I need your opinions for Carnival colors Greek Tina (2 Viewers)

[rainy_trails]

Heya,
I play a low stacks game where we would ever only use these chips: .25/$1/$5
I’m contemplating switching up some of the colors, but what do you guys think? Do you think the default denom colors work, or would you switch something?

Honest question, why not just do your own design if going that route?

bc i love the labels!

How about changing the title to Circus Games or Carnival or Ringmaster?

 

[chippitydoodah]

If anything I'd change the frac. The $1 & $5 are pretty much perfect. If you don't care about spot progression I'd use either the snapper or the $100. OR...use the $100 as a $1 and the snapper or $1 as the frac

Frac and the snapper are too close in color for my palate.

Oh how come?

Just to be different. Outright copies show lack of imagination.

Oh that makes sense! Changing the title right now, my bad

I didn't mean the thread title, I meant the text on the chip. Away from "Big Top".

Aren’t tribute set nothing but outright copies?

I was asking mainly about the chips color denoms though! Now that I think about it, the label wouldn’t change that aspect

Is this a serious question?

We are both are relatively new members. There’s a great chance most of the questions are serious loll I’m interested in hearing a response to Timmah’s question.

That's the way I understood it. Tribute is a fancy word for copy.

 

[allforcharity]

Tribute means "to pay tribute to", which does not mean "exact copy of".

You can make a tribute set that takes inspiration from existing designs without trying to make a clone. Be classy. Say "I like where these chips came from" but put your own custom spin on it.

Exactly.

Josh Kifer‘s “Chip Dust” set is a great example of a tribute.

The Tina BTPs are copies.

So, I shouldn’t get them?

This topic has been discussed and argued about quite a lot. If you are interested in more, use the search (fn) & you will be able to dig up some old arguments.

In a nutshell:
Some like em' & some hate em'

I'm curious how these are considered "copies". It's the original art with permission from the artist, just a different medium.

I think that for some here the word "copy" has become synonymous with the words illegal, copywrite infringement, rip off, stealing etc regardless if it has any merit or not.

Many artists make an original and then sell prints which are basically just their original photographed and then the photo is reproduced with their permission & sold on purpose by the artist. Clearly this is not a violation of anyone's rights just like using artwork on a chip that you have either paid for the use of, or have been given permission to use.

I highly doubt Nintendo gave permission to use their copyrighted characters for use on these poker chips. While they’re amazing and fun, they’re using someone else’s IP. Same as the Aria “tribute” chips that copied the exact chips and even had one or more redeemed at Aria.

Big difference between making an exact copy of live chips & making chips after asking to use the art of an inlay from a fantasy chip
