Design idea is the nuts (every pun fully intended).
Wonder if there is a way to take Gear’s recommendations and still execute this well for print.
Stay with it.
Really digging this!Larger suits in the NUTS lettering. No crazy artistic effects going on. Denominations white. Removed "CASINO" and added "the" in the title.

Yes, I think the nut itself is sufficientDid you decide against the color matched denominations?
Thanks, so am I. I think the top of the acorn needs to be tweaked (maybe I will remove the base color and just put the edge spot colors in the top section), and the spacing inside of a circle needs to be tweaked, as well. But the general idea, I really like.Really digging this!
Brace yourself. Seriously.These are cool af. Could you share a bit about your process? I've been dipping a toe in Inkscape recently.
You can't just say something like that without details.Brace yourself. Seriously.
I did this in Excel and MS Paint. I wasn’t kidding when I said I’m not a graphic artist.
Ok, I found the squirrel on google. I’m sure I violated some copyright but whatever. Opened it in MS Paint 3D and used the paint bucket option to fill in the acorn with the colors I wanted. Then did some sort of special selection (forget what it’s called exactly) so that I could copy just the outline of the squirrel (not any background) and then pasted it in Excel. Did that for all 10 Royal chip colors. I’m sure the colors aren’t exact ... I just eyeballed it ... but it’s good enough for government work.You can't just say something like that without details.
Huh. I'm impressed.Ok, I found the squirrel on google. I’m sure I violated some copyright but whatever.

Then it’s a little bit of experimenting with fonts to get it how I want. I used MS Paint to cut and paste the poker suits, which I also lifted from a google search.
When everything is how I want it, I just copy the whole thing in Excel and paste it in MS Paint, then save it as a jpg file. Easy peasy.
I do like that idea. Think I need to save space vertically, so might remove the “Las Vegas” from under “nuts” and try to curve it under the squirrel from just right of his feet around the bushy part of the tail. Will remove the “the” as well.Wow, quick update! Looking good.
Don’t know if it would throw it off or even be worth it, but what about color matching the squirrel’s eye too? Just spitballing...
Definitely need to save some space if these are going to be labels. Maybe squirrel + denom on one side then text + denom on the reverse side?I do like that idea.

Got a busy night tonight, so prob won’t get a chance to do anything until tomorrow.
I do like two sided chips. Good idea.Definitely need to save some space if these are going to be labels. Maybe squirrel + denom on one side then text + denom on the reverse side?
Oh I have plenty of Jack's and those tilt me a little too!
