I think I may just stick with the $25 quarter pie. I love my $100 814 and I want the $25 to have lots of that Dayglo Green. Normal Green looks a bit like Imperial Blue in some lighting. Still open to ideas though.

I'd like to keep it simple. Some of these higher level edge spots are soo ugly. Did they retire some of their edges? I recall a tri spotted 4DSA316. Not sure what that'd be called, but it had three 16 stripes on each side which were separated by the base color. Maybe it was the old Chip Tool when it had Paulson edges.

Yes that's a Paulson spot. Never offered by ASM/CPC

Was thinking about ^^ this ^^ but issue I have with it is Green is still dominant base color for the $25, which looks fantastic, but it's really close to the $1s Imperial Blue in some lighting. Also the $100 looks fine but it's 6 spots just like the $25 which doesn't differ them enough from each other.

The quarter pie $25 was half DG so it stood out from the other chips very nicely.

For my hundred, I'll likely go 618 or 814. Struggling with my $25? I need it to be loud and L4 or below preferably. Quarter Pie Green + DG Green is the winner so far.

Does anyone think that the $25 green 614 pictured above could be confused for the $1 in a dirty stack?

Keep it 1/4 pie. It was awesome as is.

Keep the $25 1/4 pie or the 25c?

I hear what you are saying here in regards to blues and greens. If you want a blue and a green chip in the same set, they need to have totally different spot patterns/colors and/or utilize the light and dark shades as the base colors. With your set using the "middle" shades as the 2 base colors and only using shades of the base color for the spots, it will be tough to make it work I think. For my set, I went with blue and light green and feel this offers enough contrast between the 2 chips.

Either a lighter blue base $1 with you latest green $25 or lighter green base $25 with your latest imp blue $1 chip:

I changed the edge of the $25 from Green to Retro Green. This makes it decently darker than Imperial Blue and should make it stand out a bit more. The DG edges should do the trick on their own, but just in case, I darkened the edges a bit.

Trigger has been pulled and hopefully I'll have no more last minute revisions.

Wow, that pic came out bad. Looks a little washed out on the monitor.

While the subject of the samples is broached: Is anyone else totally disappointed by the DG Orange?
My sample seems more brown orange than dayglo.

Did you oil them?

Oil, baby, oil.

Oil, baby, oil.

I have not oiled them. I will do so. But I can't see it turning into a day-glo color just from some mineral oil. I'm beginning to think I may have this color mislabeled...

Yeah I really wouldn't consider DG Orange a "dayglo" color really. It is darker/less bright than the other DG colors and does have a lot of brown in it.

What I should have said is that I've paid for the set, but now I'm getting cold feet about the design. I would hate to spend this much on a set that I'm not 100% happy with.

So what I did, was (without aid of the Chip Design Tool) is take my CPC Color Samples and splash them around and pick out color combos that I would like my chips to be. The $.25 is still the same. I really like that combo for a quarter. The others have changed pretty drastically, but I think they'll accomplish my goals of having denoms that are easily discernible from each other with similar elaborate edgespots.

Monochrome would be alright on a tourney set with a clear edgespot theme (looking at you BCC Grand Poker Room), but I feel it's boring on a cash set where there should be colors that compliment one another with an accent color to make them stand out.

Here's the updated chips. The blue/white combo on the $1 can't be mistaken for the $25. The $5 looks just fair in the chip tool but Red does actually stand out nicely from Retro Red. The new $25 adds some DG Saturn to help it further stand out while complimenting the green base. I'm very pleased with the new hundred.

My next step is getting someone to redesign a label. I'm as amateur of a designer as it gets so I've called upon the help of a CPCer for a label redesign but still following the same theme.

I though I was okay with the simple design but I felt that it would be a shame to not get a great design from one of the talented designers on this site.

I guess you can't rush greatness.

Like these a lot better. The $5 looks a little off to me in comparison to the others. I think it's the red edge spot but also bc both edge spots are dark, which differs from the new edge spots on the other chips.

You've gone with at least one light-colored edge spot now on the others and your $25/$100 have 2 light-colored spots.

The $5 might bit better if you go lighter on one or both of the edge spots...

Let's try dark n light on the $5 and $25. I like the updated $5 but the $25 I think I still like two DG edges.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

How about a DG pink spot on the 5?

 

[Dale_Doback]

Yeah that makes the $5 not stand out now, imo.

 

[200 Motels]

I don't think I like Pink and Black edge spots together. I do think that the overall dark color of the $5 makes it stand out from others.

Since on my monitor the Mandarin Red looks more like Retro Red, the below $5 would have a Retro Red base irl. Also back to liking Dark Blue to go with $1's white edges (edit: I like Retro Blue now) . That dg base for the $25 stands out nicely imo.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

you could do dg pink and maroon instead of black. Or you could do the dg pink/red edgespots with a retro red base.

 

[200 Motels]

Or I could have a white $1.

Ahh that looks nice.

Or this. (with irl Retro Red as base)

Or this $1

 

[Dale_Doback]

Like the new $1 (with the lighter blue) and love the DG green base. Now the $1-$100 chips are your traditional colors. I think the $5 would look sharper with some more contrast on the edge spots. Maybe try mandarin red base and DG pink like you have above but maybe swap the red edge spot for an arc yellow or DG peach???

I'm not sure if I like yellow/orange/peach on the red $5. Pink and Maroon on a red or retro red seems really nice.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Do you have a sample set? Retro red looks much better in person than on the chip tool. Regular red looks almost burgundy.

I do. Retro (currently) is the base color with Red and DG Pink edges. Although I haven't canceled the thought of Red base with Retro Red and DG Pink Edges.
