Waiting for Patrick from homepokerchips.com to get back to me with my proofs.
I am leaning toward a two sided design with these images, although I have not decided for sure.

Is that effect intended to give the chips a textured 'clay-like' look?
Looks good.

Yeah, I like the new textured background. My initial thought was that it may be a little much having the suits on the outside border and the inside background, but it still looks good.
I still like the two sides. Does the "CI" need to be on both sides, or just the one? I'm guessing it's where it is to offset the Est. 1982 on the opposite side. But how about making the CI light gray like the suit outlines so it blends more into the background?

J5 | Nope. It is some sort of artifact that appeared when I converted CorelDRAW to jpg.
Not a bad look though.
CI one side only. I need to adjust the color quite a bit. I really didn't worry about color too much because there is a relatively limited pallete to choose from and I figured the graphic artists at chipco could choose better than I could.
There maybe too many suits. I need something to separate the top text from the bottom.
If I stay with the suits I may do clubs only (one per side?) on red, diamonds on green, heats on black, spades on purple, and all four on yellow. . . decisions, decisions.

Leonard | well whatever you finally decide, they're sure to turn out great...BTW, now that i see the design on your avatar that is closer to a 100% image, the suits in the background blend in nicely, imho...

Here is my first proof from homepokerchips.com.
There are two other possible versions headed my way, but I don't have them yet.
Thoughts:
-- Is the font too "thick", will the letters blend together?
-- Should I dump the "fade" to simplify things and make the suit pattern more visible?
-- What do you think of the edgespots?

Your workis done my son
I think you have hit on the right combo. Those look sweet
If you have a real bar you might want to print a variation to use as buisness cards too  Maybe back to design number 3. But these are your playing chips absolutly
