Hi Everyone-

We're working on a new poker chip design would like to hear any feedback you might have regarding the design! The theme is Casino Avion, and at this point we are very early in the design process. These chips would be available as custom poker chips with your own text, denoms, etc.

Thanks,
Gene

They look nice and clean. The triangles on the side remind me of elevator buttons, and I don't care for those (I'd remove them personally). Good start. I'd like to of course see a different edge spot progression, but I would imagine that would be worked on later.

I dunno, these are kind of close to the Aviation Club chips:

Here.

And these chips that I made as samples to commemorate my trip there:

Here.

I like them though. GL with them.

Don't forget THESE

Actually, they don't even look too similar, but seems like the market is already saturated with "aviator" type themes

They almost look too close to Matty's, maybe change the airplane type and edge-spots.

I have to agree that they have that "been there done that" look

Wait a minute.... Vilonev is not a city in France. It sounds like a russian city.
You could use another name like Enguien-les-bains, Deauville, Vichy, which are real cities who has Casinos.

Gene,

These are nice, but they don't look as clean and "professional" as a lot of what you produce. These look a little like they were made too quickly without enough thought to the finishing touches that make a good chip classy. They look too mass-produced I can only see these as a tourney set for someone who is a step above the eBay crap but not in the neighborhood of Chipco or Paulson.

Personally, I would go with a large plane and make the denominations smaller and offset. Or go with a larger denomination only in the middle and put small planes where the "elevator buttons" are now. That might be interesting to mock up and play around with.

Great concept but you can do much better. It doesn't stand out the way it is now and I don't see many buyers without some changes.

Thanks,
-Sparky
