I am really overwhelmed with the response! Thank you everyone for the input, very much appreciated!
Most of the feedback concerns denomination: I will be using these chips more for casino-style card games, rather than poker games, hence the denominations and colours resemble closer to those in casino than cash/ tourney chips for poker.
It is not to say that the chips won't be used to play poker, but most of my friends are used to casino chips and their denominations. The 10s are unlikely to go on the poker table, but it will be useful for my regular card games
p.s. I am not running a casino! We just play a lot of cards!
Hi and welcome to the site!
I assume this set is for tournament play? I see you are in Asia so I'm not sure about denominations. If you tell us a bit more about the application of the set that will help.
One piece of feedback I can offer is that denominations of 10 and 10,000 are not typically used. Typical tournament denominations are as follows:
25/100/500/1000/5000/25000 (and sometimes 5)
Or
25/100/500/2000/10000/50000 (used less often than above)
You're sure to get lots of good advice on design and breakdown here!
Yes, and I am really thankful for the advice!
As mentioned, they will be primarily for table card games, 10/25/100/500 for smaller games and 100/500/1000/5000/10000 for higher limits. Asians generally prefer luck-based rather than skill-based games, hence we don't play poker that often!
I feel like the inlay has too much white space on it. Personally I'd make the denomination bold font and probably remove the commas in the higher denoms. My first instinct was that the set would work on the smaller inlay. I'm liking the spot design, but not sure about the colors that repeat in some chips. Also have you considered the circle-square mold? Not sure if there is any theme connection to the A-mold but personally I'd go with csq mold despite that mold feeling less textured and more smooth, I love the feel and look of csq.
I will surely look into this! I chose the A-mold because it is the initial of my first name
Couple things that jump out at me is the 1000 and 5000 chip are too close in color. Sharing. Color on 2 chips next to each other in denomination is never a good idea, on top of that blue and green can get confused easily in low light.
Is the inlay just a place holder for now? If not I recommend working with a designer. There is a lot of empty space you can be using up. And I would go with a 7/8” inlay as well since you aren’t using the whole inlay for some dramatic art work let the clay be seen!!
Look for some interesting fonts possibly. The font can give a set a lot of character when you are trying to keep the design more simple.
Well noted on the 1000 and 5000 chip. Personally I feel the same, and thought I would ask here to see if it was just me who thought so! If there's any suggestion to that I would be really thankful!
I am considering working with a designer, this is just a mockup of what I feel I want. There's no dramatic artwork, and I will rethink about using a 7/8" inlay, thanks!
