Flamingo Lounge Cash Set Design (5 Viewers)

So I've made my final tweaks, this is the final form of the design and I feel great about it. Ditched the $10 in favor of a $500 to make this set one that can truly run the table from micro stakes all the way to high rolling games.

The other big change is that as a cash game set, I figured most people are going to buy or rebuy in counts of 100 or counts of 20 so the $25 is now a $20 chip. With that in mind here is the final product waiting for a finished chip design....

I love where I've ended up and I'm hoping to be in production soon. I will update once there is a finished product in hand to hit the tables! I sincerely appreciate everyone's input and ideas. It has all helped me immensely and I am grateful to you all!

Make your $1 and $5 with different spots. Please!
If you have a nickel you probably don't need a $500.

Just noticed that too...more tweaking and I'm going to have to update Tim... *sigh

And this set is going to be divided in use between microstakes family games (5c/10c, 25 max buy-in) and regular games with my degen crew that have been threatening to go 1/3 or 2/5 in recent group chats so I figure why not have the flexibility built in...also $500!!!!

Love the bold denom in the original post.

I did it for the labels on my placeholder relabeled sluggo set and for whatever reason it didn't translate as well to the chips. It looked like it was swallowing the whole design....it was strange given how much I liked it in the early design stages
 
I love the Dealer button, it looks really "balanced" in design. The final design of the denominated chips looks good but has a LOT of color matching going on. Have you considered dropping the outer ring border? That would allow you a little more margin outside the word "Flamingo" and may enable you to enlarge "Riverside, CA". As it is now, "Riverside, CA" seems like it will be extremely small on the finished product. "Fabulous" and "Lounge" also look just a tad small and very close to "Flamingo". The "atomic" stars will appear very small as well, so maybe drop those and elongate "Fabulous" and "Lounge"? Or maybe a font with a wider spread? Maybe slide the bird image slightly to the right? I know it's tough to fit a lot on a 1" label. Overall, looking pretty good!

All great stuff for me to consider and play around with!
 
Like these changes! How would sizing up the single-digit denoms and the currency symbols on all denoms a little bit look?
 
Notice how when you look at the enlarged inlay, everything seems to make sense. But post a set mock-up with inlays (not enlarged) and you'll see how truly small some elements can be. I think the latest iteration is better, although the smaller "atomic" stars are almost non-existent.

Does matching the denomination to the chip color still read as too much color matching or do I go with something like the standard type of casino red?
 
I loved watching your design evolve. Very nice. I thought too much color matching was over the top, but the denom, IMO, is fine to color match, along with the rest of the concept. I just thought the ring was one element too many for color matching. It's your baby, so you gotta raise it how you wish :D. I really like the latest iteration a LOT, but I seem to keep going back to the 2-sided version done earlier. I guess it's because I loved that "Flamingo" font that was used. But if you want your chips more "conventional" with the image on both sides, this one is very very good to these old eyes.
 
The color matched denoms lend to the Art Deco kind of feel I get from this design. Actually, maybe color match the "atomic" stars and take a look and see if it's too much. Or color contrast the stars? Perhaps use the darkest color (other than black) for the stars?

Very much in line with the feel I am looking for. The house I live in was built in the late 40's/early 50's and the entire neighborhood has TONS of elements that scream of that time period so I am trying to hit that type of sweet spot.

I appreciate your kind words on the evolution of the design and I hope to do something with that two sided design one day because I really enjoyed it as well. The biggest problem with the old wordmark logo was making it fit in with the current elements without it being too small or too cramped and it wouldn't work no matter how hard I tried....:confused
 
Upsized single denoms, no ring, a little more aging on the inlay, spacing on most lettering in the wordmark, larger starbursts....

I still think my 5 is weakest and I'm struggling with it a bit, but I feel like everything else is pretty dialed in...

What if you match the denom color on the $5 to the butterscotch rather than the base?

I'll try that...honestly everything else feels very good but the 5 (outside of the daisy base color) has always felt off in terms of spots, spot colors and I don't know how to scratch that itch...hahaha

Lots of pink/rose in the set already, maybe eliminate the pink from the $5? Just an idea

I will say that if I take away the outer ring, the smaller recess looks a little nicer IMO.

Personally I'd switch spots on the quarter to $1.
Flow wise.
Otherwise it's 1/3/2/4.
 
So, lots to digest here...hahaha.

  • A new quarter to make the 1/2/3/4 feel more natural and not as out of sorts
  • Two options for the 1 dollar chip (one of them at the arm-twisting of @SeanGecko ;))
  • A 5 that I actually like quite a bit
  • A slight change to make the spots thicker on the 20
  • Finally, a blurple 500 in case I go full Team Black Dollar....
Whew....I need a nap :LOL: :laugh:
