The Nuts Poker Room (3 Viewers)

[Himewad]

My "Nuts" theme has progressed enough that I wanted to just start a new thread. Just to make it easier for myself, to be honest. Here's where I'm at now.


And just to see what they would look like on a couple of Royals chips.



Might need to push the denomination down a touch so that it can be larger. Otherwise, I really like it. I keep going back and forth on which font I prefer, though.

I like the fatter nuts

I like the fatter nuts

but the fatter font does appear more readable on the chip … increased the denomination size as well

Guess it's because of the WSOP, but always loved tournament chips that use the same pattern. These look great. Two suggestions though.

- Would highly recommend dayglo yellow or canary over dayglo saturn. It is really dull in person.

- Switch that 10k to a 25k.

For some reason, the CPC chip design tool is shrinking the inlay a bit. I would obviously want the image to fill more of the space than is showing up on these sample pictures. But it's pretty solid, I think. Now if I can just find a few thousand dollars in my couch cushions, I'll be all set.

Looks very cool as well!! Love the 500s purple. But i think i remember seeing some totally different draws, with a bigger squirrel. What made you change it? Sorry if i missed it

The shape of the squirrel was giving me problems, plus it was a little cartoon-ey for my liking. I don't hate it, but I like this better.

Even though thats what i liked about the older design, i see what you mean, now it looks more like a chip looking forward to see the progress, cool design!!!

I could see these labels on a ceramic hybrid, as well. Think it would work very well.

mocked up on Aurora Star hotstamp pictures … two sided option

Black label with thicker font. Closed case Johnson!

This would be a sad fate for some of the greatest tourney Stamps. Please don't do this.

It’s just a mock-up because I was thinking of using the same color scheme on ceramic hybrids. I wouldn’t do such a thing. I love those AS tourney chips. Wish I had them.

If I recall, your original design had a squirrel holding a single nut, correct? That original version, or at least the squirrel with nut, would make for a solid bounty chip with this lineup.

Yep, that’s correct. Might be a good idea. I was also thinking of putting a black eye mask on the squirrel.

 

[Hainzr]

For sure the black label with the fatter font

 

[Himewad]

cash set … kinda like it

 

[SteveHNo96]

Not bad. I'm more a butterscotch-colored or pink-colored nickel guy but I like it =)

 

[Himewad]

Updated tourney set with spot progression. These are obviously based on the Aurora Star colors.

 

[Himewad]

Still tinkering ... now I think I should make a cash set since I love my Royals tournament set.

Haha - nice addition! I wonder if it would be too tough to read when actually printed. Make sure you test.

 

[Himewad]

I've seen plenty of labels with small text. I'm sure with a high enough resolution, it could be made legible

May I suggest Retro Red on your 10k?. I think it is more vibrant to go with the Peacock.
The Dayglo Peacock won't disappoint!

How have I only now discovered this thread! @Himewad this is amazing! Was this something you made from scratch, or did you hire some outside help?

Made from scratch. If I were to actually go to production, I would hire a real graphic designer.
