Edit - the latest:
I've not totally solved the "inconsistent theme" challenge and I'm not sure that will ever be 100% possible given what I'm really wanting. But I'm pretty sure the actual artwork has made some major progress.
We ended up with a cross between the original super clean chips and the inlaid but busy second draft.
Possible challenges/questions:
- Is the new 25 too busy for a 25? Obviously there's an important reason for all the colors and it became of on my favorite chips. Just not sure if the 25 has to be simpler.
- Speaking of the 25.... Would it be crazy to plan on reusing the Monopoly theme with a 25k plaque? It could be even cooler there since it could look a lot like the game board and of course... if you get a 25k.... you pretty much have a monopoly on all the chips. The only reason I may want BOTH is because I love the chip and I wouldn't want it to appear as rarely as a 25k would.
- Pink and orange too similar?
--------
Edit:
I recognize it will still need work but I'd like to think it's better.
Introduced the inlay ring and the circles of silhouettes to get something slightly consistent across them all. Still need to handle some sort of silhouettes and the denom for orange. No more edge denoms. I think the stacks should be pretty clean now but happy to hear thoughts.
--------
I've posted threads for a few of these individual chips. But now I have the mains ones somewhat built out and I want to start looking for feedback on the set as a whole.
The idea is to have a super recognizable character/icon for each chip. I want people of all ages to immediately know what they're seeing for each one.
Special thanks to @Machine for suggesting the edge numbers - it really saved me from defacing the main art.
Current thoughts/concerns:
- I used my chip stacker tool to preview possible dirty stacks. The pink+white and orange+white seem like they could cause trouble. Ideas to fix?
- Could Batman and Spongebob get dirty?
- Are any of the numbers hard to read? I actually prefer them to be subtle, but they still have to be readable.
