I have the same reservations about the design of the bounty chips. The edge spots all come from the colors of the other chips in the set.Don't like the bounty chip. Doesn't fit to the rest of the set, too colorful and not even a visually pleasing rainbow (see Via Lactea $500 for reference - colors here appear to just be randomly scattered).
Colors/spots of the other chips definitely have improved though.
Agree. The rest of the set is solid, though! Congrats.I have the same reservations about the design of the bounty chips. The edge spots all come from the colors of the other chips in the set.
Thank you. I'm working with a designer friend of mine, but neither of us have created poker chip inlays before.I would recommend taking your inlay design idea to one of the resident experts here and have them help you create it.
Much like getting samples is needed to come up with color combinations. Getting a designer is a must for the inlay.
@p5woody and @Quicksilver-75 are both highly recommended here.
I don’t mind having a nutty mismatched bounty chip. Some might even prefer it not match the set so it sticks out as a gimmick/gadget chip.Don't like the bounty chip.

I appreciate the feedback. The visual connection is that the edgespots on the bounty all match the colors and edgespots of the rest of the chips. They are arranged opposite of each other on the bounty.If it was only not matching the rest of the chips - that'd be still acceptable imo for exactly that reason.
But it's the combination of both: apparently random, visually not pleasing spots plus it not matching the rest.

4DS316 would be a level 3 if you wanted to save a lil $ on the 1k chipI appreciate all the feedback. I think my designer and I have pretty well settled on the following with maybe a tweak to font size for the denoms, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with them.View attachment 140408
One thing I know is between nice custom set and nice casino sets, is that the casino sets seem to all be decided by the casino mngr who basically makes decisions on the fly, while the custom sets seem to involve many many months of toiling over spots and colors and getting Community feedback.
Another aspect of customs is the concept of a theme. Many custom sets incorporate themes into their inlays and their spot and colors. Unless you have provided this in another thread, I don’t see any type of theme or inspiration for your set? Giving us this background might help folks provide feedback.
I also note that you have said several times that you are using a designer friend. There is a huge difference in being a graphic designer, and design in poker chip labels and artwork. These teeny pieces of art are often only 7/8 of an inch big. How will the artwork will look in miniature scale, printed on a custom chip, and visibility of the denominations are all things to take into consideration. The custom chip designer is worth their weight in gold. This is not to say you can’t design artwork on your own, but we wear, there are pitfalls you may not know about
Thanks for that feedback. The owl is something that is relevant to the house we live in and the chips are named after the house. My wife named our house "The Beverly Gartland" and when we bought it, there was a stuffed great horned owl on one of the bedroom walls that has since become a running joke. The owl is no longer in the house as it creeped me out.That 25 looks familiar.

But I kinda agree with others, that the set holds promise, but could use some tweaking. The chips don’t seem to flow imho. I strongly suggest looking to several of the threads dedicated to custom sets, and take a look at what others are doing.
