Big10 CPC Design (2 Viewers)

[TKEUofM]

After multiple iterations and feedback from the forum, I've updated my Michigan themed CPC set. Originally I had all edge spots maize and blue, someone suggested a Big10 theme but keep the M logo in the middle to tie the Michigan theme across the set. And I also have players in my group that represent multiple schools, so here is my update:

$0.25 and $1 - Michigan Maize and Blue Theme
$5 - Indiana/Wisconsin/Nebraska/Rutgers
$25 - Michigan State
$100 - Iowa
$500 - Northwestern
$1,000 - Ohio State (as painful as it is to do)
$5,000 - Illinois

Other option would be to boot out Ohio State and replace with a Maryland $1,000.

Thoughts? Further feedback? Thanks!

Error on the $5 Chip
That is CLEARLY a NEBRASKA chip

Cool idea. Love it.

I know what you’re up to.

 

[TKEUofM]

Just realized I should use the "B" Mold since that would tie to Big10.

lol.... he's trying to bump Iowa out....

Fixed the original post... Looks like red and white can cover a lot of the Big10

No
I'm not an ohio fan either but that color scheme on the 1k looks good.

Edit: They all look good. Nice design and execution

You may consider matching color of M letter with chip.

Nebraskans hate Iowa because they can’t beat us.

 

[bsdunbar1]

Don't short change us by thinking there is only 1 reason.

Hahaha just messing with you, I missed the note where you were keeping that hideous "M" across the board.

I like the concept, having gone to school out in the mid-west, I have a lot of love for the big 10, it's a great football conference. The main concern I'd have with the lineup is the quarter and $100, those two color combos are going to be indistinguishable on the table, even in good lighting.

$0.25, $1, and $5 would be for cash games. $25-$5,000 for tournament. Our cash games are never big enough to ever need a $100 chip in play.

Since you still have un represented teams you could always add a $20 to top end your cash set. If the game ever grows you’ll be happy to have it.

Switch your 0.25 and 1, make yellow quarters and #TeamBlueDollar

And screw Ohio State, Make Illinois your orange 1000, and do Minnesota Maroon for 5000. (Not that I am a Gopher lover, despite my residence.)

 

[redeagle]

I also like the maize frac and the blue dollar.

Are you not concerned about dirty stacks with the 25c and $1 at all?!?

using the same exact 2 colors next to each is not going to go well.

If you really have your heart set on both of those chips being Michigan colors, take some liberty with the shade of blue and yellow for 1 of them. And use a different spot pattern. Something with different size/number of spots.

a set that is going to be used needs to function first, look good second.

make yellow quarters

Sorry, I meant "Maize"

Doooood!!! There ain’t no yellow there. It’s Maize!

[TKEUofM]

Ok, here are some changes. Not sure about the Maroon, might be too close to the black. I have a color sample so I'll have to see.

Frac and $1 swapped. And thinner edge spots on the frac.

Illinois switched to $1,000

Minnesota $5k

 

[Coyote]

I like the set as you presented it in post #6, with the very welcome adaptation of the frac to 418 spot style (in spot #23).
I would also advise against using the Canary again (actually, for the third time in this set) on the hundo; I 'd try something with light blue and DG Yellow there.

You may consider matching color of M letter with chip.

Or the outline

(Jk, this is a fun set - can’t wait to see how it turns out!)

Really you should move the Buckeyes down the line to the $5000 denomination. Five years from now it’ll fit

Not sure how a dirty stack would happen, one is a dark blue chip and the other is a yellow chip. With small pattern edge spots I think it would be very obvious what the primary color of the chip is.

Only issue is that I'm trying to represent College Football team colors. Unfortunately there is a lot of repeating colors and limited color options on the CPC designer.

I'm really surprised Ohio fans can count that high!

And thanks for reiterating that I should blow the Ohio chip out of the lineup. lol
