Thoughts on new Rounders Dealer Button (1 Viewer)

[Colquhoun]

I just got a set of CPC Rounders chips and wanted a dealer button that really captured the KGB's Place vibe. Something that Teddy would have had in the club.
I do have the button that looks like the inlay, but wanted something more, a button in Russian and English, using old Russian posters as inspiration.
Here is what I'm considering:

Thoughts?

Great concept. I'm leaning toward option 1 because it has that old brutalist/propaganda poster feel and pops a bit more than the second button, and the third is a bit too off kilter looking to me with the dropshadow/outlines shifted like that.

 

[Han Trinh]

Option 1 or 3

 

[mnebesny]

Personally I like Option 3 for the "dealer" text box and bear outline. Maybe these combined with the Option 2 background would be great.

Bears fight downhill. Bulls fight uphill. Just saying.

Be sure to rotate it when it comes around to you.

I like it. Option 2 is most "Russian" for me

 

[Himewad]

following ... the brown bear looks best on screen, as long as it prints well that gets my vote

 

[SuckoutKing]

I'm not sure I would have thought this had anything to do with Rounders?? Had the post not mentioned it.

 

[Nuhockey]

I like option #2 most.

 

[Easylife]

Really like option 2, think bear and background works best on this

 

[Nuhockey]

If this ever gets offered up. I'd like to get any designs that get made. Thanks.

I may try a version showing more of the bear, more like the original Rounders KGB inlay.

I like Option 3 the most

The background for option 1 & 3 have a Japanese Rising Sun vibe to them. Which by itself isn't a bad thing, but if you're going for a Russian theme may not be ideal.

I was surprised to find that the burst graphic was a recurring image in a number of old posters. I’ll try fading it back a bit so it’s less intense.

well I stand corrected every day's a school day!

With those posters in mind I'd maybe say to make a bit more use of red

 

[Pinesol13]

I like option #1

Personally, I would brighten up the red in the background a touch

 

[eightyWon]

100% in if this becomes a thing

 

[Colquhoun]

I’m working on making some updates to it. I may make a few for myself and release the art to anyone that wants to make their own, either singles or a group buy.

I like one as well. Cool concept, would definitely order one or two if you make that available.

 

[Colquhoun]

It looks like 2 of these buttons will go on the next group buy by @Himewad , likely Option 2 and 3.
I made two variations of #3, which one do you prefer?

I made variation 2 a little brighter, and the bear smaller to show it all, more like the Rounders chips.

I love both, but #2 a little more.

I agree, #2 is awesome

 

[Himewad]

I prefer the larger bear with his butt cut off.

If you’re just talking about coloring, the bright red is nice.

 

[surfik]

I want both

i think the apache one is good, but i think it should have dealer written in russian on one side and one side in english, like you have here. i also think the edges could be improved but other than that i think it still looks good

This was my original plan, to have a simple white button like the inlay. But then figured I'd go one step further.
I still would like an Apache button with English on one side and Russian on the other.

 

[Colquhoun]

OK, I did a 3D model of a couple dealer buttons on a table and rendered it out to see what one would look like, with the suggestions so far.
Was a quiet Saturday night!
