Matsui cash set -- Emerald Bay Club (2 Viewers)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Morning (evening for most of you) prospective Matsui GB participants.

We noticed that not too many people indicated much interest in the thread for the secondary $5 with beige spots (plus I hate it :p) so I've talked it over with my illustrious leader and she has agreed that we should consider switching it. We thought it would be good to open it up for comment and see what the groups thoughts are on the switch.

This is the current secondary 5

This is what we propose switching it for

Though in reality the base is this neon orange below. (same as we propose for the cali frac) it's just not possible to mockup the bright colours in the design tool. Stupid matsui.

This opens up some nice options

And can we even get the endorsement of the slugged chip hating master himself @BGinGA. If not, Id be happy to hear one of your patented brutally honest posts. Everyone else has to be nice though.

Yep, still open to some small changes. But soon, the order thread will be posted, and design will be "final". So if you have a gripe, and you're a buyer...let it be heard. Mostly want to hear about this red vs. orange $5 decision.

@asam2006, we are aware of your feedback on the yellow $5, :)
 
If you’re gonna do a orange 5iver then make the spot lemon yellow. It’ll be the best orange lager in the world... probably.

Would could try to work yellow into every chip! LOL. Just kidding. Will consider.

As a standalone chip that would be awesome, but it would clash hard with the yellow 1 and I think it would be cool to have a yellow 1 and orange 5 combo as an option.

For reference here is lemon yellow on top and our proposed dandelion yellow spot below

Good point. Some contrast to the orange might be nice. Maybe a navy blue, black, or grey? But ultimately I leave it to the experts, you all are doing great. Thanks for the effort.
 
I really like the secondary $5 and was planning to include it if I ordered. I find there's a lot of yellow in this set already and this secondary $5 offset that nicely. I'm still on the fence on ordering however so take my feedback with some salt n stuff. I dislike the orange chip with all this yellow. Having said that, I'd still grab a set even if this chip was left out.

You’re British, right? So you’ll understand this: “Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements”

NOT oranges and dandelions...

Hahaha nursery rhymes arent the optimal method for chip design

If ^this^this means that I can now get these Mapes/Money Tree-like tribute color combos:
  • lavender 25c (3-spot, pictured below as 25c)
  • yellow $1 (2-color 6-moons, pictured below as $20)
  • orange $5 (9-dot, pictured above, sorta)
  • black $20 (3-color 6-spot, pictured below as $100)
  • white $100 (3-color 6-moons, pictured below as $100)
Then I'm on-board, even if I have to relabel two of the chips. Can't stand the plain-jane standard $1 pattern you guys chose.

I'd prefer more contrast on both the lavender and orange chips, but beggars yada yada......

Well that would certainly be doable, all of those chips are on offer.

In case you hadn't seen it, that's roughly what the lavender frac looks like on the sample kit (the non-bright kit anyway)

The contrast on the orange chip should be greater in reality than the mockup tool suggests (hopefully)

Ah man, and the yellow $1 was added specifically for YOU. Too bad it disappointed. Glad you found something that works.
 
I'm still in for a set. I had the same worries as BG about the purple frac until I saw the live sample image--just posted again--posted earlier in the thread. In those it looks good to me, and I trust your guys' judgement who have it in hand. The only minor thing I was a bit bummed about was the change of the third spot on the green $25. I liked the darker one, but still not sure which $25 I'm going to order and it won't affect my decision in the end anyways.

All said, I'm really happy with the work you guys have done so far and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on these.

(and maybe the lighter spot on the green $25 looks better anyways. Tough to tell in the mock-ups)

The planned chip is in this photo:

If we replace the dark spot with black, it looks like this, better?? ( my dog ate the super dark green, so black has to be a temp-substitute....damn dog!)
