[Sidepot]

Here are the design submissions, arranged and numbered loosely in alphabetical order according to each submitters ChipTalk ID. Most of these were submitted without names, so we'll name them as we go along with the artist getting first shot and if they need halp from the board, we'll open it up.

Here they are:

Submission A
Submitter: Extraholes
Design Name: Jester



*****************************

Submission B
Submitter: DoubleDeuce
Design Name: TBD

These are your 7 contestants in the rolling edge design portion of the Epiphany contest. All 7 of these designs will be added to the ceramic chip design tool, and one lucky winner will receive a customized set of 300 Epiphany chips for their winning submission. We'll give these a day for discussion, and then start the voting tomorrow.

I can see the designs, so maybe yes.

I like the variety here. But in the interests of starting discussion, I'll make a comment.

There was some discussion in the earlier thread about denominations versus no denominations along the rolling edge, and I think in the end, that just comes down to personal preference (and we've got a few options for both here). But one thing that I know I struggled with was orientation. After all, unless you're obsessively stacking your chips one by one, if you've got denominations, half of them are likely to be upside down. Now I suspect that's not something most people spend time thinking about, but for my design, I tried to address that by alternating the design orientation.

Where I particularly noticed the orientation issue here was on JumpingJack's design. It doesn't have a denomination on it, but does have artwork that has a definite orientation (and I like the incorporation of Sidepot's signature cigar and snifter). So what do people think? Single orientation even if half of them end up upside-down? Or varying orientation -- which still leaves half upside down, but guarantees at least some correct orientation on every chip?

Just rambling, but I wanted to start some critique...

I sent sidepot a different, but similar design that would would not have and up or down orientation, you might see it in the tool, I do not know. But after playing cards in my local card room, I do see people stacking there chips in a perfect patern. So may be if the chips are design to be orientated one way, that will give some people something to do.

It is a nice though, and if needed, I am sure that we could tweek our designs a little to make them that way. What about the chips that have two different lables?

[DoubleDeuce]

I don't think it would be too much trouble to adjust current designs for an alternating orientation. Probably something Sidepot can just code into the mock-up program. I personally don't care if people want to create a different orientation with my own design. In fact I hope everyone understands that the "25" denomination is just a marker and doesn't mean everyones' chips are all $25 or cents or whatnot .

I do think that Jumping Jack's very cool design would look even better with an alternating cigar & sifter.

Sorry for the delay in getting to voting. Should give the tool makers a few more days to get the designs into the tool, at least.

Let's start the voting!

Varying. Ship it!
