I actually like this a lot better. It doesn't set off my, "it's a trap!" instinct. If you can brighten the moon a little and find a version you'd be happy with, I think it's better than the all-black or the charcoal.

Of course, in the end, what really matters is that you're happy with it.

The idea with the gas lamp is certainly interesting but I think I still prefer the original.

Do you think I should go with some version of this street lamp design as side B, with the moon as side A? Or just use the moon for both sides.
 
I'd like to see some other people's feelings on it. I think the first one is great but this one is pretty good too.
 
I really like the street lamp design also... However, the half-moon was what tied the cardroom name with the design imo... I believe the two designs are too similar to be used together one on each side, but again, just my 2¢...

Just a thought, and it could look bad, idk, but you could have a smallish half-moon NE of the man's head included in the lamp design... Just for giggles...

Something similar to this maybe? The moon could be a bit bigger and on a slightly different location of course... I did NOT play around with...

Maybe people are getting fatigued with this thread. :) I agree that it's too similar to the original, without tying back to the moon. And I don't think it's better than the other one with the moon. So I'm starting to think either change up the side B more or abandon that idea.
 
I think these are looking great. I love the idea of A and B sides. Have you considered the thought of a different inlay (dancing pose and/or moon phase) for different denominations. I know it will take more time to design but in the end could look phenomenal. for example maybe use a moon, and gas lamp like you already have, and maybe a campfire dance, barrel fire (think hobo camp) dance, or fireplace dance. That's all I can come up with right now obviously there are more nighttime lighting options. I think you would definitely keep a moon in the back ground of each of them though.

I agree the that middle inlay in the set of three chips is the best IMO, the charcoal being #2. maybe you could try a black outline on the yellow moon and see if that sets it better, right now it feels bright and distracting from the rest of the inlay. Or even use the same color for the moon as the glass in the gas lamp it is much more subdued yet adds a tad bit of color.

I also second the idea of a smaller crescent moon in the background of the gas lamp inlay, and back the fog down a little on the right side....it almost appears to be a ghost like apparition, and a little distracting.

ETA: maybe use different moon colors but keep it somewhat subdued natural colors; whitish, yellowish, blueish, pinkish; i.e. don't use a GREEN moon; to my knowledge that is not a natural color. If you chose this route maybe you could use an eclipse as a bounty or something. Just throwing some ideas at you, hope this helps.

And, as expected, I hate the black moon...

I'd try a white moon in that same spot. It doesn't have to be obvious - it can be nearly lost in the fog. A bright moon on a foggy night makes just the kind of eerie glow you've got going; I love the image, gas lamp and all, but the black moon just drives me bonkers.

Im not fatigued with the thread. I just don't have anymore input :) IMO you have already nailed it, unless you come up with a new design that blows it out of the water I really have nothing else to say
 
I plan to have J5 create an inlay for a Black Moon Lounge set, and have CPC make the chips with level eleventy-bajillion spots. Then I'm gonna gift it to Mental Nomad.

We'll see how much he really hates black moons.

Ha. Well, for what it's worth, I'm taking the whole proper-colored moon idea and using it on a dye sub cloth.

I love the cloth image.

I'm not happy with the black moon inlay, but I'm happy you've settled on something you like.

And BGinGA's proposal makes me run around the room, screaming in joy and rage.

I have to assume this is for a 1k starting stacks setup?

Would you be using this for cash games as well?

Maybe consider going with a 5k or 10k starting stack, getting rid of the T5 and/or T500 and adding a T1000...

Just my 2c, you should really think about the absolute optimal breakdown of your set before you start thinking about denoms.

If you usually did a 1k starting stack and want more chips in play, you could just up the ante to a 10k starting stack pretty easily.

Yep, all based on a 1k starting stack. You're suggesting a 10k tourney set up instead? Pros? Cons? I've always done 1k setups.
 
I personally LOVE the 10k starting stacks.

My preferred breakdown is
8 T25
8 T100
4 T500
2 T1000
1 T5000

Or you can eliminate the T500s and go with 4 T1000

I think people really enjoy starting with large denominations, at least thats what I have seen.

The pros and cons list isn't going to be anything special but when you do a 10k starting stack, it appears more like a big-time event, a la WSOP or WPT (even though they have moved to a 30k starting stack for their big buyin events recently)
 
In my experience, Starting with 5's works better for brand-spanking-new players, 25's work best for seasoned players.

Pros for 5's: Noobs bet 1 or 2 chips at a time, and with 5's that is likely to be a lower % of their total stack. If you want to keep noobs around, they need to feel like they're still in the game a couple of hours in.

Pros for 25's: When you do your first color up, those chips are taken permanently out of the game. A T5 chip and a T25 chip cost the same amount to produce (edge-sots not-withstanding), but when you color up T5's, you are discarding 5 chips for every 1 colored up, while with T25's you are only discarding 4 chips. This makes your overall set cheaper to produce.

This is the reason you never see Vegas or other casino tournaments start with T5's (or even worse... T1's) - It's just too expensive.
 
I agree with BG regarding your chips.

You could also consider all 14 spots. Just throwing these out there.

For such a classy chip, the all 14s is fantastic. I could also see a 1v12 hundo, where the spot was used to simulate the crescent moon.
 
Nice -- the sample colors finally arrived. It's actually my first time handling CPC chips after having Paulsons for years. I really like 'em.
