Looking for any feedback on a couple of ideas I have for my next set.
First off, I'm a bit of a minimalist and I like to fly under the radar. So although I like a lot of the fancy sets I see here, they aren't really my style. I'm also a fan of retro, mid century modern and art deco.
My two set ideas would be for the regular players that have known each other since elementary/high school:
1. Homage to my first set.
A 300 piece "Home Poker" theme set of red, blue and off white with hot stamps. If I go this route I would have custom die(s) made. Not sure if I want denominations or not, but if I do I'm willing to pay for custom 3 dies. Leaning towards non denom as there's more flexibility.
2. Replace my first custom ASM set's .25, $1, $5 chips with a different mold, and change the theme from "my" club to a club that represents the core regulars.
I like everything about these except for the mold. I've been trying to figure out how to improve it from a spot and colour perspective. I tried increasing spot progression, and adding spots to the quarter, but can't figure it out. The only change I've come up with would be to use lavender instead of purple on the $5 for a bit more contrast. I'm still not convinced as whenever I look at the pic above I really like them.
For molds I've decided on diamond square or circle square. I like the looks of the diamond more, but when I imagine the feel of broken in circle squares...it moved Jerry I may just go with whatever CPC has next in line too.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
