Zombies in the Air (1 Viewer)

I still really like the full-color zombie. That image juxtaposed with the really classy gold is striking and funny.

A zombie chip just wouldn't be an authentic Zombie chip without the signature Zombie image, imo..... no matter how good a different (all-gold, for example) image or layout may be.

option 2 and it isn't even close. I want a green zombie on any zombie chip.

Agree with both. It’s #2 for me all day.
 
Do you want to zombie to stand out or be a subtle nod? Kind of odd because the chips are probably not the focus and almost anything to keep you eyes away from them might be a good thing. I guess if these were on sun-fly hybrids or almost any other relabeled chip I’d go all gold. This one I might lean towards the green zombie. Quality chip, gold all the way so the chip is the star.

Very good point - The label is the star here, not the effectively free chip. At this point, I think the Colored ACZ is the leader in that series.

As I pointed out earlier, I have other concepts to work through as well. So I'mma going to backburner the ACZ chips for a moment, and roll put up options for the Zombie Airlines series. Zombie in a pilot's uniform, and the fonts are the same as Southwest airlines.

Zombie Air, Simple Blue

Zombie Air, Southwest:

And finally Zombie Air, Clouds.

Additionally if your going the other way why not make it look like an airline logo?

Quickly off the top of my head you could have the Z & A interlocking

I get what you're going for, but after looking at literally hundreds of airline logos, over the years there have been exactly zero that the corporate name and the word "airways" overlapped. Since I fly near exclusively on Southwest (and the table was made to match Southwest tables dimensions), the Southwest logo made the most sence - which is simple and perhaps boring.

Birds and wings are pretty common in logos, but I was struggling with fitting a Zombie with wings on the chip with room for denom and title. Chip art is a special challenge.
 
Minor nitpick but ordinarily a triple bar pilot (i.e. first officer) would not have scrambled eggs on his hat. To the best of my knowledge most airlines reserve them for full captains who would also have four bars on their shoulder epaulets. I realize there may be artistic compromises at play here too so take it for what it's worth.
 
Are these for inlays or full-sized printing on ceramics? If it's larger, maybe you could incorporate the tail of the plane and put the zombie on the tail. It would be great to see an actual Southwest plane with a zombie pilot on the tail. :D

Kind of missing my point. I was stating that along with the text you could make it a logo. The interlocking ZA was just a quick thought. As you mentioned you thought about the Southwest logo so make it a green belly instead of a red belly. Or as mentioned above the tail art is the zombie head.

United, Delta, Air Canada, South African Airways and yes even Southwest all have their logo include their name. Even your first draft of the ACF has a logo and name (which also has the zombie jammed in there). I was just saying you could come up with a logo instead of plain text.

Relabels of the WPT chips in Post #1. I haven't sent off sample labels to @Gear for measuring yet, and I don't have a micrometer, but ballpark we have 1.030" diameter to work with. The Zombie is replicated on the table, so that will be immediately recognisable, but everything else is going to be tiny.

I really thought Redbelly would have been the only one to notice the Zombie's demotion. I only caught it after I rendered the image (i.e. after it was too late to make it an easy fix), but the bars are each 0.012" wide and 0.047" long when rendered at scale. I'll call that close enough and if anyone ever questions it, I will have a different joke to come-back with.
 
Now for the final concept. Many of the Zombie chips have been derived from casino chips (WSOP, Paris) but this one takes off (no pun intended) from a certain Hall of Fame design. I would want @Redbelly approval for these before I produced them, but mock-ups are the most sincere form of flattery, right? :coffee:

Anyway, which of these are worthy of more work?

Mixing and matching is eazy enough to do, and the Green 'Z' needs work, but you get the ideas. What say you?
 
Bottom one looks good. I appreciate the subtle nod. Have to say it took me a minute to figure out the 3rd one as I thought it was a fist at first.
 
I am still back to the original #1 as favorite, just clean up the zombie with finer lines and pixels, not that I know a damn thing about design or art.

This is my wife's and my favorite of the three concepts. We both like the red "Zombie Airlines" with the color zombie. Second place is the black/gold with color zombie. Great concept!
 
I like the last one of the new mockups, looks like you're going on a weird trip with the different colors on the plane.

I agree--IMO, the pilot zombie should be on whatever design he chooses. I actually popped in to suggest this.

Good suggestions, easy updates.

Redbelly design with "room" changed to Airways.

Can also do "Tour", it's just a touch of typing. However "Poker Tour" feels a bit... for lack of a better term... common?
 
Agreed. ZPA is a decent second choice, but pales in comparison with the ACZ design.
