Working on Web Mold design (12 Viewers)

[Hunter_Makoy]

I'm currently working on a web mold hybrid chip design for 39mm chips for casual/family home game.

The chips are overall based off the L'Auberge Lake Charles chips with the colors and edge spots so I'm trying to work out good French names that would work out.

This is what I have so far for the design. Would love some feedback. Haven't worked on the compression spots on the rolling edge yet.

EDIT: updated with design sent for production

The design look nice.

The design look nice.

Thanks, I've finalized the name and have had some renders made by @kkcc98 . I think I will be tweaking the colors a little bit since the blacks are a little too dark. On the 25s its actually supposed to be a very dark green but it just comes across as black.

 

[Hunter_Makoy]

I will need to find out how to make sure the label on the 5 is put upside down like in the tender so make the edge spots line up they way. Looks much better.

Well - let me say - you asked.

I love the Inlay, the colors, the theme, , the background color and printing, the overall look, it is a great manipulation of negative space.

(for me - I might be in the minority - but I normally dont like a cursive or script style of font. Although, the font you are using is that not that much of a cursive font - its just me - I have difficulty reading cursive - when all the letters are connected)

Now - to the edge spots.

This is where I like to challenge people. Since these are being printed, you do not have to stick to the old trope of Edge spot progression, no extra costs exists to use less boring edge spots patterns.

Expand your choices, make use of that materials and technology that is being used. You can use more interesting Edge Spots, once reserved for high value chips. Also you can pick different combinations of colors for the edge spots. like the 8V for example, in the Paulson builder it is built with 2 different colors - well again, because of the technology being used to make these chips you can pick 4 colors if you want. The balance and locations of these edge spots is essentially unlimited with the choice and color combos. If the CPC or Paulson builder only allows a limited number or choices of color options on a chip - that does not mean you are limited - you can include many different color options and locations.

These are for you -so the choice is yours (but once you get these - you have them - so make them the best you can right now)

Anyway - this is my feedback - as I like to say - Your Mileage may vary.

In the design tool you can rotate the chip to your liking and submit it to CPC that way and you should be good to go. I would mention it as well when sending it in. You can't over communicate enough.

That dark green will look very similar to black except in optimal lighting. I would consider using a different shade of green if u don't want it to look black.

These are going to be made through Tina, web mold hybrid so it will have labels. I could rotate the chip face no problem but don’t know how to do the rolling edge to make sure it lines up.

Yeah Im working on the green a bit to make it not just appear black. I know it will be close and wouldn’t be the end of the world since the $25 l’auberge chip it’s based on IS black for those edge spots, I’m still trying to be a little different.

Yeah I didn’t want to go with anything that was too much of a cursive font because I agree it can be a bit busy.

Ultimately, especially in regards to the edge spots, these are a bit of a tribute chip to the l’auberge lake Charles chips so that’s why I’m sticking with that type of layout.

In the future I will be taking advantage of going able to do whatever I want, like a bud jones of chipco style deal.

Thanks. It kinda happened by accident. I put on the three combinations to see which one worked best and decided to just go with all of them.

If you have face and matching rolling edge art, rotating the face won’t matter, Tina will make sure it aligns.
If you haven’t been using the chip and edge art template from Eightywon, you should definitely check it out. Many edgespot and matching rolling edge art:

I’ll check that out, thanks.

But ultimately I can rotate the face and it doesn’t matter that I don’t change the rolling edge?

 

[Colquhoun]

As long as the width of each edgespot matches the width of the face, you’re ok.
Also know that since it’s on a curve, each edgespot on the edge will be a bit longer than the face. You can either do the math to figure it out, or use the templates using the link I provided.

 

[ekricket]

It matters. Unaligned edge spots are the worse. There are people here that have them in sets and out of respect for their feelings I can’t say what I really think about unaligned edge spots. But they are not good.

The only thing I’m changing is the orientation on the face luckily. Yeah I have noticed that it is stretched out a bit that’s why I don’t want to screw with the rolling edge lol.

Oh yes unaligned edges absolutely matter. What I mean is it won’t matter that mine aren’t lined up, they will align them for me.

That 500 is an awesome addition! It brightens up the whole set by bringing in another color while also connecting to the rest of the set through the edge spots. Nice work!

Thanks. The move from inkscape to AI ruins the drop shadow on the label so I'm hoping they can keep that separate and use the .png file I sent to keep it accurate. I'll post some pics once they show up just to illustrate how the IRL chips compare to the mockup

I can’t wait to see them. Are you getting them through Justin at Broken Arrow or another supplier?

Since png is raster like a photo and not vector, it may print a bit blurrier since it has been converted to pixels. If you want to send me your vector art, I may be able to replicate the shadow in Illustrator and save it as an .ai file. Shoot me a PM if interested.

 

[dizzyChipper]

Really digging these. Love how the edge spot complexity increases with denom. Love the vibrant green 25s. Can you add a white 1 with simpler edge spots than the 5s.

Everything has already been submitted for the group buy but if the labels don't turn out right I will sure reach out to you about getting it converted to .ai and having labels reprinted.

IDK that they would be simpler edge spots than the 5s but I can certainly work on a 1 at some point. it would be white with light blue edge spots to follow the same theming from l'Auberge Lake Charles

 

[Hunter_Makoy]

Would be something like this.

Hey if it's a tribute set i understand wanting to keep it authentic.

I love that the complexity is clearly increasing so for a 1 I'd go 2 spots or a half pie (not in the attached colors. Just first examples I found.)

My choice would be a white and light blue half pie.

Regards,

I was thinking that since the $1 uses the wide edge spots I could possibly do just two. I agree about wanting it to progress.

 

[Hunter_Makoy]

Keeping with the same color theme conventions as the others I would imagine it looking something like this.

 

[Hunter_Makoy]

Me either!

Yes this is through Justin. Went in with the Feb. group buy. If they come out close to the 3d renders they are going to look amazing! I doubt the blacks will come out quite as deep but it is what it is. As I said I'm also worried about the labels but at least that's decently fixable since these are hybrids.

Anyway fingers crossed!

That’s true if replacing the labels is the worst case scenario that doesn’t sound too bad. I’m definitely excited to see how they come out.

Side note, that 1 chip another awesome addition!

What I'm thinking I might do for the background since there are only so many things I can come up with, is use the 100 on the 1, and then if i end up making a 25 cent I will use the 25$ for that, and then redo the 500 to use the 5 background.

EDIT: If I did a quarter chip I think I would either make it a solid or do the pie type but in 4ths. Colors would be probably yellow to orange with maybe ocean blue/ice blue if I go with the pie type.
