I think the "H" should be in a contrasting color and should stand out.

I'd play with it to see if it looks better in front of or behind the horseshoe.

I might consider a black rose centered on the bottom with a date though that gap might be pefect for a denom.

I might put some lines (as opposed to dots) around the horseshoe to add some detail.

I'd look for some better software... haven't messed with it but you could bring out the gimp (http://www.gimp.org/).

I like the look... it's coming along!

I am with fins here. Contrasting H, maybe just a different shade? That gap at the bottom is definitely a great place for a denom. Are you still planning two different faces?? If so I would put the denom on one side, the white one, then a rose on the black one, maybe signifiying death and all.


Just some thoughts.

alright... dled gimp and it confused me... because i am illiterate to the comp. graphic design... i am only an old fashioned artist with a pencil and paper haha... can anyone help me with implementing these ideas to my design i have going?
and i personally like the color combos i have going... or a slight variation of the grey black white and red.

I can try... or at least get you further along maybe...

found a horseshoe and a rose I like if you still like that route... couldn't match the "The" & "Club" font but thought this looked ok. The background H is too hidden I think and the denom might be a little small (you may have mentioned no denom, can't remeber).

Did these up in Photoshop. What chips again are you wanting to label??

Here are two... with & without the "H" bkg...



FWIW - You can probably find a 30day trial of PS or Illustrator.

Well there was a reason for the Backround H... i was trying to Recreate this logo with enough difference that it doesnt infringe too much on TM

but as soon as Harrahs gets back i will know what i can and cant do... and i am going the non-denom way... also the chips i am labeling are the ASM HH chips and i used MS Paint... i dont have PS or even the skills to work in PS.... i just dled the Gimp and it confuses me haha

In the mean time just for fun...



I know you can have problems having text on the outside wrap... not refering to my unskilled version but rather centering issues... just something to keep in mind.

I did notice the horseshoe here is the same one you used earlier and someone did have one more similar to the one on the chip.

Good luck & keep us posted.

Very Nice Fins.... but i am looking to make the H wider like in the picture and maybe a black outline to go with the horseshoe.... and i need a different color combo... like Black and Red or DG Yellow and Red.... also i know i cant use the World Series of Poker without consent...
