Princess' CatHouse (now Private Club) (2 Viewers)

[Kid_Eastwood]

So, the line-up is (I think) complete.

Now, I'll work on the rolling edges.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I think I might reuse the label design of the tournament set on the cash set :

I'll explore another idea and then decide.

 

[allforcharity]

Maybe try a white cat silhouette there instead of the pink?

I’ll try white or rainbow.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Here're some alternatives for this :

I think my preference goes for the color choice fpr the inlay part on the €1.

 

[Odranoel77]

I choose the €5

 

[Doumsey]

And changing the cat color to match the chip main color ? (white or gray / orange / blue / yellow / green or pink)

If not I would go for all white 10c, but that's mostly me not wanting ton of colors on my inlays. Maybe the €1 in second place with the princess text in pink.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So here the final 2 options I kept :

Option A - Gradient Cat

Option B - White Cat

 

[Doumsey]

Oh for sure Option B for me ! Classy !

 

[allforcharity]

I gravitate toward B, but both look good.

 

[Odranoel77]

Option B

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I also slightly prefer option B.
So I think the design is done.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So here's the design with rolling edges and dealer button.

I like the 5 and 20, sad no quarter. What stakes are you playing?

I like the 5 and 20, sad no quarter. What stakes are you playing?

I plan to cover :
NL10 : 10c - 10c
NL20 : 10c - 20c (most of the time)
NL50 : 50c - 50c
NL100 : 50c - $1 (not sure my group will ever play these stakes but at least my set will allow it)

I think that 50c-50c will be a good idea for our next CG.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So I got the chips yesterday.
Shipping was very fast, very secured and no missing piece.
Regarding the chips themselves, 43mm with 25mm labels, I would not have expected them to be that nice and so great to handle.

There is however something which is not good. The color of the T25 is off compared to design files and also produced samples.
So I've sent them a mail to fix this chip. The problem is that in artificial light, the green T25 becomes too close to the grey T100 in my opinion. I hope I can get it fixed.

I'll post pics later.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Just pushing another design idea I had in mind.

With plain labels :

With shaped labels:

--> note that I plan to make the cash set on these chips which have a marked central area.

I've still to think about which direction to go...

I'm not satisfied anyway with this design yet. Color choice is quite difficult with a darker background which is required for the theme (after dark). Also, the faux-shaped inlay on the €20 is not rendering well at all if I keep the same back-ground color.

Maybe doing a full moon will be better with a black cat then but I really like the crescent moon :

Clearly full moon look better imho.

With plain labels :

With shaped labels:

I like the 2 versions but maybe more the plain labels version. But not sure, hard to say only with design picture, without seeing in real.

PS : We feel your The post love with this 50¢.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

PS : We feel your The post love with this 50¢.

Yes indeed !

Avantage of the plain label is that its content can be bigger. Which for a busy design is better for visibility purposes.

Shaped design would be perfect on PolyClay chips as there will be no issue of color matching.

So if I go in this design direction, it'll be the plain version.

But again, I'm not satisfied with it, even with the full moon.

I just wanted to show what I tried but currently I'm sticking with the "private club" design.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I think that the PolyClay platform is great for shaped inlay design.
I'm almost sure I'll go in that direction.
I re-thought my design and I'm pretty satisfied with this one :

With the mold and marked central area of these chips, I think this design will render quite well.

 

[Odranoel77]

Great job Ju

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

The upper part was too busy.
Especially the crescent moon just on top of the cat silouhette.

I tweeked the design a little bit :

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Subbed to see some pics of these things. Huge evolution from the beginning. Very nicely done!

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Some update...

So this was the sample I validated :

I decided to remove the gradient because they could not manage to have the gradient color on the label similar to the chip color.

Samples have been produced and validated. I asked them to make sure edges are properly aligned because on the produced sample I would not called it perfect.

And this is what I got :

I was not happy with the green T25. Color seems too pale and in low light it was possible to get confused between the T25 and T100.

So basically they will get it redone. I’ve even had the possibility to tweek the colors. Here’s the validated sample for the new T25 :

So they will produce and ship me the fixed T25 soon.

And together with the fixed chips, they will ship me a sample of the PolyClay for my cash set. The prototype has been done :

Kid.

 

[Doumsey]

The cash set is sexy !!

Loving how it turned out.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Thanks !

I’m curious to see in person how the wording « after dark » is visible.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So SunFly fixed my green. Now I’m happy with the result as I won’t have any issue in low / artificial light between the green and grey.

Here’re pics with the previous green, new green and grey for comparison.

I changed one of the spot too.
I’ll post a full pr0n soon.

 

[allforcharity]

Nice! Even though I still like it, your old green looks definitely more like a Turquoise. A Paulson colour sample might describe it as Indian Blue.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I’ll sell the 6 « error » barrels so that anyone willing to order a custom set can test a barrel before pulling the trigger.
