I designed these online and wanted to get people's options on them well before I print them. Please let me know what you think!

Are you going to get them made with CPC? IF so do you have color sample set in hand?
 
I’d keep the inlays a uniform size. I normally prefer shaped inlays and/or smaller size but your design and colors look good on the larger size.
 
First!!! Welcome!​

Have / would you consider a Cali set, instead of Vegas?

A red 100? Where did they teach you to design like that, in some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

Over all, I like it, I tend to do the same thing, make the smaller, more in play denoms crazy fun, and over simplify the higher denoms. You will get more push back on that than anything from most members.

I think the white 1s will get faded / gritty with use, I prefer a blue 1, which means different color on the frac (could use pink as a base purple inserts)

You've over used yellow, and need to reduce it a little.

Not a fan of the red 100, but I'd suggest you change the 5 and take the red out of it, stick with orange, or GO more yellow / orange bright / light.

Also with this set your going to need at least 160 1s and 2-300 5s, so this will be more costly than if you up the 20s / 100s and make these more simplified.

I'm no color/spot expert. I let that to others.

But i find the inlay really busy and not really readable, lack of contrast.

Some thoughts :
  1. Denom bigger and more contrast to be really visible (achieved with point 2 also)
  2. inlay colors "eat" the outside beautiful spots.
  3. The big dragon "eat" the denom. Smaller dragon and on an other position ? Transparency ?
  4. shadow on lex poker room is not really needed and make the whole inlay thing fuzzy
  5. you got it I guess, i like simplicity :)

At first look, It felt like someone just mixed all the colour in when doing the design mock up with 25c $1 & $5 and then got lazy with $25 & $100

A lot of things don’t flow well and just look well too busy and messy to a certain degree.

Don’t rush with CPC design, you will be better off with taking your time and learn what is needed and what is not from other work and projects

LOL.. The 25s and 100s are 43mm and don't have as intricate design options unfortunately

I recommend against this. I think a cash set should be uniform size.

Your spot patterns are crazy busy and therefore crazy expensive. I would take some time away from active design and instead peruse some of the contest threads for customs to see what really works, and why.
 
Perhaps change the color of the dragon to contrast more on each chip or have a set background color, it's nearly invisible on the $5 and $100 red background.

The color choice for .25 and 1 are confusing to me (not sure if I'm an outlier here), I always think blue or white is a $1 chip

25 and 100 look very plain compared to the others, kind of like a Poké Ball. I always thought the colors, pips, design complexity, etc. increase as the denom goes up but this seems to be going backwards.

I think all chip sets should be the same size.
 
@Machine These are GREAT $5's, but, I think I prefer the larger, round label. I like the effect of the red as a smaller spot versus the larger exposed qtr. This 5 needs to get made.
