Re-starting my custom designs (2 Viewers)

[Chicken Rob]

Ok, so I am trying again. I can't seem to ever be happy with what I can get vs. what I want. But, here is my first attempt at trying with CPC.

Denoms are .05, .25, 1, 5, 25, 100. The 25 and 100 are oversized.

I like the first 4 denoms as far as flow and progression more than the last 2. Looking for chipe xberts to help me out.

 

[stocky]

What about Cali $25?

 

[slisk250]

The 44mm chips limit your choices for a progression in a big way. Will you be happy with all 39s if it comes to it? Using the 5 spots in a way like Paul's last two mocks here are a solution. In that case I would change the green chip spot from a double to single pattern.

 

[Chicken Rob]

Actually, I want the 25 to be 39. Don't know what I was thinking. I'm gonna do a 44mm 20. So my oversized chips will be the 20, 100 and 500.

25 should be 39mm.

Will consider all 39, but I'm not a progression nit, so I'll probably try to find a way to be happy with the 3 oversized denoms I mentioned.

@courage and I have been throwing a bunch of mock-ups at @Chicken Rob via email and we thought it best to stick them in the thread here so they won't get lost in the sea of non-mock-up-related emails. Some of the below are subtle variations, but I figured fuck it - throw em all in there.

Denominations will be .05/.25/1/5/20 or 25/100/500.

No love for 618s Love the green 25 in the first mockup.

 

[Chicken Rob]

618s may have been omitted for cost reasons. I love 618s. I love 1/8" spots a lot. I'm trying to keep costs down a little so I can get moar.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Hoky crap all those mockups are nice but the first two are amazeballs.

 

[jbutler]

Yeah mostly this. 618s are very 'spensive (as Tommy knows full well ).

I see some L8s there. How much more is an L9 618 vs L8?

$37 per chip. Brutal price jump.

 

[stocky]

Ship those first two.

Wow, that is a lot. 37 cents would be a big jump too. I didn't think it was that much.

 

[jbutler]

One more - this time with a 618

.05/.25/1/5/20/100/500

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Like it but you have to keep the original 500

 

[jbutler]

Like it but you have to keep the original 500

Yeah I really like that chip too, but if you go with a white $100 it doesn't look right. And I wanted a black $20 above, so the white $100 was necessary.

I'm really thinking by the time @Chicken Rob is ready to make decisions he'll feel free to mix and match among all the chips within all my and @courage's mock ups.

 

[jbutler]

Okay, old $500 with black hundo. It's fun spending Chicken's money.

 

[ssanel54]

My thoughts are to lock in the Pink 212 yellow quarter and the Blurple $1 (he is Blurple Chicken). Then go with a Tiger based $5 and black based 20. Solid for the nickel

Something like one of these?

^^this man knows what he's talking about, except the quarter is retro lavender, which I think is a bit better with tiger.

For some reason I avoided black since I thot chicken was obsessed with using the brightest colors possible.

Edit: I used a tiger nickel because I think he does have a regular micro stakes game where they might like it. But it's prolly better as a $5...

Same. Gave that Chicken some bright colors. Chickens love bright colors.

Yes. Love the Bottom, but may try to make the Black 618 and the hundred (whatever the other configuration is called)

Re: the color of the fracs, I know this is kind of counterintuitive and unpopular, but I kind of like making the nickel and quarter the colors of their higher denom counterparts if possible (i.e., when those higher denoms - $5 and $25 - don't use the traditional colors). So I made the nickel pink/red and the quarter green. I can see how that might rub the wrong way, but since they'll be mostly used in micro-stakes games, it wouldn't bother me personally.

He likes Black chips just fine....as long as they are in his stack and not Tims

I've always liked the old atomic symbol - doing spots oriented on groups of 3 or 6 would be an interesting play on it

[onerand]

This is getting good

 

[Tommy]

One more - this time with a 618

2 color spot 618 = L9
3 color spot 618 = L10

$37 per chip. Brutal price jump.

Kidding aside, I think you meant 37 cents, but it looks like its 25 cent for L8 vs L9

No I actually did mean $37. I was just being a smart ass.

Stealing liberally from your previous mockups:

Zactly.
