310 Club - Design Input Sought (1 Viewer)

[warma]

Would live your feedback on a few design choices. For this set, I've been inspired to build an illegal club hot stamp set. It will consist of two parts, an inlay non-denom 1/2 limit chip and a Cali 3916 spot .25/1/5/20/100 cash component (with the cash chip serving as the value chip for the limit set, likely the $5 or the $20).

Where I could use your help is the following: the frac, 1, and 5. The 1/2 pie, $20, and $100 are locked; the limit inlay is locked; and the hot stamp is in progress.

Conceptually, one option looks like this:

Options are as below, poll allows up to 3 choices- ideally one for each denom. (Obviously, I won't go green or yellow on every chip.)

Pink: 1 Green / 2 Gray / 3 Red

Imperial Blue: 1 Yellow, 2 Light Green, 3 Red

Orange: 1 Canary, 2 Light Green, 3 Dark Green

Thanks.

Can you put the mockups on a grey background as the green throws off how we perceive the colours.

Is the half pie the non denom chip?

Yeah, the eternal background struggle. At least I avoided the pea soup color. I play on green felt, not a bright gray surface, so I feel the green is actually a better choice.

Yes, the 1/2PIE is the non-denim chip.

Gray/Dayglo Pink is awesome and I've got a quarter pie planned in my dream set.

The only one I’d definitively rule out is the imperial blue / yellow $1. Too similar to the non-denom colors for me. A secondary concern is that regular pink is not nearly as bright/vibrant as it appears on the design tool. If you have color samples and chose regular pink, that’s one thing, but if you don’t have samples, I would get some before you commit to that color. Similar story for orange, IMO.

As presented, I’m going pink/grey, imperial blue/red, orange/light green, but orange/dark green is a very close second.

I have samples, thanks. Huge advocate there. Some of these colors are a bit fall-ish by design- the orange and imp blue.

We think alike. I like the imp/yellow, I didn’t think I would, but it keeps me coming back for another look. And yes, while they will never be on the table together, it might still cause confusion.

Thanks. I appreciate the comments that help make me think.

If you’re sure the two blue/yellow chips would never be in play at the same time, I think I’d lean toward pink/grey, imp blue/yellow, orange / light green. If the $5 is potentially in play as a limit chip with the non-denom, I wouldn’t want canary on both chips.

The 1/2 would be 25¢ to $1. So the value chips would be either the $5 or the $20. Having the canary twice (1/2PIE and $5) isn’t ideal as you note.
