Post your 8V semi custom thread (1 Viewer)

[JoeBGo]

So everyone that’s been ordering your 8v’s from the blowout sale let’s see what your working on! Or if you have an older set too, Let’s see ‘em!

I bought colors for a tournament set, unlabeled. With no idea what I was doing for labels?

I’ve since added on to my order. I think the colors I’ll be using are as follows...
$25 - Green
$100 - Black
$500 - Pink
$1000 - Gray
$5000 - Blue
$25000 - Red
BOUNTY - Brown

I decided I didn’t want to get too fancy with an inlay design being these chips were picked up on the cheap. I’ve always liked simple inlay designs for tournament chips. So I put together my ideas and sent them off to Gene and yesterday received my proof!

And now to finalize and get the labels ordered! I don’t know how much I’m looking forward to applying 2,000 labels?!

Let’s see what you guys are working on!

Here is my sets from the original 8V GB. I've added on considerably with @ABC Gifts and Awards blowout sale (.10c/chip, wow thanks Gene), enough to expand the cash set to accommodate limit sets from $1/$2 - $4/$8 limits as well as expanding out the tournament set.

I'm thinking of reworking/tweaking the cash labels somewhat, we shall see. But I'm not relishing applying a shit ton of labels.

[SeanGecko]

The labels are still in process but I mostly am. Happy with them a few more tweaks.

I was debating on making the Pink’s 50c for the hell of it and making the ones in this pic into some kind of tourney set.

Or the pinks 25c grey $1 and red $5 and make it a travel cash set. I would only need a rack or two of the reds. I could maybe sell the rest. @saleen121212 is first in line if I sell.

 

[dmalhi1]

now you are starting to sound indecisive.... sell em all to @saleen121212

 

[SeanGecko]

Well it’s not about being indecisive it’s a process.

 

[dmalhi1]

wait til I finally pick mine up.... i'm going to be a wreck trying to figure out what to do with them.

 

[mrplacey]

@SeanGecko Agree it's a process. This is my first semi-custom set, and I've gone back and forth with the colors that I've ordered. Here's what I've got coming my way:

100 pink
100 brown
200 black
200 green
300 white

I'm currently leaning towards brown nickel, pink quarter, black dollar, white $5 and green $20. My original plan was to accommodate a smaller micro game with the chip counts leaning towards smaller denoms, but I figure this colorway might work the best. Thoughts?

 

[SeanGecko]

Careful with the pinks. This is my third set . First were super diamonds second was spirit.

that plaque should come with a warning that reads, "may induce tilt like behavior from on-lookers."

I have an order in with @ABC Gifts and Awards for a cash and tournament set. Just sent my design idea to gene and awaiting their design of my take. I'm not well versed with any photoshop or other programs so had to take photos from my laptop screen. Let me know what you think good or bad. I take criticism well. Let me know what ones you like or don't like

Cash set ideas

With both sets I am looking to make one of the colors of the edge spots to match the denomination and nvc

 

[SeanGecko]

Plaques!!!

[TheBigTater]

Well those are 8V's....

 

[longflop]

Gonna say, you were about to tilt a bunch of people.....

 

[SeanGecko]

Those aren’t the yellow we’re looking for

 

[doughboy63]

Those aren’t the yellow we’re looking for

I’d take em at .10 ea.

 

[SeanGecko]

I’d even pay .15 a piece

Chips arrive next Tuesday so I'll get better feel then for color matching.

I like your color choices. The blues look really good in person.

Big fan of the labels! You design them yourself?

 

[allforcharity]

I like the Greek art to go with the Greek Key. Just wondering...why Mercury/Hermes?

 

[WillAndrew]

I feel this may be a little too busy for a tournament chip? Though I don't have any other custom labels and just having text only feels like I'm not quite getting my money's worth

Thanks, I am doing the design work myself in Illustrator. I thought a mythological icon would go well with the mold design and so far I'm liking it. This image is just a placeholder, but I'm warming up to it.

Are you planning on printing your own or having someone else print them?
