Hey guys,

I’ve acquired half of my beneeded A-mold chips ($5’s & $25’s) but thought I should design the labels to put on already.
Please let me know if you think there should be adjustments! Looking for honest feedback

 

[SwissChip]

Give a red denom a try!

 

[mipevi]

Print to size and see how the details look.

 

[BKisback]

^I second this. It's a pretty small area, and complexities are sometimes lost.

 

[BKisback]

Very cool design though!

 

[Timportant19]

Give a red denom a try!

Did in a previous design. Will try it with this one tomorrow, good one!

 

[suchj0sh]

Red looks great, but I’m a sucker for red denoms. Rest of the design looks great to me.

 

[SteveEH]

Center the denomination without the currency symbol, and use a smaller font for the currency symbol.

Yep.

The graphic has a lot of detail, it might be hard to see in real life. Try zooming out on your screen until the image is about 1" and see how it looks. If you can print it to 100% scale, then that's ideal.

I would also try to have the arc of the text closer to arc of the inlay.

 

[FestiveKnight]

There’s also some great details for color matching.

I also wonder about using this “dead space” for the denom instead of having it stand alone below which would let you expand the entire graphic

Wat fantastisch voetbal van ons oranje gisteren!

 

[suchj0sh]

I’m surprised to hear people saying this design is potentially too detailed. Even for a 1” inlay? It doesn’t strike me as that finely detailed.

 

[Timportant19]

Testing….

 

[suchj0sh]

Text seems a little small on the physical samples, but I like the direction. Red denom is the way.

I'd go for the empty space on right with the red denom. Utilize the space and free the bottom area. Otherwise legit!!!

 

[GamingWithChips]

I agree with @FestiveKnight

Especially in the label above, the "5" looks almost like an after thought and squished at the bottom. I'd remove of the the housing sections, move the whole scene a little to the left and add the denoms on the right

 

[w00zie]

I can recommend @mattross1313 if you need help finishing the design!

Question: Why did you put the € symbol before the number? The correct way to write it is 5€ - I'm sure you know that, that's why I'm asking

Like this?
Feels like everything is off a bit but yeah, you’re probably right.
The details need to be a bit less on the houses and the text bigger / bolder probably.

Haha, I know! But I prefer €25 first….
And I didn’t know @mattross1313 you we’re a design wizard

 

[GamingWithChips]

Definitely no right or wrong in design!

But my preference would be to balance it out a little, using the tower near center, then the buildings and denoms to offset eachother

Ex:

 

[dizzyChipper]

Center the denomination without the currency symbol, and use a smaller font for the currency symbol.

I mean yeah this looks great to me.

Like the changes shown here. Consider removing the thin lines inside all the windows. That way the white windows will be more white and the black more black. The thin lines (although accurate and detailed) dirty up the windows when printed. Love the design!!

 

[FestiveKnight]

Now you’re getting somewhere! I’d just keep messing with space and proportion. The goal should be the denom and thematic image complimenting each other proportionally, not competing for space and attention.

Here are some examples from the HoF stump thread that are what I mean. Check out the thread, great inspo.

I'll throw in @MarquetteMonkey 's Tip Top Club. Love the theming, vintage vibe, color-matched inlays, and unique colorways & spot patterns (e.g. his $5).

Many thanks @JMC9389 for the nomination!

I appreciate!! Since someone already stumped for my Puffin set, I like to add some pictures in this thread.
