White magic design idea (1 Viewer)

[p5woody]

I started playing around with a design idea, feedback and suggestions are welcome. At this point is just a design for fun, but if I end up really liking the final design maybe it will turn into something. Also if there is enough interest maybe it will turn into a GB, who knows. Right now I have it mocked up on the ceramic card mold.

Hey Steve,

I don't know much about this chip brand. What molds are available? Is there any mold that is "fitting" to this design?

I like this version much better than one of the originals that you shared with me. I think when there is color matching, it has to be minimal. I think this nails it.

Is there a story/reason behind the "white magic" theme? or just a crazy, fun idea that popped into that creative mind of yours?

I love the one. I think its the highlight of the set. The five is also great, but again, that spot pattern feels over used. The progression from the 20 to the 100 feels weird. That doesn't mean that I don't like it. It means that I need to reflect on it for a few days.

The frac is the weakest chip in the lineup. I don't love gray based chips.

My comments are simply nitpicking (which is what I think that you want). Otherwise, I really like where this is headed.

It just looks “dark” to me for the theme it’s portraying. I got no suggestion for improvement except maybe a white label for white magic?

Fwiw this thread makes me really really nervous to reply in

I am personally okay with the 'dark' portrayal of the wizard. My thought was white magic/black magic is dependent on your perspective. If I use magic to win a hand against you in poker, I consider that good (white) magic and you would consider it bad (black) magic. So even though the words say white magic, it would be viewed as black magic.

Quick backstory for this idea: Not really sure when it started, but magic has been used to explain a lot of things in our house. So it has kind of become a running family joke when somebody doesn't want to explain how something happened. Magic is the go to answer.

White magic in the poker world=Phil Hellmuth.

I wouldn’t want any chips where the design invokes him, even if unintentionally

Pink frac for this one

Cool design Steve! I think I like the mockups with the blue $1 more, but they're both great.

Good to see a new design from your direction!

This is a sweet design, $1 is my fave. Look forward to following for any tweaks.
The label made me think of the villain in Princess & the Frog. he was also into dark magic.

This exactly. Except I mostly like Phil, so I’m good with it. Though, if we’re making Helmuth chips, they really should be tournament chips, not cash chips.

This, but with a pink frac! I like the start. “white magic” text could be a bit more prominent imo, but that’s a preference.

I’m not sure why but the shape of the $1 label isn’t working for me when mixed with the rest.

 

[Pinesol13]

any significance to the value of the cards he's "magicking" ?

 

[Chipnut]

When the group buy from Sub-Fly? Just kidding. Chips look great. Will be following.

Yeah, should really be an image of the Poker Brat, in his UB cap - maybe for the add-on.

Not a Helmuth fan, Woody...

 

[p5woody]

For all you Helmuth fans

 

[mtl mile end]

C'mon, you gotta admit the UB cap is more appropriate for White Magic.
