I like them! Edge spots on the 25 could contrast more.

I like them. I like the design and the color choices. I agree about the 25, a bit more contrast may be good.

I would assume that the faux mold "Art Deco" is customizable per order? Otherwise I would say that the text "Art Deco" is redundant. They scream Art Deco without being called it.

I like these!

Agree that the 24 might be better with more color contrast.

The "1" looks off-center. I realize that it's centered correctly, but my eye wants it moved a little to the left so that the stem of the 1 is centered.

What will the rolling edges look like? Do you envision an aligned chip?

These look fantastic!

oldschool. me like.
feels like it should be a casino in bioshock. geek alert!

[ellased]

perhaps changing the "mold?" something else instead of art deco?
it's a bit akin to having a lamp with the words "this is a lamp" on it. no?

[ellased]

may i ask what the background in the inlay is? it's naturally art deco, but my ignorant brain fails to comprehend.

Thanks for the first feedback. Wonderful if they scream Art Deco, that was the purpose. I can mock up the 25 a little and add more contrast. The faux mold can be removed, it is in a different layer. The one should be in center, it might show that it isn't, b/c of the font characteristics. However it can be moved a little bit to left.

The chips will be with aligned edges, meaning that the base of the layout must be vice versa (mirror image) on the other side of the chip. They should look awesome in stacks, very asymmetrical. I have tried to select the colors so, that the chips can be recognized easily from each other, when stacked.
The background is a side photograph of an Art Deco statue I owned.

Man, do I love bright colours and do I love Art Deco? Frak yeah!

Yeah I'd drop the 'art deco' from the faux mold, it really doesn't relate to the chips in any way. Its not the name of a casino or card room or anything so its kind of a non-sequitor. Other than that, very cool original design! (what a refreshing thing that was to type!)
