Dealer button design (1 Viewer)

[T_Chan]

Looking to buy a batch of 60mm buttons from OWPS. Seen a lot of good examples but I could use some feedback for the design.

What I've come up with so far. I don't want too much clutter, KISS right?

Nice swag for your business. Keep it simple as to not crowd your logo. Keeping the branding whole is great for establishing and growing a brand!

My 2c... While I love the Art Deco type font, I don't think it really jives with the more organic flow of your business logo. Maybe more like the chip in your avitar?

Why not keep the logo consistant with you avatar and your webpage? This provides a consistent message and helps strengthen your brand.

If the way the logo shows on your website is correct use it. If it changed to the wording on the bottom then perhaps change the logo on the website.

This would be my critique while wearing my marketing hat. Also make sure the logo stands out more than the words Dealer. I am okay with a difference in the font but it should be more subdued compared to the fonts in your logo as to not draw attention away from your logo.

Is this your current logo?

Dealer McDealerface.

My current logo is the top portion, the Chanman Poker (maple leaf) Tables. The "& more" is often swapped out with "Inc." or "& Rentals" depending on who the promo item is targeting.

That version looks more integrated to me.

I am liking the look of this one except no McDealerface of course. I like that you made the font size of "Dealer" about the same size or just slightly smaller than "Poker Tables". Now the Logo is the first thing that draws the eyes and not the word "Dealer". ChanMan is now more prominent and I like it!

What if you did an all black edge and black border on the face about to where the contour lines are, lose the 'DEALER' on the face, and just have an alternating 'DEALER'. On the rolling edge in white(cream?). So the only thing on the face is your logo, there's not going to be any mistaking what the buttons for...

On the rolling edge you probably want to flip the word "Dealer" 1/2 the time. So that there isn't an UP side and a DOWN side.

I like having Dealer in the face.

I am thinking heavier border, may have to drop the 'Inc." to the next line or remove altogether(?). Also make the rolliing edge black with white or cream script.


gimme a sec I'll find a button I am thinking of......be right back

That looks nice but do another with the word "Dealer" on the face just a bit smaller. With the outline which looks good but I think that and dealer pulls the eye to the edges

Yes the eye is pulled back towards the center with that small change.

 

[RowdyRawhide]

This horseshoe is the one I was thinking of..obviously your logo in the middle but below are a few more ideas

looking at the Aces, Terribles, and Bennies with black borders

just remembered one more style......TBC

 

[RowdyRawhide]

never mind found it but looks similar to your first one

liking where this one is headed

I'm not a far at all of having "Dealer" twice on each side... certainly no need to have any text on the face that is upside down to the logo.

Looking at it I would agree now. What you could do is do the "Dealer" on the bottom facing the same direction as the logo and then you can push the logo up a bit with the words" "Poker tables" closer to center but not in the center. It helps fill the top and balance the chip from top to bottom.

Major design note: a black outer ring that goes all the way to the edge will not look good unless the rolling edge is also black, as it will bleed from the face over to the edge. Look at all of the example buttons in post #24 -- they all have the same-color transition from edge to face, for a reason.
