Over the weeks and months I've been collecting pics of chips that I like for one or more reason.

These fall into two categories, broadly:
  1. base/spot color combos that work nicely together; and
  2. inlay or stamp designs I dig
Knowing me, I'll prolly lose the device(s) the pics are stored on, so I thought it'd be fun to post the pics here for reference. Some might provide inspiration for member custom designs, including my next set ;)

Please post your own!

To kick things off, in the category of nice or interesting inlay/stamp design... These are chips that I think do a good job of filling the circular space, in no order.

I'm not suggesting that these represent perfection but most have elements that are pleasing to my eye. I'd prolly change things about some of them, e.g. color contrast levels and text size for readability...

For the "Flamingo classic", a personal favorite and that heavily influenced my recent Black Cat cash set, I'd not realized that Marlow had done a promo chip version of one of the designs. :)

I'm on the fence about the Even Stevens. I like how the design fills the space but I'm not crazy about its Miami Vice stylings.

..and a few more color combos. There's some duplication where similar colors appear, in some cases where the spot pattern is different. Or where I've been too lazy to de-dupe.

And some chips fall into both cats.

Awesome idea Toby :)

Colours for me, for starters (I know the WSOP chip is a copy, but couldn't find the original)

The colors on tht Aria 500 chip are very tasty!
They almost burn your retina. The resson for the GN 1000 is because of years of watching High Stakes Poker and it really grew on me.
 
DAMN I wish I had looked back at this thread before the "best inlay of all time" nomination thread. This might be my favorite inlay ever. What a beaut.

I did look back on this thread and neglected to put that one forward. What a doofus!!

It's a cracker, really dig it.
