You are voting on your favorite FULL LINEUP. Name of designers will be revealed in 2 weeks when we crown a winner!


A

B

D

F

** Prize: okay what originally happened is that I started designing a diasquare 314 set, then wanted inspiration, then had the idea to do a contest for inspiration and because I stumbled on this set of constraints while making my own and design and thought it would be interesting to see how others handled it. So my thinking had been to unveil and order a CPC set sometime soon and announce that the winner would get some number of chips from me, maybe up to a full heads up set (depending on how kind the tax man was) as a thank you for shamelessly harvesting their submission for inspiration. With the recent news of CPC pausing taking orders, we'll see where this goes, but something chipping will eventually make its way to whoever gets the most votes.

Close call between A and F for me. Ultimately went with A because I like the contrast in colors (across the entire line) slightly more

 

[Cratty]

Just find it interesting that none of the sets went with a black $100, and there are two whites. Neat!

 

[drdr]

Line up just pops and contrasts much better with that black chip, D all the way.

Edit - it's not black is it? Colour blindness, man. D even more awesome to me now.

 

[WedgeRock]

Set D, what are you doing with your third spot on the $25?! Act your age.

Ehh CPC maroon is close enough to black for me (ya I’m colorblind, so what?). ChipGuide color assignments would certainly call it black

What’s interesting about A is the increased contrast in base color but homogeneity in spots. There were some other line ups that had similar to what A has with three yellow, three blue on same chip.

I was just thinking about what my line up would be. Still thinking

 

[Sprouty]

I know what my lineup would be .....

 

[golobos]

F by a mile and I’m not sure it’s really all that close.

 

[detroitdad]

A... did I mention, A!

 

[ChrisArmyKnife]

Voted B because of the $1 chip! So cool!

 

[Huskerchipper]

For me....it's A by a mile. I wonder why...

...very similar usage of colors.

I love that you crowded the moons of the 20 500 and 2k together, makes for a fun crowding of spots and I hate that you didn't rotate the bounty to do the same!

Ya it's also interesting no one did a white $1 and some of the other choices like B's chocolately frac and F's charcoal $25 are really neat

25c - A (F honorable mention)
$1 - D
$5 - B
$25 - A $100, murdered (D $100 murdered, honorable mention)
$100 - F

I think mine is ABDDF, will mess around with snipping the photos together cause curious to see some of these line ups rearranged. I think you're cheating murdering chips here lol

 

[FestiveKnight]

This did really work for inspiration juice! And look at all the saturn usage!

 

[FestiveKnight]

Bump! Let get some more votes!!

 

[fishandchips]

B because the 25c looks so tasty.

 

[TheRealStephen12]

A is more colorful than the others, which just feels brighter and happier to me.

A’s frac and $1 are quite bright but D feels the most colorful to me and I think if you squint a little, F is the “lightest” overall. A’s higher denoms are quite dark

F is lighter, but I’d still say that A is more colorful overall, despite individual chips being less colorful. I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy, I just like A the most.

Contrast contrast contrast. I had this problem with my original $1 Everleigh Chip. I thought the combination was beautiful on the screen, but the spots did not have enough contrast with the base. The purpose of spots for me is to be able to look up a stack and count the chips in the game. Think twice, because I think your $5 chips are all nice looking, but the none of the options have high contrast, so these spots are not going to help with ease of use in the poker game.

 

[Taghkanic]

So… Contest over?

 

[Sprouty]

I believe so?

 

[GodStillBlesses]

And when do they go on sale? Lol

 

[FestiveKnight]

Contest over!! Congrats @Taghkanic (A) for taking first and honorable mention to @Sprouty (F) who was only a couple votes behind. Good work also to @Cratty who made it into the top 4 (B), and I was submission D. As I said in the OP, I will continue to plot about specific prize but bragging rights alone hopefully have some value to you. I think @Taghkanic is one of the greats here and anyone who hasn't read his Hoyle Book Club design thread and is interested in chip design is missing out. And he knocked out his design super quick, getting it to me within like 12 hours of me posting the initial nomination/challenge.

If any folks wanna share thoughts on their design I'd love to hear em!

My design started with the $1 which I started with just slapping the primary colors onto the light blue base and immediately I got the sense to go in the direction of kind of childrens clothing/toys/etc. so the $100 actually came next and is supposed to invoke these carpets which I associate with my childhood. The rest of the denoms was about filling in around that with bright colors while keeping a kind of high contrast playfulness.

 

[Taghkanic]

FWIW, my idea was almost absurdly simple — just pick three spot colors for each chip in the same general family as its base color (which were themselves fairly conventional).

For example, the Dark Green chip got Green, Light Green and Dayglo Green spots. The spots were lighter than the base except on the Light Blue chip.
Using related colors on each chip made the process quicker since I did not have to worry as much about the rule of no duplicated colors.

The exception was the Charcoal chip, which got contrasting spots, just because I always liked that look, and I wanted the high denom to stand apart.

I enjoyed participating and seeing all the other ideas. I liked B a lot, with the white hundo, and having one spot be much lighter on each chip.
