El Portal Design Mock-up Poll (1 Viewer)

[AZBOARDER13]

Hello all,
I am finalizing a set for a CPC order, but have run into the plague of the Second Guessing.

I don't want to add the back story yet for each of the versions as I do not want to sway any votes. I believe part of the reason I am having a hard time is because of the story and/ or bias connections so am looking for objective feedback on which you al think work the best.

Details I will provide are it is a somewhat southwest themed set with a somewhat old school inlay design. Set name is from the hotel my wife and I got married at in Sedona, but there are references to all of AZ throughout the set design/ choices.

Denominations will be .05, .25, 1, 5, 20

Would love feedback on any/ all choices, as well as open to alternatives. If I do pick one of your suggested design ideas I will send a sample set your way upon completion.

Thanks for viewing!

I've voted number 4, but I've change for number 1. I like the spot progress, but I don't agree with the colors you have chosen. Too many Dg colors for my taste

2 with the blue from 3.

Pro tip: You can also uncheck the “show both sides” if you’re not using a different inlay in the reverse side. Tightens up the image and takes less space.

I like parts to all, but dig 4 the most

May be onto something with the suggestion. I do really love a tiger based chip though so am concerned I would miss having it.

Also- single-sided mockup is def the way to go. Will have 2 sided inlay eventually, but not necessary for these mockups

Peach, Arc Yellow, and Tiger make for interesting bases. I would be worried about the Tiger/DG Pink base combo- they’re closer in color than it seems.

Thanks for sharing! Without a color sample it certainly wouldn't seem like it. Unfortunately it looks even closer from the side, and these are the two I have the hardest time figuring out a replacement that I like for, but that was 100% the reason to start messing with the design again

Samples are your friend, here!

Oh yeah... get a color sample. It will very likely affect your final decision.

I've got one, and with all the variations I put together on my desk everyday, it may make things worse... haha

Here’s DG arc yellow on the left and DG peach on the right.

Agreed also... DG Tiger base on the left and DG Pink base on the right and each has one chip intermingled. If not for the spot colours it would be hard to tell these apart from across a table:

Thank you! Was really struggling if I would be happy with stacks of peach. I don't think I will after this picture, for this particular set anyway. For clarification, stacks of peach look amazing, just not the feel I was going for

IMO, DG Peach is the best “orange” chip CPC offers.

I get that. I received my sample set of @Rbonus012 Castaway Casino and absolutely love the peach 5k! The brightness is fantastic!
I know I'm in the minority, but if I had to pick one, for me there's something about the saturated orange of Tiger that does it for me. The dirty stack issues have been an interesting challenge though...

Them's fightin' words...

Actually I love all the DG orange shades... would use them all as bases if I could.

You all are the best. Finally convinced me to ditch the dg pink which was a tough bridge to cross, but I couldn't not go with Tiger I don't think

 

[AZBOARDER13]

Of course I have 6 new mock-up options to beat my head against a wall about now...

Maybe a President Casino on the Admiral tribute chip? Colors would really pop.

 

[AZBOARDER13]

That does look great! Not sure it would work for me/ where I want the tiger chip in the set from a progression standpoint. Can def see myself using this in the eventual accompanying tourney set...
