Bucknuts - tourney set (1 Viewer)

[ohio3302016]

So I've decided to take the Buckeye theme from a cash set to a tourney set.

Interested in thoughts on this mock-up...

(I will try and not get my jimmies rustled)

Inlay designs: @Quicksilver-75

I think the set is making more sense as a tournament set. I'm wondering how a watermark on the front inlay would work. Either a buckeye leaf or block O, very faint.

Three Brutus's see like a lot. How about making one of them something else? Maybe based off Script Ohio, Ohio Stadium or a helmet?

I agree on the Brutus overload. Like the script Ohio suggestion a lot.

I'm not sure whether a solid curve like this or individual dots would look better. Probably something like this, given the size, cut down to just the "Ohio".

Or maybe something like this (with the state included)...

Yup, could be cool too. The text shape on that example doesn't match the band drill though (something that bugged me with a lot of the google results).

Please consider using this art for the 1000:



The Ohio text in the mockup is much more license plate than TBDBITL. I can send the .svg to @Quicksilver-75 if he sends me a PM.

Sure. I'd be willing to check that out. Thx!

I like the idea of a watermark of some kind.. save brutus for a bounty chip

Slight tweak. Light green 25...

Light green is one of my favorite CPC colors. I really like your color choices.

Thanks. Feel like it provides more contrast with the charcoal 100 too.

You have a color sample set?

 

[72o]

I'd be a little worried maybe with the red and chocolate. Might try butterscotch instead of chocolate if want to keep in the brown family.

I do.

Yeah. Still mulling it over. Chocolate / charcoal may be a contrast issue as well.

 

[ohio3302016]

Thinking about light chocolate for the T5000 chip (the butterscotch just doesn't look right to my eyes). Also still debating using gray instead of charcoal. I love that charcoal CPC color and the gray tends to blend into my felt but contrast may be an issue with the charcoal.

Life is good when the first thing you think about when getting to work is "what should I do about the colors of my chips?" lol.

Here's a version with a watermark...

Albeit very light. At 15% opacity. I could strengthen the WM but find the red conflicts with the denom. I could just make the WM black so it appears grey but then it's not the Ohio O.....whatever you want to do. Maybe an extra 5-8% won't hurt..

Right now I'm leaning toward no WM. But I'd be open to seeing it a bit different (doesn't have to be red either).

What about a buckeye leaf watermark in green?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Yeah. I tried it early on and found faded it resembles a marijuana leaf..BIG TIME. At the moment I'm trying something "outside the box" we'll see if it works.
