Heh, heh ... never really had an anarchy phase, am WAY too old to grow out of anything and don't live in New Orleans. "Rising Sun" is referring to the song and to my old nickname ("Mr. Sunshine" ... irony is fun). The "Anarchy" thing just came out of trying to think of an iconic graphic, my enjoyment of punk, and mocking my players for being a bunch of random goofs. Suggested it as a possibility for a hot stamped A-mold buy that ended up going another direction. I've got a "chaos" set idea too, but that one requires color.

I certainly think you're right in that the crown is the closest to "ready".



How dare you suggest defacing the logo of the grand and proud "LA Kings" franchise?! (Current residents of the basement in the NHL standings ...)

Thanks for your thoughts, guys.
Oh it’s for the LA Kings? Well then ... deface the hell out that!
 
Should it just be dark or dark and light.

Hmmmm...I do really like the dark. However, I did 500 dark as a cash set, 500 light as a tourney set. I like the idea of mixed light and dark. Something different at least. I’ve never seen it in a splashed pot. That would be my biggest concern, throwing the eyeballs for a loop.
 
For a poker chip, I'd consider an image of Nike/Victoria (goddess of luck) or Athena/Minerva (goddess of strategy)
Nike is the personification of Victory (her name meaning exaclty that), but still Hermes is a fine choice, being in charge of Profit (not just commerce), teacher of wile and cunningness and the protector of (among others) tricksters and thieves:LOL: :laugh:
Ancient Greeks crafted Gods incarnating Evil (a human trait) too.
 
A separate notable quote on each chip?

Actually, not a direct movie reference. ;)
These are for two office sets (1 cash/1 tourney).
The reference is to three business partners.
 
Early on in trying to figure out what to do. Intending to do a black laser print on silver polyester. Waffling on which of the following three concepts to try and improve. Welcome any comments (including "keep your day job, you suck at graphic design!").

I have a fondness for The Rising Sun. Love the song too. I worked with @chipjoker on this design. I should have these in January.

I think they turned out pretty great. Lots of applying labels in my future.

latest from @p5woody on the chip background. Each denomination has a different MD animal (thoroughbred, rockfish, diamondback turtle, oriole and crab), the text and text outlines will match the edgespots and the lines will match the chip color. my favorite are a combo of the top left and top middle on each chip. I'm really close on this, thoughts?
