change without bastardizing it.

 

[BGinGA]

new age dice chips. i approve

Yep, all they need are some uniform white spots.

...which is why I suggested the gradient effect to replace the black parts of the ground and maybe the bottom of the pagoda.

 

[Nex]

Doubt it will look good then, if removing the black ground. It provides a clean, visually separate section on the quite busy chip for the denom that helps quickly recognizing it among the clutter.

 

[SatSuJin]

I made the bot text white and up the size a bit. not sure if its enough.
I save the picture from the green line this time.
I will have to play around with the ground contrast perhaps when i get more time today.
thanks all for input thus far.

 

[SatSuJin]

a little closer look

 

[BGinGA]

If you can't read it in real-life size, it's too small.

 

[Nex]

Imo the denom font is big enough. Location doesn't really matter if it's too small to read without aid, you don't need to read that during play after all.

You don't have to leave a completely white ring around the edge by the way - it's only important that it does not contain text or anything else you do not want to get cut off in the middle. You can extend the ground all to the edge for example, and the slightly off-white background + the rays as well. But the white border around does have some flair to it too. Somewhat resembles the dot inside the Japanese flag once again.

One day I’ll make my dream Cali color set...

 

[Advocate]

Some w frac. Some without. To $500.
One of these variations will eventually make up my grail cash set.
All bases are weighed.
All spots are unweighed retro or dayglo.

 

[SatSuJin]

was thinking about some plaques incoming from Apache...

 

[SeanGecko]

Working on a future CPC set. Maybe in a decade or so.

 

[Davism72]

Just starting to get comfortable in the chip tool. I really dig the maroon color, so I thought I'd try to mock up a bunch of different $1s, maroon on white. Anybody have a favorite of these? I think I prefer #2.

[Beakertwang]

How about a tourney set to go with my 8V cash set?

 

[SeanGecko]

Do it!
