43mm no mold

I wish!

 

[FestiveKnight]

I think @QuietMaple’s flower ish is best so far. There are a bunch of geometric options already and this opens up a whole new theme direction. And seems broader than many of the other kind of more “icony” designs

 

[Dcarl]

Love the card suit and suit cluster options the most so far. Those would look great with any label design.

 

[GamingWithChips]

Ya I think there are already enough geometric options to cover many themes/designs. If another pattern is done I’d vote for something with more flow, ie flower/wave.

Otherwise, I think having poker suit pips or a house mold on 25+mm is the way to go. That would allow the whole lineup of existing molds to cover many bases in custom designs

Arodie and tell me where to send monies.

That's a good point about there already being good geometric options, although it sounds like a new mold would likely feature a 25mm inlay, so it would be offering something new in that regard.

IMO, there might be some appeal, but I can't imagine a buyer-base of 95% middle-aged males would drive a ton of demand for a flowery/delicate mold. If it looked more like a victory wreath, maybe.. option 1 would likely be closest.

Fair point. Boobs mold then?

Yeah I was thinking that too. Can give more of a Roman/Greek vibe (although I guess that's well covered by the existing Greek mold).

With the more flow-y ones I was trying to invoke a little bit of the "organic" look from the CPC Scroll mold.

I also think the flow-y/floral ones could give a sort of art-deco or Victorian vibe, which could enhance up some more design possibilities.

 

[GamingWithChips]

Ya, the more I see the leaves/flowers all I see is “different Greek”

Maybe then switch to the nautical theme with waves/ropes.

I’m still leaning towards suits/poker as it’s basically “no-theme” but works with every chip regardless because they are poker chips

Nautical w anchor would be cool but very niche. Hard to not have a suits mold…

I'm a people pleaser as you can probably tell and I have a hard time choosing favourites, but I keep posting things like:

"'A' would be nice, but so would Poker theme. 'B' and 'C' would be nice...but so would Poker theme"...haha, so I guess I should just say I prefer the poker theme and stop posting for a bit lol

 

[QuietMaple]

Ok, just one more in the more flow-y category for now:

"S-Curve" Mold
Is it a rope? a wave? a vine? a twist? a scroll? a snake? a chain? Yes.

How about Drink Smoke Gamble

If the 8 suits (one on the left) is a finalist, could I suggest we change the order to make it more 'balanced'? I would swap the spade and club.

 

[Dcarl]

Love the suits. Almost feel something similar or inspired by Ewing cpc mold would be great, without being a total rip off. Smaller suits maybe repeated 3 or 4 times (12 total suit “logos”) like the cluster on the right from photo above but a little more spaced out

 

[DrunkleWade]

I’d support reviving the mermaid mold in an updated version

Spade Heart Diamond Club is the rank of the suits highest to lowest.

Bulldog heads ftw

Cool, I’ve heard of that before, I think there’s a trick to remembering it?

Regardless, more reasons to swap the order!

I would try a cluster of 5 suits. Generally odd numbers look better.

Ascending order of strength is alphabetical. That’s how I remember.

Moons?

Reverse alphabetical. Spade hearts diamonds clubs.

 

[doublebooyah85]

Moons?

5 groups of the clusters as opposed to 4.

 

[Cratty]

Worth remembering that more recessed area = slippery.

Paulson/CPC have pretty good grip on their own and don’t need as much exposed surface area, but Tina’s IMO need more to not slide around.

Think the clusters are cool looking, but fear they will lack appropriate grip.

The oak leaf picture includes acorns. Why not just acorns. The NUTS!!!!
