"The Continental" InterContinental San Juan Tribute Design (1 Viewer)

[TheOffalo]

I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a while (and I hadn't seen anyone else do this yet), and since I've been trying to get some Bud Jones tribute designs off the ground in two Sun-Fly PolyInno hybrid chip GBs (Aria-based "Aura" tribute and Rio/WSOP-based "Las Vegas Poker Classic" tribute), I was able to leverage some of the work I did on those designs to make this InterContinental San Juan tribute design, based on the hotel featured in the John Wick movies:

I'm having a hard time, though, deciding between "The Continental Hotel" or just "The Continental" for the name, and whether to use the original "Resort & Casino" or some other choices for the bottom text. I've put up a poll, so please vote (and feel free to comment w/other suggestions)!

For reference, here's what the line-up looks like. Photo courtesy of @The Chip Exchange:

FYI - the label area on my design is smaller to the chip, proportionally, than the originals. I designed these to match Sun-Fly's PolyInno hybrids that have 25.4mm labels. Not sure if these will go into a Sun-Fly GB or maybe a Tina one on textured no-mold.

Constructive feedback welcome!

My vote would be just "The Continental" because it would makes the overall dimensions and spacing of things match the originals better. As for the second line, "hotel & casino" or "resort & casino" both seem great to me!

This. I have these chips and this is a great replica. Neat, clean.

There’s a couple John Wick Continental designs floating around, even some cut cards that look like a Continental hotel room key.

Yeah I think @JeepologyOffroad designed those for @BarrieJ3.

Hadn’t seen any chip designs that referenced John Wick or the Continental.

It’s one of those “gotta be in the secret club” designs.

If you go with just ""The Continental," you could put a glass of O.J. and a muffin on there. I would think that would one of a kind.

Either way you win.

Hopefully I didn't inadvertently replicate an existing design. I'm sure I'm not the first to make the leap from "InterContinental" to "Continental"...

@Samuel suggested I do a New York version.

I'm a little surprised the polls are favoring "Resort & Casino" over "Hotel & Casino". In-universe, the Continental isn't really a resort, but I can see the appeal of keeping to the original IC verbiage.

Oasis instead of resort or hotel could be a nice Easter egg.

Always loved the John Wick series, looking forward to see where this ends up might have to get in on the GB if there is one
