Well, a couple of first. My first time starting a thread AND (much more importantly) my first order from CPC. I'm not much of a poster but I've read quite a bit on here, so I was pretty familiar with the do's and don'ts, and things to consider before ordering a set of customs. I also had previously ordered a tournament set from BCC back in 2007. I played around with the design tool for months considering color combinations. I tried to keep the price down and pick edge spots that were realistic and true to the denomination, but I also knew this was a once in lifetime (ha! maybe 3 or 4) set so I didn't want to skimp too much and make sure I was happy with the look. I also went with the A-mold in an attempt to save a bit. I did also like the FDL mold because of the bigger inlay size. I knew I wanted the 1/16th inlay, but that size is also available on the A-mold, it's cheaper, and it's always in production so I wouldn't have to wait so long on my chips! The inlay I designed myself, with the help of a friend who does graphic design work and was familiar with working in Adobe Illustrator. I had the basic idea in my head that changed many times before it became this. But it stayed close to my original vision of wanting a simple and modern look to it.
Anyway, here are my chips. They are ordered, and they can't get here soon enough!
