Hi all,
I was working on a Pharaoh Tribute in an Armenian theme (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ibute-armenia-theme.61060/page-2#post-1201284) but I have since fallen out of love with the idea.
I want to create a sort of "branding" with my set, as many of you guys have (eventually getting a custom felt/cut cards/etc)
I have a few other ideas for what will ultimately become an heirloom tournament set:
1) The Prancing Pony (A tavern in Lord of the Rings - bonus is that HHR would fit very well)
2) Three Kings Card Room (reference to the 3 kings of blues, my musical passion + double meaning with poker trip kings - bonus scrown mold would work well)
3) Globe Head Card Room (an inside joke between my friends that dates back to High School Days)
4) Little Wing Card Room (Jimi Hendrix song)
5) Fhloston Paradise (The Fifth Element Reference)
6) Milliways Card Room (Hitchhiker's Guide reference - name of the "restaurant at the end of the universe" - mine would be "casino at the end of the universe" - thank you to @BSteck for this idea)
So far, number 3 is my favorite. It's a nice throw back with my crew and I feel like with the help of a designer, I can come up with a classy retro looking inlay. I also like it because it doesn't take itself too seriously and is a little goofy/fun.
This is a lot, I know, but as the days go on I find that some of these I begin to like more than others. I am sure that soon enough I will land on a final theme.
However, I feel like I am very close to the color/edge spot designs I like (and are reasonable within my budget)
This is just a thread to slowly document my progress and thought processes.
Feel free to chime in with thoughts/feedback/ideas.
Thanks everyone for an awesome experience on this forum! I hope to soon place my first order with CPC!
