Struggling to Find a Theme (1 Viewer)

[crussader]

I am building a tournament set with these chips...

I am trying to find a theme that fits the colors of chips. Also, I am looking for something a little less masculine than I've used in the past, as my wife is the tournament player of the family and I would like to design this with her in mind. I am looking at the following options, but I'm not sold on any of them. I could really use some input. (Please ignore names and fonts as they are just place holders for now)

1. Tropical Paradise

2. Korean (my wife is korean

3. Coral Reef (simply because this is what the chip colors remind me of the most)

4. Abstract

5. Republic of Texas

I haven't compiled anything for this yet. It was actually just suggested by my wife.



Would love feedback on these, or any other theme that might fit well with the selected chips.

Thanks for looking!

I’m Korean and I’m having trouble finding a theme that won’t come off cheesy. I’d like some east meets west kind of theme. I’ll be watching to see what other suggestions are

What does your wife like? out of the ones posted I like the Seoul gardens with the flowers best

Thats the problem I'm having as well. Wife just told me Seoul Gardens sounds like a restaurant.

From purely a design perspective, I think that's my favorite as well. I showed it to my wife, and from her comments I think she's questioning my masculinity.

lol you said less maculine. If this is geared towards your wife what are some of the things she likes.

Seoul Reads. A Korean bookstore theme.

Seoul Reeds. A Korean river theme.

Her input so far... "It should be Texas because that's where holdem comes from"

I’d maybe play off something like the Condado Beach simple tropical theme, or the Ritz Carlton photo tropical inlays.

Digging the flower pattern. Clean and balanced. Best of luck!

I look at those chips and see mixed drinks .... Margaritas/ Mojito, Mudslide, Pina Colata, and Mai Tai.

"Seoul Train" with funky 70's Asian disco theme

How about "New Korea Club"? A play on the New China Club...

Toward top of chip:Korea Poker Palace
Bottom has location of wife's family, favorite place, etc.
If I had some ability I would mock one. I don't.

Not sure if it benefits from a destination specific theme. Think of it like a brand instead of a chip. What are some things unique to your home game. Any inside jokes or home game lore that has been a staple of your game?

If John Taffer from Bar Rescue was going to relaunch your home game, what do you think he'd name it?

I'd stay away from the Korea theme as I'm sure no one really wants their nationality to be the center of anything since no one has control over where they were born or who their parents were.

I’m not a huge help but the idea of using the Korean Flower came to my mind based off your art. Maybe you go a TX direction but have something that pays homage to heritage. I’m interested to see what you come up with, gl.

Looks like a Lotus Flower (my wife's name in Chinese) which inspired this:

What's your cultural lineage? Maybe there's a fusion you can make from the two.

That’s awesome

That’s awesome

Even more awesome when the wife approves of a chip project

If you do a flower theme, the hundo is begging for a bluebonnet
