I really like where the inspiration comes from and I think the set will turn out great James!!!
I second both of jbutler's comments below:
a couple suggestions:
(1) try to put the all the text - name and denom - in a larger, bolder font. it looks very elegant, but will be about 500 times easier to read if either everything is enlarged or the font is emboldened, preferably both. i love the condado beach chips these are modeled after, but the text and denom here appears narrower than that of the condado beach chips which are already very close to the line in terms of size and readability imo.
(2) i would use a shaped inlay for the $500. if you're only really a fan of those depicted, i would shift the round inlay to the $5 chip.
In addition to those above, and that's just my personal aesthetics bias, I believe you might have a bit too much 'peachy' on your three higher denom chips... DG Peach on your $25, Arc Yellow on the $100 and $500... I like those colors as much as the next guy but you could try and replace the ARC Yellow either on your $100 or $500 to see if you like it better... I also would lean more towards using only two color spots for your hundos 3T316s, just like in the originals... I like Charcoal better than Black (slightly) so I'l try to see which color combos would go well there and in relation to the other chips...
But again, It will be a great set, no doubt!
* One more thought, are you okay with having your logo and 'The Palo Verde Lounge and Cardroom' in blue font? Maybe you could try a 'verde' that's close to the original blue of your inspiration set...
