Looking for some advice on this big fish collection I made. Edges would be solid colors with aligned edges with the top color rolling over.

Inlay is absolutely quality and, assuming these are going to be ceramic chips, great to see someone use the full face of the chip for the design. Only worry would be the replication of white and yellow as base colours?

I'd have no issue with the font, it fits nicely, but what what makes me go "ugh" is the ".50" instead of "50¢".

Thanks! Yes, these are ceramics so trying to utilize the entire face was the plan. I was thinking that about the white and yellow too but then thought the edges would really be the solid colors so stacked they would really pop off. essentially all the edges would be in order: Lime, white, red, blue, yellow, purple, black, teal, and hot pink.

Appreciate the constructive feedback!

Good call. might as well use the cents if I'm using the dollar sign. I'm actually not a huge fan of the $ in a lot of my other designs, which is why I use the . or the .50, but in this case it totally makes cents (sense). Good catch!

Thanks. Font is actually Reklame but does look similar to Marker. Wanted to find something similar to the Fish font without it being script and too hard to read. I'll look for some other font options.

What about the sans serif you used for BIG?

I gave that a shot but it looked too thin. Maybe I’ll offset the path and make it thicker/bolder since that typeface does have a bold option. Appreciate the suggestion!

So, just to confirm, the actual circular sides of the chips are going to be solid colours?

I like the font and the chip overall. Well done

That’s the thought right now. I’ll do some circles or small lines but the bulk would be the identifying colors.

I should have read your OP properly, in hindsight, my bad, hahah!

Btw mocks usually go in this thread: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/post-mockups-for-fun-science.8283/

Really like the artwork and font.

Few things to consider:

• BR Pro's black IMO is a dark gray. Recommending ordering some samples to see the colors.
• $500 and $25k would be hard for some colorblind folks to distinguish.
• Consider dropping the comma from 1k and 5k.

Without reading all the way back...
When you use black for ceramic applications, what CMYK value do you use?

This is based on the Tiki Kings and Card Wars samples I ordered. My chips don't use black. Which rich black do you like the best?

EDIT: Upon re-examining my samples, I think the Tiki Kings are intentionally a dark gray.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

I almost always use 50/50/50/100 for black. That's why I asked. The graying that I've noticed is usually an issue with the edges and a lack of pressure to have the pigment really penetrate the chip.

I make my own chips and typically use 100/100/100/100 if I’m flooding the color. If I have to do detail or small line then I’ll use 50/50/50/100 to ensure the lines don’t bleed.

Interesting that the most personal chip you designed is going on ceramic

Loving a lot about this chip. The roughened spots, the large denom, the home-y font, the big swooping S, that sunflower.

Maybe I need new glasses but I find the "There's No Place Like Home" text hard to read because of its size.

Have you tried nudging the 25¢ text left a little?

FYI, Just because it has my name on it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the most personal.

I need to learn my chip history heh. Thanks for sharing

Totally fair, my mistake.

Aegean Phare, on the Meander ("new Greek") mold.

Combining colors for the sea, waves, sky, sun, sunset and springtime wildflowers.

Profound thanks to @mattross1313

Bourbon-inspired ceramic design. I've had one set produced but would love to get some thoughts/feedback.

 

[Littleluck55]

Upper denoms added.

 

[MichaelBubly]

Messing around with a Mint tournament set. Not sure how I feel about it at this point. Inlay needs some work and I'm a little iffy on the spots and colors so far.

can we see the lower denoms?

My cash game set. Not as fancy as the ones before me but this will get lots of playtime with my friends. Working on much better View attachment 159206 themed inlays for my next order.

WHOAH. I'm a fan. I'm working on a cash set that uses the Philippines currency colors. I'm still deciding on the inlay. Did these ever see the light of day? If so could you post pics?

 

[deeoohhgee]

here's a trial at a sort of Matsui-esque design ... yes i know the denoms need work (there's a much deeper story there related to the fact that 2 of our regular players are color blind so was just needing something that kind of plain that really stands out), and i left off the inlay logo. i'm thinking i would would attempt something like this on a set of hybrid scrowns or hybrid plains ... i was also thinking of adding a border to the inlay, in the edge spot color just to accentuate that.

alright here are the inlays:
