Dig these!
However…
Are you aware that you can save the entire set as one picture? Click “Save as PNG” at the bottom of the left menu.

Yeah I tried that and it keeps giving me an error message that says there’s nothing saved in this set and only lets me export the main chip.
Weird. Wish I could knew how to help.

Click on the chip and save it that way then design a new one and repeat to save a set together.
Someone else's CPC Atlantic set using non-stock colors inspired me. Might do something like this in the future for tourney with starting blinds of 1/2 or 5/10... partly the same colors as the stock CPC chips but better spot progression IMHO.

Really liking the colours on these…

First attempt at a new design idea. Maybe I shouldn't make part of the "O" in poker yellow, just all white...?
1847?

Ive been on a bit of a kick lately of reading a lot about my citys history. Frederick Douglas, who lived in my home town and is buried here, published his first newspaper, The North Star, in 1847.
I would consider 414 spots to represent the cardinal directions, then. Maybe even a special spot just for the North position.

Good call on the 414.
Would making the North spot all the same color be off putting?
To me? No. But an alternate idea is to use consistent 414 spot colours but put a yellow star completely in the spot field. That way from the side there will be no dirty stacks.
Another abandoned project.
What I liked:
1. It started as a limit set with the others thrown in for good measure.
2. I'm really intrigued by a charcoal base and butterscotch spots, imperial blue and orange as a base.
3. Dark green as green or black- seems highly underused as a color.
4. I was looking for an old-school casino vibe, something that could have been built with (or instead of) the Aladdin, Sands, or Sahara.
5. The name (it means "the sea," is two of the three words from which "Admiral" is derived) has a couple of personal connections, including my love of the sea.
What killed it:
1. I wasn't confident enough in the butterscotch on charcoal spot. I've seen close, but not enough to spend $$$ on it.
2. I changed my approach and wanted to ditch the value chip and turn the 50¢ limit workhorse chip into a no-denom chip; I wasn't happy with the inlays I was coming up with.
3. The name means something, but the connection to poker is non-existent.
4. I don't like Las Vegas and putting another city/town didn't really work for me.
Where I went:
I came up with another inlay design and the resulting project really took off for me. (Although I'm not faced with the same challenge of turning a great-looking no-denom inlay into something that work with a denom, but I think I might mix it up...)
(Shaped inlay image scaling isn't CPC correct.)

Maybe color match the O to each chip’s base color?

The purple chip isn't bad but there's really no point in using DG Pink and DG Tiger spots together on the same chip as they are rather difficult to tell apart from each other... you'd be better off just going with one or the other.
This chip design is based off this:
I have never seen these stacked but I imagine would look pretty incredible

I'm sure they would but CPC colours are not the same.

I love chips looking the same from any angle, so 3 or 4 spots at least.
I do the grave injustice of just 2 spots only to poor fracs.

A compromise with a better spot pattern:
I don't care for CPC's current V12 spots and pay no attention to the fact that I used it in both of my custom sets lol.
Arc yellow on the $5 and ship it
A possible cheap ceramic hybrid travel set. Spots not necessarily 4V12 as pictured here; I 'm thinking of 4Vs with the tiny 1/8 sub-spot inside each V (how on Earth is it called?)
I 'm thinking (always mindful of probable poverty ahead and hard retirement years) of a set that can play both as micro-cash and tourney, securely.
So, 1-5-20-100 dimes, to play also as T units in 20E or 30E tournaments.
It would be, of course, custom-labelled "Aegean Phare", a lighthouse in the darkness.
Azure sea, light blue sky, white wave foam, sunshine, scorched earth and spring wildflowers.
The Greek flag is anyway inspired by the sea and its foamy waves.

With that said the 3rd and 4th denom look strikingly familiar
