Avengers Chips (1 Viewer)

[bentax1978]

The mockups for science thread got me to sit down and actually try the Chip Design Tool for the first time. Really awesome tool, although I can totally see how it can be a black hole for time

Anyway, I had posted a set of Avengers themed chips in the previous thread on (of course) the "A" mold. While I doubt I'd ever actually buy them (not to mention the potential copyright issues), I decided to make a couple of alternative mockups just to fool around and practice using the tool a bit more.

I'm curious which version people prefer.

#1 original, consistent inlays

#2 black logo, color matched background

#3 edge spot color match

#4 reversed

#5 hot stamp

Color matched looks nice but will be very hard to get exactly correct when made and may look off as an end result.

#4, as a hotstamp.

I totally agree. In reality, if I were considering actually doing something like this, I would be very concerned about getting a perfect color match in order to pull off any of the last three designs.

#4, as a hotstamp.

I actually did think about how a hot-stamp might look, especially in light of the fact that CPC is getting back into it. Combined with the above concern, the idea of doing #4 as a hot-stamp would be pretty sweet.

Promising as a hotstamp, and no possible color match issues.

On pure æsthetics, 3 2 1 4. One thing about #2 is that if a transparent inlay can be printed, you again avoid color-match issues. Hot stamping of 3 or 4 could work well for most of them, but getting a good color foil for the 25 could be tricky.

Way Cool! S.H.I.E.L.D. chips! Actually I think you need a circle in the hotstamp to make them right. The non hotstamp version seemed to work better.

Like this?

That is the one....! Works better as a hotstamp. I would buy those, at least a small cash set. Need a quarter though.... .25, 1s, and 5s. Don't worry about IP issues. I'll get the Director's approval....

4 ROCKS!!

4 ROCKS!!

I actually like #4 the best as well, as other have pointed out, it would be better as a hot stamp (in part because it would need perfect color matching to really pull off the design). A hot stamp would make color matching moot, and I kind of like the negative space design itself.

Even though I was just messing around and wasn't serious about making these, I do agree that they'd make a pretty cool cash set. Hadn't thought too much about a quarter. Perhaps a set with a quarter could omit the $100 Thor chip and replace it with a $0.25 black (widow) solid quarter. Not that it's worth putting too much thought into it until you actually get the Director's approval

If you make them as a hot stamp, and I would be able to take a loan. I'd be interested in a mini group buy with you, lol.

Looks awesome bentax!!!

I'm sure I have asked. Where in upstate NY?

Thanks!

I'm just outside Albany, so pretty much 2.5 hours due north of NYC and 4 hours east of Buffalo. I remember you mentioned you travel to Rochester occasionally, that's probably 3 hours west of my place.

I changed my vote to 4.

If CPC would actually do these, I would be more than happy to run a group buy

In for 500 chips

 

[Magic Peter]

3 or 1 for me.
I love the 3 but don't know if it will last... The 1 is a solid choice even if (or because) it is less audacious.

 

[jadillon]

In for 500 as well. Waiting for a reply from Director Coulson.... Be a oool hotstamp. Black quarters and all the way up to Black Hundo....
