Caesars Hangover (Caesars Palace Tributes) (1 Viewer)

[chkyrslf]

I have always loved movies (and poker) and like to idea of incorporating a movie theme into a poker chip where it complements.

I decided to have a play around with a Caesars Palace tribute set based on the below original lineup and tied in the movie The Hangover.

I also attempted to rough up the edge spots for the usual clay imperfections and some minor compression splits on the edges (would randomize these more prior to any printing).

Let me know what you think

Original Lineup:

V1 with Caesars mold replicated (printed) on cards mold:

V2 on cards mold (no Caesar mold printed):

I might take the unnecessary denoms ($2, $10) and tweak to make micro cash (5c, 25c), or a T25 base tourney set with higher denoms...

Love this but the denom font needs a rework.

Love this but the denom font needs a rework.

You mean increase the spacing or an entirely new font?

I tried to copy the exact font, but I can see now that the numbers are bunched in quite tight to each other.

I like the tribute!!!

Agreed the denoms are a bit scrunched, but that should be a relatively easy substitute to put in play.

FYI, the $100 from CP has a black base. The image you have from the Chip Guide is an image that's quite gray. I like the idea of a charcoal base hundred, but if you are going to make the $10, I'd worry those could easily cause dirty stack issues despite the different edge spots.

Curious to see where you wind up with this. The current CP rack, particularly with the larger inlays, is one of my favorites.

Have you thought about Caesars mold on a plain mold? I believe Tina and all offer that.

God dammit I suck for not thinking of this

You know what, it never even crossed my mind

That is a good idea. I do like the molds having some recesses/indents in them, but it might look a bit busy with a real mold and fake mold.

Is anyone aware of ceramics with 'fake' molds replicated in print and if any look good at all?

Oh yes, I have seen @Pippa 's Aria copy on blank ceramics! Forgot about that.

 

[FickieRowler]

Love it! If a group buy comes to fruition, count me in

I’m so depressed… movie sets are my thing!

Combo of both?

The Wolfpack's Den?

The Wolfpack's Den?

If I had different inlays, that would make a good one - silhouette of the 4 of them on the roof. Wolfpack!

 

[Felt_Lizard]

Maybe remove the Galafanakis head and replace it with a tiger graphic?

The tiger being maybe a better reference to the movie and to Caesars?

Great idea!...Seems like the denom font, while accurate is a little to heavy and bold. Also some excessive white space that maybe a deeper richer gold could help out with. Also, consider implementing a bolder/heavier faux inlay border effect. With my upcoming project, I pivoted to a more natural/off white for the inlay color too but I am also trying to convey a retro vibe with my set.
