Satriale's: A Sopranos Tribute (1 Viewer)

[chippitydoodah]

Alright people, here's an update:

Thanks for the comments on the inlay. I played around with the placement of the different texts on Satriale's the logo, shifting the bit that says 'PORK STORE' to above the rest. I feels like this gives the entire logo a bit more breathing room. Which also frees up a space below for a bolder denomination text. Originally I chose that cursive handwritten typeface as I felt it was in tune with the 'Satriale's' text, but I do like how Compacta Bold looks. (thanks @Lopii9)

Now I've always wanted to add a frac to the set, but the issue was what colour and what is it referencing? I did mention in my OP the option I had in the mind, but I was pretty set on the 'cold cuts' option anyway. (click images for full resolution)

So here's the frac referencing salami/mortadella:

Quick mention to changing the edgespot of $25 chip to reference the Langworthy used in the show.

Happy to hear what everyone thinks.

Gabagool frac is amazing.

definitely like the bolder font for the denom. but i think you gotta have the pig there! maybe just keep the pig and eliminate pork store under satriales. with the pig and italian pork already there just have satriales and meat market.

When you make these available to others to purchase to bring the price per chip down, you should offer the salami/mortadella frac as an option, along with your trimoon.

 

[chippitydoodah]

You got the gabagool chip, you got the Italian flag chip, you got the Langworthy replica chip. Now you gotta make that 5 look more like a tablecloth (its too dark) and figure out something better for the yellow chip. And I'm in favor of a neon outline on the pig

 

[DrunkleWade]

I still prefer the layout of your 'before' inlay but with the Compacta denom. Gotta have the piggie.

Love the fracs and the new $25 edge spots too.

Agreed red is too dark. I swapped the colours from the base with the edgespot. Liking this much better.

Piggy is back! Dunno about making it neon tho.



Does the current frac not look mortadella-y enough? Seems a bit much to create a full salami one which might even cause dirty stack issues.

 

[Lopii9]

I think the changes are spot on & I had the same frac in mind before you posted it so good job there.
Also the inlay is now more balanced with the porc on top!

 

[AH77]

The inlay looks pretty solid now. I’m not sure there’s any way to realistically incoporate the neon as well. There’s only so much design you can squeeze into an inlay.

I like the design. Frac looks good it also gives off some piggy vibes

 

[Cratty]

Couple thoughts- take or leave them!

1. Increase piggy size a bit and down shift? Definitely a great focal point/highlight of the inlay, and also would help ensure inner text legibility.

2. I'd lighten the background some to make the metal a bit more muted. Tina's inlays will print slightly darker, but also just a bit busy IMO.

3. I'd also consider remaking the meat market banner to be more flowing/rounded vs the flat. Know the flat ties directly to the show, but I think would really make the inlay shine more.

 

[BaroneSanitation]

Should the frac have a couple black specs for the black peppercorns in the mortadel?!

I already want this set

 

[kkcc98]

Made changes to the inlay:

Bigger piggie, vignette, black shadow under text to make it bolder, wavy banner.

Think I’m gonna park this for now. Will think about possibly a $500 or bounty chip in the background. If anyone’s got ideas for that send em below.

 

[DrunkleWade]

Yeah, now you're cookin'

I think the gap between the dollar sign and the denom might be a bit wide and I'd centralise the number. My opinion only of course.

PARK IT?!?!? NOOOOOO

Agreed. I would also not make the $ any taller than the cent sign on the frac.

 

[kkcc98]

Damn now you’ve pointed out the gap I can’t unsee it now.

 

[SteveEH]

Center the denomination without the dollar/cent symbol, then add the symbol off-center using a smaller font.
