John Lennon Themed Mockup (2 Viewers)

[Timmy501]

Hi all,

I'd really like your opinion on a design I've be playing with. First off, a little background. I'm a big Beatles and John Lennon music fan. I also happen to live on Lennon Ln. No, really, just a coincidence.

I've got a mixed set of chips and I'm going to relabel them. Doing this myself, so wish me luck. At first I tried a label over the existing inlay, but wasn't really satisfied with the results. Now I've moved on to removing some inlays on testing chips and seeing what it would look like. For these mockup pictures I reused the 1 1/8 inch vinyl stickers that I had originally purchased and then used a utility knife to cut off the edges. Hence, the poor trim. I do plan on buying full sheet labels, a laminate, and a 1" punch for the final product.

The top row is the basic design with different colored backgrounds for each denomination. The second row uses a grey gradient background for all of them. If I use the gradient, I'll probably make the background a little darker.

I'd really like to hear some feedback on the design and colors. Also, is 1" the correct size punch, or do I need to do one just a little smaller?

Thanks!!
Tim

Nice design! Your $100 has a $1 sticker on one side.

Ya, I have a little resizing to do too. Thanks for noticing!!

I like the top. The gradient makes the inlay seem "worn" and harder to read.

I like the colored backgrounds better.

You might consider a white background on the $1 chips to avoid dirty $1/$100 stacks.

I like the color matched labels. But if you go with the single grey inlay, then yes it needs to be darker. I would use the $1 from the color matched. And you may want to consider doing the denomination in red? Many chips do that. Just as thought. However you go, I like the design.

How are backgrounds going to contribute to dirty stacks?

Easy to ID when stacking chips after pulling a pot...

I don't imagine enough $100's are going to be in play in a game that uses 25¢ chips, so probably not an issue.

You don’t “imagine”? Lennon chips, I see what you did there Wedge!

I’m not great with design but I dig the concept!

Looks like Tiny Tim....

Wow. Tiny Tim? You must be old dude. Don’t see any ukulele or any tip toeing through the tulips. Lol!

The $100 should be a Yoko chip. Throw it into the pot and that puts an end to the hand...

I like the color matched labels. Cool idea for a set.

What’s the gray chip? Don’t recognize that one.

Thanks. That is an awesome chip. Love it!

I do not like the grey gradient background, it made the label less readable imo.
The matching colors are cool even if the $1 and $100 share the same gray, maybe the $100 could use a purple matching the chip spot?

Did you try with a solid black inlay background yet?

Thanks for the comments. I think if I went with the grey background I would make it much darker. So far the overwhelming opinion has been the colored background, including my family. Personally, I like the all grey. Here's a darker one...



Let me know if you like that one.

 

[1A25R]

It's definitely readable, it's darker or less radiant effect ?
Can we see a purple $100 ?

I did, but I liked the grey a lot better. It seemed a little less distracting to the chip. Thanks for commenting!!

I started with a darker grey for the inside and outside of the gradient. Here's a couple purple 100s.

The Q is about an hour from where I live. It's a small casino and the chips are in really good condition.

It could be a nice Horseshoe or JACK frac that Q.

Definitely I like the colored labels more, and grey is better that black ones.

They have a great 50 cent chip too!! Tan with blue.

That John Lennon doodle pic had color in it on the movie poster. Maybe that would spice it up a bit

I have actually tossed that idea around. What do you think of this???
