MSK 60mm Jeton - Best Hand design/interest (2 Viewers)

[DJ Mack]

At most of the home games I play we usually run a few side pots. Bounty buttons are pretty well covered, but one thing I've never been able to find is a Best Hand button. I usually end up using an extra lammer that gets passed around to whomever currently has the best hand of the night. At the end of the night the holder gets the best hand pot.

Since I'm going to be ordering plaques from MSK and have to pay my bank's flat rate wire transfer fee I decided to combine a Best Hand button project into a single order. I love their jetons and in conversation with them they're just $2.98 each regardless of size, plus the $30 handling charge if I order from 1-100.

I obviously only need a couple, but would anybody else be interested? Here's my quick and dirty design, planned for the large (60 mm) jeton with their standard mother of pearl base. Haven't settled on an edge color yet.

Design feedback also heartily welcomed.

So the base would look like this, right?

I'd be interested in one. First thing, I'd change the text to say "High Hand", but that's pretty minor. I'd also prefer something outside of a western theme, less specific. The four suits logo came to mind, but there are other options, for sure. Based on the results on Apache's button, I think a simpler design will work better, as far as letting the mother of pearl show through.

Yes, that's the one. The cards are showing white in the sample but I'm going to have them set to transparent so a lot more of the MOP will show. Good thought on changing to High Hand, let me mull that over a bit.

 

[DJ Mack]

Updated a bit to add some color and incorporated @atomiktoaster's suggested text change. Anything that is white will be the full, unobstructed MOP background. With the exception of black, all the other colors will still show the background.

Sure why not.
