Inlay Feedback Wanted - Honest Abe's Cardroom and Saloon (4 Viewers)

[chicubs1988]

Background: I'm originally from Springfield, Illinois, the "Land of Lincoln." So, I decided to combine my affinity for my hometown with my love of poker chips. I'm planning on doing a custom cash set and tourney set. Below are inlays put together by J5.

Round 1:

Based on some of my feedback, Round 2:

..and Round 3:

Based on Round 3, I'm currently leaning toward a 2-sided inlay. I like the bottom left for one side, however I can't decide between the top 2 for the other side.


Any feedback/opinions are appreciated.

 

[Pablito]

I like the top right of the top two. Your bottom left choice is also a winner.

 

[EventHorizonVII]

I like the top right in Round 3

Centered text gives good contrast to the other side.

First off, congrats on landing J5! Guaranteed a great inlay no matter what.

I like both of these and think they would compliment each other for a nice 2 sided design:

 

[BSteck]

Another vote for top-right then bottom-right.

 

[CraigT78]

I vote for top and bottom right as well. Food for thought - since it's a two sided inlay, do you need two heads of Abe? Free up some real estate for additional design? Either way - great design so far

 

[PlaidDragon]

Round 1 top center, but make the denom text red like the others.

First off, congrats on landing J5! Guaranteed a great inlay no matter what.

He recently finished yet another project for me. J5 rocks

Top right

 

[allforcharity]

Are you going to have the same inlay on both sides?

 

[TheBigTater]

Gotta agree for 2 sided design, top right, bottom right from round 3.

For a single sided design top right for cash, bottom right for tournament.

 

[Perthmike]

Top right and bottom right from round 3 as well. Both look great, love your design and theme.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Heh, I actually prefer top left and bottom left. Top right/bottom right is still very nice though.

 

[Joe E.]

Top right

Sample set please!

 

[SixSpeedFury]

2nd chip of round 3 looks like the winner

 

[WedgeRock]

I really dig the way the flourish bookends the text in Round 1, Row 2, Chip 2.

 

[chicubs1988]

So I'm thinking Top Right on one side, Bottom Left on the other. I don't think I need the same pic of Abe on both sides. If I remove it from the Top Right, any recommendations on what to replace it with?

 

[rowlin]

Using Round 3 pic:

I like your choice of bottom left for one side.

For the other side, I like either of the top options - right if you want the bust to be featured, left if you prefer the name of the cardroom be more prominently displayed.

If you make all the chips green, it will be my favorite set ever. Just tossing that out there.

 

[AceFour]

oops wrong thread . . .

 

[johnnycnote]

Nice! Samples please (y) :thumbsup:

 

[chicubs1988]

Decided to add some variety and replace the Lincoln's head on one side of the inlay. Which do you guys prefer?

 

[Pablito]

Right hand side profile of Mr. Lincoln looks more natural to me, so that would be my choice.

 

[chicubs1988]

Selected inlays on the chip set. Again, suggestions/feedback welcomed.


Side 1:

Side 2:

 

[Tommy]

Great looking set. Love the colors on the $1 especially. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[crussader]

I have a couple of thoughts.

1) I would try a different color background for the inlays. The yellowish brown color of the background clashes with some of the chips (particularly the snapper).

2) The denominations on side 2 look a little awkward to me. I would a) leave them off completely or b) Use one denomination placed horizontally just above Abe's left shoulder instead of curved and sideways.

 

[Gunnar]

I LOVE side 1. Side 2 does not do it for me. I get a crowded feeling for the side 2

 

[chicubs1988]

I agree, I need to remove the denoms from next to Abe's head.

 

[allforcharity]

Yup, really only need denom on one side. Remove from photo Abe. Then you're golden!
I like the background colour of your inlay. Old parchment/scroll.
