1/4 Pie Chip Set Color Opinions (1 Viewer)

[Timmah]

I’m looking to make a new chip set using 1/4 pie. The set will be Weird Al themed. I’ve always been a fan since second grade (early 80’s). Each chip will have an image of Al with the denomination. I am looking for bold, in your face colors that will compliment the image. Here’s what I’ve got so far for chip colors. The demons will be for a cash and tournament set. 25c, $1, $5, $25, $100, $500, $1000, $5000, $25000. All feedback is welcomed!

These are "quarter pies"

L9 chips across the board will be pricey! Go with standard pies or maybe find another spot pattern and keep the L9 as a higher denom.

One of the problems with this edge spot is that you do not see a lot of the base color of the chip. That can be fine with a stand alone chip within a set. If you use this edge spot pattern across the entire set you will probably end up with dirty stack issues.

Thanks! it is such a fun design. I think it was some kind of sexy genius that came up with this!

I didn't want to be that guy!

Feel like I'm derailing the thread now... @Timmah I am a huge fan of 1/4 pies, if you want to bounce some ideas around you can always PM me.

@Ben8257 pm coming....

So I’m hearing that the L9 variation of the 1/4 pie was too much. Here’s the same colors with the L3 variation.

It would most likely be a ceramic hybrid like the Greek or Web mold.

Follow up question, when working in the inlays, what size should I use as a template? This is my first time creating a set by myself. In the past I hired a designer.

If you're doing hybrid Tina chips (ie ones that have a proper label), the inlay needs to be 24mm on a 39mm chip. If you're doing general ceramics then you can effectively do any size you want, but around 24mm 'looks' right too

Thank you sir. Would you suggest working on a larger size like 48mm then reducing it to 24mm, or just work with the 24mm on the computer. I’m super new to this.

I tend to start out with the chip/labels at the right size, then scale font's and logo's etc to fit.
