Paris Cards Mold Cash Tribute (1 Viewer)

[Mortalpawn]

I threw these together while learning more about Illustrator. They are not 100% true to the originals, but probably close enough for cards mold. I took some artistic license. PM me images of the higher denomination actual chips as there seem to be plenty of images on the $1-$5 but not much on the higher denoms.

I put multiple colors for the fractionals and would like to know which ones people prefer.

I built one set completely in the "new" style and one set completely in the old style.

New Style:

And the old style:

I think the new style looks nice. Maybe a difference spot color for the frac?

Yes I like the bright orange you suggested as a spot color - reminds me of the BTP 0.25!

 

[Mortalpawn]

Here's a version with colors on the $0.25 spots. I still have a slight preference for the light orange 0.25, but interested in more opinions.

Which $0.25 do you like?

 

[PlayerADK]

This set is sweet - I'd want to switch out the $25 chip for personal preference, but looks great as is for tribute set

 

[mugenpowr]

Just do it!

 

[LeLe]

Since I’m colour blind, I will choose either one of the following two

This set is looking good

Made some more color adjustments based on the likely Paulson colors used and went with the orange 0.25 for now:

 

[Mortalpawn]

Dealer buttons done as well.

 

[MrCutoff]

Nicely done, very tasteful tribute.

 

[Mortalpawn]

Added the card mold overlay:

Someone suggested moving the $2 down to become a 5 cent for micro stakes:

 

[harrysallout]

What about the $2 as the quarter and the 25c as the nickel? Either way it looks nice.

 

[Mortalpawn]

I could easily do either, but I’m not a huge fan of the grey chip.

These are amazing. I hope a group biy is on the horizon. Regarding pics of higher denominations. You may try youtube. Rampage poker recently had a video from Paris and I think he has some decent views of $1000 and $5000.

 

[DontKnowWhen]

FWIW I like the gray $2. Maybe pink for the nickel?

also, how about a yellow $20? Not true to the original but helpful for home games.

Nice set! Looking forward to a GB if you go that route

I wish I could find a pic of a $500 somewhere. I like sets with $500s. There is a $500 on chipguide but I think it is old/not current. Maybe Paris doesn't have a current $500!

 

[Mortalpawn]

I can probably do the $1000, $5000 (but in the modern design) based on the images you sent, but if anyone has more please post them. Does anyone have a picture of the $500.

 

[Mortalpawn]

I added the 1000 and 5000 from the rough pictures - tried to get close on the colors from the Paulson color wheel. The 500 shown here is purely fictional as I still don't have any pictures of the actual 500. Also all of these are done in the "new" style where the actual chips are still in the old style I believe.

 

[lane_robert_s]

This is a horriably blurry picture but it shows the purple 500 with 8 blue triangles.

 

[lane_robert_s]

This is also super blurry but I think those orange chips are 25k because the caption said this is a jackpot of 834,000 so the math would add up.

 

[lane_robert_s]

Rolling edges of 500, 1k, 5k and 25k.

 

[lane_robert_s]

Says baccarat. Not sure if piker chip is the same. 100k

 

[Colquhoun]

You've seen the older one from the ChipGuide, right? Colors look a little dark, though...

Here's the next iteration - have not had time to look at the 100K. Also I eventually want to go back and update the large logo version from earlier with the higher denom chips:

 

[lane_robert_s]

This may show the colors on the 500 and 5000 better.

Just noticed that the 500 only has 7 triangles. All the pictures show that it uas one spot missing.

So weird. Why design with only 7 spots that are not symmetrical?

 

[Mortalpawn]

There are some oddities in the actual chips. I think the missing 500 spot might be for security or uniqueness. The $500 and above appear to have a black outline around the denomination for the large format chips but its completely missing from the lower denominations. The 1000 and 5000 don't have commas, but it appears the 25,000 and 100,000 do. And of course the new style appears to have been done mainly for the low denom chips while retaining the older style on the higher chips.

I guess that's why its more of a "tribute" set than trying to exactly match the real set.

The comma oddity goes beyond Paris, I’ve noticed. Some casinos start using the commas with the 5k and up, some start with the 25k. Very strange.
