Club 310 - design input requested (almost there) (1 Viewer)

[warma]

I thought I had a set locked and ready, but then I made a small change and the floodgates opened. I really like option 2 below, but I'm wondering if there's a way not to repeat colors across chips (blue, in that case). With every version I try, there's usually one chip that doesn't quite work.

Without creating a million options, which option do you like best? Would you make any changes to one?

[If you vote “A mix,” please let me know what you’re thinking.]

Colors not available: canary, light blue, light green, DG peach.

A, C, C, B

Clear winner on the 5 for me. Both fracs are great. Choose the hundo depending on which frac. Black $100 with red frac and charcoal version with RL. That’s the line I’d take anyways.

Nice set. Love the stamp.

Still appreciate any additional input.

This.

If you're considering a Charcoal base on one of the chips, mebbe check out DG Arc Yellow / Peach / Tiger / Saturn as a spot color? They should all provide nice pop with a Charcoal base

Also, personally I'd prefer DIASQR or E&C over H-Mold, but can't really articulate why I personally don't like the H-mold with the hotstamp, which I really like!

Thanks! I was originally intending to go DIASQR to match my limit set that’s in the queue. I do like the H-mold, though… Once my limit set shows, I’ll make the call between the two.

Thanks. Those have a lovely pop. I was looking at DG Arc Yellow, but realized I was heavy on yellow, which is now hereby decreed to be bad according to MrCatsPants.

A B C C is my favourite

 

[svickn]

A B C A for me

 

[warma]

Hmmmm... It seems there’s an overwhelming winner for the $5, but the 25¢ and $1 are kinds split. So I’m back to where I was.

Except… a few things magically lined up and a very kind soul is willing to help. I’ll be back with the results, which should help me solve this.

Happy to receive any additional thoughts in the meantime.

[A, B, B, C] or [A, B, C, C] for me

With time on my hand until my test runs of the 310 frac and $1 options arrive, I decided to think about fixing my Crown set. Unfortunately, @MeridianFC and @SteveEH poked the bear and got me thinking about swapping the 1/5/20 out (killing the original mixed inlay theme). So now I'm kinda torn. Not sure about the blue and orange for the J Finney set, but I'm trying to see if I can't stick with colors used in the early 60s.

 

[MeridianFC]

They all look good. Not that it matters, and not to be slavish to spot progression but I would think about making the Black or Gray 3TA16 (Red/White/Red or vice versa). It does seem like the set is progressing until that point.

I’m still undecided on that one. The split 18s pulled from yesteryear, but I’m mixed.

 

[warma]

This is both the fun and frustrating part... lots of great options. But if I finish the LCrown I think a single color spot is the way to go, as much as I like the tri-color chocolate above.

 

[MeridianFC]

What about this but your $5 is all Black spots and keep your tri color $20 since it’s the High Society of this set?

Interesting.

 

[SteveEH]

I like one color spots better.

 

[warma]

I’m playing with some options, including a yellow/green @SteveEH. I’m feeling really good about my updated $20 inlay for the mixed mold update, but it needs something.

I have my 310 club 3d14 samples arriving with my 310 club limit DiaSqr set shortly. If I don’t execute the 310 club hotstamp set, I’ll likely go lcrown inlay, unless DiaSqr excites me more than I expect.

While I really like the chocolate & light blue, light green, bright white combo, I keep returning to single color.

 

[warma]

Not yet stamped, but here are the frac and $1 options I liked best.

On the imperial blue $1:
The DG green/dark green looks good on the side, but doesn’t do anything for me from above.
The DG green/butterscotch $1 catches my eye.

On the fracs:
The retro red/DG pink looks a lot better than I expected as does the retro lavender/maroon combo. But my eye is drawn towards the two on the left.

The real issue, though… is this set vs another I’ve been working on. Argh.

It would be NL set #3 and 4… and I have only played limit since 2019! Hahahaah

Already 8 NL sets, 2 ongoing and 4 CPC projects ideas ready to go … but I play NL

 

[SteveEH]

I think DSQs are my fav mold for hot stamps, and I don't like how off center inlays can fall into the recess of the inner circle.

What's the story with J finney's?

What limit sets do you have?
