This is my take of the inlay you're asking. Need some changes, like fonts or you have additional images for your inlay? Don't be shy to PM. Thanks.

Hi,

Nice design !

I also think that it’s better to not have Belgrade, NE on the edge.
Also, for a tournament set, I would have not make any spot progression and have a consistent spot across all the chips. But do really what you like !

I like both T5 or T25 as lowest chip. T25 for the bricks and mortar casino, T5 for Internet tournament. So I’m fine with both since players are probably used to both.

If your plan is to have T1000, and especially if you plan to accommodate a lot of players, I’d go to the 10/10/7 route and I’d use T500 if you want to play deeper or with rebuys. I’d also take one T100 per player to color-up the T5 and one T500 per player to color-up the T25.

T2000 (if this is what you like) and T10,000 plaques would work for your big events. You could also use T1000 and T5000 plaque. It’s really up to you.

That's my problem no new tab, nothing to save. I don't get a file created, or at least I can't find it. I've been in Chrome and checked the popup blocker, and other stuff. I tried it once in Edge, but I'll try again with some modifications, got one download as a text file, it's got me confused.

Ok, I finally got it to work. Chrome wasn't giving me a download. Edge was but it was a text file. Finally in Explorer it worked correctly, now I know.

I'm pretty happy with the back, (Inspired by Webster Farms), the color and spot on the 100, 500, 2000. But real undecided on the front inlay and the color spots on the 5 and 25.

I'm torn on spot progressions. I like the look of the 100, 500, and 2000, so I'll probably keep them. I like the tri-moon, but it doesn't really fit in. I go 10/10/7 on bigger tournaments, 10/10/7/2 if we want deep stacks.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, Palindrome is trying some stuff right now, but if he is unable to get to it, I'll get back to you.

Have you played around with different inlay art on either side of the chip?

 

[smsguy927]

@Natskule I like your inlay layout with the name of your set on the outside. I think the 4th and 5th front inlays are the best. I don't think two colors work with the tri moon edge spots on the 5. I think you either need one or three. If you want white and black, maybe add charcoal or gray? Or even a blue? The 25 is fine, but the dg pink will really stand out. It's very bright.

Latest version. Still trying to finalize the inlay. Dang poker chip design tool is addicting. Don't need another cash set, but was fun to play around with.

What made you switch to the FDL mold?

Any chance of the 5s and 2500s being in play at the same time? It's a slight change, but the move from red to mandarin red and adding the black spots to the 5s makes those two chips pretty similar. Maybe swap the white (or black) spots for light blue or light green?

 

[Natskule]

Woody has helped with the inlays.

 

[allforcharity]

I think the black background is too dark for the fireworks to adequately stand out in print. Maybe try a blue gradient?

 

[Natskule]

Still looking at getting a CPC tournament set. Just for 1 to 2 tables. Have a big CC set for bigger tournaments. Looking at starting at 100, because, well, why not?

I'll have Woody help with the inlay, he's wonderful and has helped me in the past.

A T100-base set makes a lot more sense if planning on using a T2000/T10k chip progression.

I would advise not using orange or yellow for the T2000 chip, as those colors are commonly used for T1000 chips and are more likely to cause player errors during play. White, blue, grey, red, or pink are all much better color choices.

 

[Solanthos]

Most tournaments that are going to big blind ante are starting with T100 chips as the smallest denomination as well, in my experience.

100/100
100/100/100
100/200/200
100/300/300 (or 200/300/300)

etc... I think we'll start seeing a lot less T25 chips in play (at least in NLHE tourneys w/ BBA) in the near future. So starting a tourney set with a T100 won't be too unusual...
