Has anybody used AI to design chips? (5 Viewers)

I used MidJourney to create the base artwork for the woodchuck souvenir chip in my “harvest” set:

I did do a fair amount of tweaking of the Midjourney image, but the base concept came from the A.I.
 
Note that you can instruct MidJourney to create images in the style of most any artist, cartoonist, or genre you like. The results are not always what you’d expect, of course. But it’s a way of pushing the program toward looks other than its default fantasy fiction novel cover style.

Beautiful set. I had not seen it before. Well done.

Details of my design journey at these links, FWIW:

In addition to A.I., there are sites which help generate logos which can be helpful in brainstorming, such as:

https://www.design.com/s/logo-maker

I’ve looked at that site and others more to help me explore inlay ideas, than to actually create finished logos. But it does a pretty nice job of getting you started. Example:

I just got this set made for my home cash game. All of the artwork was generated using Midjourney.

It's frequently said here that there are too many ceramic sets that don't take advantage of the medium, but you've really pushed the possibilities forward. The multiple variations on each denom that work together is frankly genius.

Minor quibble, and it could just be the lighting, but the color/saturation on the .25, $25, and $100 seem pretty close. The inlay/face seems to allow for good separation but I didn't see any pictures of those stacked next to each other.

Thanks for the feedback!

This was my first time designing a chip set. Thanks to this forum I went from knowing nothing and planning to put stickers on dice chips to deciding I needed custom ceramics over the course of a few weeks. So it's been a big learning process for me.

You're right about the colours, the green and black do look too similar. I realized I'd made a mistake as soon as I opened them. I wanted to get the chips in time for an upcoming cash game so I only did one round of samples. Some of the designs were altered and then not resampled before ordering. I should have taken more time to order multiple rounds of samples and get the colours right. After the first round of samples I thought I had a good enough sense of how the digital images on screen would translate to chips.

Like you mentioned I was trying to make the most out of the customization possibilities of the ceramics and I'm very happy with how that aspect worked out.

The game itself is pretty casual and is mostly just running 25c/50c, so I probably won't even use the greens or blacks more than a few times a year when we play a bigger game.

If anyone is curious for the breakdown of chips:
.25 x 100
$1 x 180
$5 x 180
$25 x 45
$100 x 15
