Fred's Poker Club - Redesigned - Feedback welcome (4 Viewers)

[StefPoker]

Hello and thank you for the previous feedback. I used the ChipMatic tool to redesign the chips. That tool is awesome. Great job!
I also redesigned the center pieces, went for a more "luxury" look. Let me know what you guys think!

Asked ChatGPT to show me the chips on a green felt, and then show me a huge pot... There are some errors in the copies, but overall I love the results...

 

[CardRally]

I like your colors and edge spots for each chip on its own. And I like the luxury feel too.
As a set, typically you will see all the same edge spots, or a progression from simple to complex. You have creative freedom to do what you like, but it is a little curious to have the same spots for four denominations, and then change it for the last two. I really liked your edge spots progression in your first mockup.
Alternatively, you could do all the same spots. Using that idea, I tweaked some colors to avoid the same (or nearly same) color on consecutive chips.

 

[BKisback]

Yeah, mix the spots up. Also, I don't like the "chip within a chip" design. If you ditch the internal chip image, your logo/wording and denomination would be much easier to read. I like the color combos a lot!

 

[JZPdub]

On the label, consider color matching with the color of the chips. You have a lot of elements on your label; making them blend in with the rest of the chip may make it feel a little cleaner. For instance, the 'spots' on your chip design and the suits all lend themselves to color matching.

 

[StefPoker]

Thank you very much for the feedback. So either go with consistent spots, or a progression, not both. That makes sense.
I will also try to get rid of the "chip within a chip", and see how that looks.
And yes I will try to find a way to match the inlay with each individual chip color or spots.

Agreed with this. I would try cropping the inlay down to something like this:

The yellow dots on the label make me wanna look away or claw my eyes out

 

[StefPoker]

Absolutely, this is my new version. Working on the others...

Yellow dots?

Spot progression, and especially "more complex chips on higher denominations" is 100% a fabrication crated by chippers.

Look at many casinos (say, using the ChipGuide) and you'll see higher and even very high denomination chips don't do this.

Low value chips ($1 and $5s) might follow this, and it's likely because those high-volume and heavy-use, high wear chips cost more to make and replace.


I've long been a proponent of "most complicated spots on the workhorse chips and ones that are on the felt the most", but with ceramics, you can do whatever as there's no upcharge for more complex spots.

Yellow dots?

Maybe white the dash like things around the out side of the label

 

[QuietMaple]

I actually much preferred the art direction of the inlays in your first thread. These look quite generic, like... like AI generated them
The arcade theme was interesting. You can try using your original image to help prompt the LLM to get something more original.

You are right. Within a chip set, edge spots don’t strictly progress, but in general they do trend toward complexity.

On chipguide, is a chip like this more likely to be low value or high value?

Is a chip like this more likely to be low value or high value?

This idea wasn’t created by chippers.
Here is a typical early Atlantic City set;

I love your idea of making your workhorse a star by making it more complex.
But part of what makes the Grand Casino $1 and the Indiana Grand $5 so cool, is that they are an exception to this established norm.

I agree with you about the first design being better, but unfortunately Fred doesn't... lol
I'll keep working on the inlays, try to make it more "arcade chic", which would fit perfectly with his new man cave... He did buy 2 pinball machine (Mandolorian!!) and 2 arcade machines...
And the spot patterns, I understand the general idea. Have more variance, or more consistency, but right now I was stuck in the no man's land.
Thanks again guys!

Best of both worlds?

 

[StefPoker]

How do you export a design created in Chipmatic Studio, and send it to Tina? Do I have to go through the group purchase? I was thinking about contacting Tina directly.

 

[QuietMaple]

I really like the neon lettering, I think it's a big improvement! To my eye, the gold/metallic look of "Fred's" doesn't feel totally harmonious with the neon text though. I might try tweaking it a bit, although TBH I'm not totally sure which direction to take it

 

[StefPoker]

Here's a (almost) final version, pending approval. Still need to tweek the background colors and the font size a bit for consistency. Very happy with the results...
Feedback welcome, as always.

Center the denomination of the chip, and use a smaller font for the dollar or cent symbol offset to the side.
