Thoughts on Mocks for Ceramic Set - *Now with Ray-Col Renders! (2 Viewers)

I don't like the new 1000 but you should definitely keep that 5000 pie spot and colors. Looks great!

Edit: The 500 purple looks just right but from my own experiences having Sun-Flys printed, the purple is going to turn out way too dark after printing.

meh pt.2..

FWIW I still like post #14 best.

Print going darker, source graphic and photo of actual chip.

Note that the photo was made with somewhat good lighting and has already been brightened a bit. When you check it out in person the print is a lot darker than how it looks on screen.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Yes. This is a big problem with purple especially. That's why I've lightened my chip three separate times. I want a saturated purple without going too dark. I have pretty extensive experience with colors on ceramic. Greens and blues are also a bit to nail down. It pretty much justifies buying the color wheel chips vendors offer.

I would encourage you to either go with a hybrid chip, or with the diamond-molded ceramics, or simply remove the mold aspect completely.

^^ This, 100%. Hybrids are your best bet for image clarity for the inlay area, plus it drastically helps better achieve the faux-clay chip look (and feel) you want. Ditch the fake mold markings.

Personally, I'd make these minor color changes:

25 - swap out the olive green spot for a light yellow and a little more pizzazz.

100 - replace the gray/tan spot with light pink, again, more in line with the other (brighter) chips.

500 is okay, but I'd probably swap the lavender and purple -- lavender base, purple spot -- to get more contrast against the 100 chip.

That 8d18 white 1000 chip is stellar. Best chip in the entire thread so far.

5000 needs work, imo. I'm not a fan of the flower-pie pattern unless the base (flowers) match one of the spot colors. (The current dark base with dark inlay looks like a deformed turtle in a hex-pie chip). Might even consider just making it a hex-pie, period -- a unique pattern not available anywhere else.


EDIT/ADDED: looking at your inlay shapes, the 100, 500, and 1000 all mesh very well with the spot patterns. Along those same lines, you might consider moving the hex pattern to the 1000 5000, and making the 25 a tri-moon.

I have come to terms with the elimination of the clubs around the perimeter. I was always iffy about how they'd turn out.
I would also love to use the polyclay series but as mentioned before they don't do a 43mm slug in those. If I go hybrid, which is what I had intended before I started development of these I'd also have to ditch the shaped inlays because of the glossy laminate. That isn't a deal breaker. But chip size is. I love the oversized options.

Your so close to White Orange and Black on the 1,000 Go Flyers!!

Pretty sure Sun-Fly also offers a matte finish laminate. It was discussed in the original hybrid group buy thread.

One thought I had was maybe removing the white outlines around “the silver club”. When actually produced it will be very small and seeing it with a bright screen can be deceiving on how much contrast you’ll have. I talk to clients all the time about their logos and the simplicity they are better off with so they can be clear at .25 inch and 25 feet in size.

Just a thought. I like your direction on these!

The white outline was part of a denomination grouping from a previous project. It was used to illustrate a void space that would have been present in the old screening days of printing. It looks odd because the red is actually tilted on a very slight angle to give the impression it has been mis-printed. It worked really well. It most definitely won't print well on ceramic as the image just isn't "sharp" enough.

...unless I go hybrid...
Decisions. Decisions..

That white 3TA316 (or is it 3TA14?) 1000 looks suspiciously like one of the chips I've ordered with my CPC set which I didn't show Only missing tri-moon inlay shape.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Only missing tri-moon inlay shape.

I'll get on that!

Ive already changed the colors so your secret is safe and sacred. (y) :thumbsup:

For the win!!

Love the ticks here. Consider a hub shape here (or possibly elsewhere in the lineup) instead of star?

Not a fan of the tick marks here. Otherwise love the chip. Minus the tickmarks, my favorite in the bunch.

Definitely. I don't like the star because it's fingers extend too much.

Granted. I just wanted it slightly different from the HSC 1K...

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Couldnt find one I liked so I blended a few...

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Well, the set took a major hit tonight. Sunfly no longer offers the matte laminate for their hybrid chips.
Shaped inlays will now have to be round. On a positive note I guess that means everything can be bigger :

I love the color matched inlay!! Edge spots look great!!

Toned down the radial flare in the back...

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Juuuuuust right...

Love the chips!

Does the "Tournament" banner end a little too close to the 'B'?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

short answer...YUP.

I will be taking care of the small details when Ive decided on whether or not I like the light behind the club. I'm pretty sure i want to change the denom font as well.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

adjustments made..man, I really like the other 1000..:

I really like the 1k chip on the left. I like the other chips as well (although, I have never been a tri-moon fan).

 

[Basmx]

I really love all the chips! Wouldn't mind a sample set of those
