Caught in between these 2 designs.. All suggestions/criticism welcome.

I personally like the design on the right. The colors are more predominant against the chip and they follow a color wheel pattern. I’d definitely be interested in seeing the rest of the set!

Also, if you're a fan of the yellow/orange combo, then you might like something like this?

I prefer #7, and it's not even close. It's a $500 chip - a very powerful chip indeed. The spot pattern is reminiscent of the German flag, a very powerful nation in the EU.

 

[Mrs Poker Zombie]

I prefer the more prominent spot colors on the left.

 

[trever]

Is the one on the left supposed to mimic the German flag? Given your inlay, it makes a heck of a lot of sense.

Hard to say without seeing the set.

 

[bsdunbar1]

I prefer the one on the left as well. The green spot on the right chip looks out of place to me.

 

[Trihonda]

I also think the design greatly depends on how it meshes with the other chips in the set. Otherwise folks are providing input without all the facts.

#7.

Yes, I just don't know if it blends well with purple. I am partially color blind on Blue and Green if the shades are darker (Dark Blue vs Dark Green) seemed to be the same for me.

I don't understand the spot progression for the set. The $1 and the $5 have the same spot pattern. Then the $25, $100, $500 all progress with each having more complex patterns. But then the $1000 is the same as the $500. And the $5000 is the same as the $100.
I think spot pattern progression is all very subjective and there's no right or wrong way to do it. I'm just curious about yours.

These are all good inputs. I will play more with different spot progressions on the design tool. Thnx!

from left to right in the mock up I would choose either the 2nd or 3rd version of the $500 (3rd is my preference).
more contrast is probably better for you, plus they look better than the 1st version (aka #7)

That ain't never stopped nothin. For the record, I prefer the one in the middle.

 

[Boother36]

#7 is my preference FWIW......

How about this?

 

[upNdown]

That's actually pretty cool, and I don't think I've ever seen that done. It's like they're all 312's, but then they get more and more interesting. I like it!

Thank you for your candid advice.

Very much appreciated!(y) :thumbsupy) :thumbsup:

I don’t think the butterscotch on the edge of the edge spot of the canary yellow chip contrasts enough. Try moving it to the center of the edge spot instead of the edge.

 

[Trihonda]

From a progression standpoint I’d stick with 212 on the blue chips and 312 for the red. Otherwise these are the same. If you’re gonna have two chips with the same spots you should make them all the same imho.

 

[BGinGA]

How about this?

• Don't use duplicate colors on the $1 and $5 (either change the $1 base or the $5 spot).
• Don't use near-identical spot colors (especially using the same spot pattern) on the $500 and $1000 chips.
• Large green spot on the $5000 is butt-ugly (also matches the $25 base chip color).

Try changing the $5 spot to either white or blurple. Both are high-contrast -- white lightens up the set, and blurple darkens it. I'd also change the $5000 center spot color to peacock blue with arc yellow and dg saturn accents.

Keeping in alignment with your quasi-312 pattern, I'd swap the $5000 and $1000 chips, and then alter the canary chip to be a 3TA316-spotted $5000 (so two of each spot pattern, with the canary cherry on top).

How about this $1 $5 combo?
The 5K might still be redundant but my wife likes it because it reminds her of Burberry Purse....

Thanks again for all the inputs!

I like it alot, although @Poker Zombie will be hatin' on that $5 chip shortly.

I know its the color of CPC $5 Stock chip. I would prefer neon red and blue, but its not available. Still playing with diff colors... so far I'm happy with this set.

Thnx!

Go T2000 and T10000 instead of T$1000 and T$5000. It's the wave of the future.

I agree. That would be my next project..

I don't understand the spot progression for the set

From a progression standpoint

I don't understand why people insist on spot progression. There is no "rule" that chips must have a spot progression. For me, if I'm going to spend most of my night looking at a particular denomination, then I have no issue with having it be a higher level chip and look great to me.

Red and blue do not belong next to each other.

Go T2000 and T10000 instead of T$1000 and T$5000. It's the wave of the future.

Two thoughts - first, most people mess up counting chip stacks if you have T2000 in play, second, I just played in a tournament where we had a level the players could not post because there were no T1000 in play.

 

[Poker Zombie]

No, it's not.

It increases the demand for more T500 chips, which makes the set more expensive. It also leads to errors in betting, as people are used to T1000, not T2000. Also, having large stacks of T500s means slower counting of stacks, as people like to pile T500s into stacks of 2 and count up by 1000s.

Also, I prefer the Orange T5000 over the T1000. T5Xs belong in the red spectrum. T5 Red, T500 Red+Blue (Purple) T5000 Pink or Orange (both derivatives of Red).

Your chips, your choice, but food for thought.
