I feel this is a much better submittion than my last. I choose to keep the Casino color theme going with the $5000. It would be silly to get all the colors matched and not choose the classic "Chocolate Chip".

Ten - Not trying to step on anyone's toes here, just trying to help simplify the process.

I like FL70's idea of trying to simplify it.. but maybe we should go the other direction- ie, pick a spot progression pattern, and then let everyone run with that, so that when it comes to color comparison, at least the patterns will all be the same.. right now it is almost dizzying seeing all the different colors & patterns..

so, here's my idea for spot progression, done in black and shades of gray.

first 4 chips- tri-spotted; 2nd 4 chips- quad-spotted
first 2 chips- single color; next 5 chips- 2 colors, 8th chip- 3 colors

Here is my submission:

I like the black and white progressions between chip 6 and 7, but between 1 and 2 is a bit chunky.

I like how it looks in black and white, but when you add colors I think it will break down.

I've deviated from the 'standard' oranges, yellows, and chocolates for the high denoms. Those colors are just too widespread IMO. However, those colors are free for an extra chip...

If you've read "The professor, the banker & the suicide King" then you'll see the chip references to the white 'flag' and the dark red 'cranberry'.

The red 5/cranberry 5000 is a subtle repetition of color and denomination. This also is evident in the white $1000 'flag' (since white is usually the ).

I see what you're saying and persnally don't thinks it such a bad idea, but I don't think that for promoting it commercially it's such a great idea and most likely Sidepot would veto it relative to an 8-color set. To be clear - I'm not saying we shouldn't consider it, just that we shouldn't spend too much time considering it.

I second these. Some good combos there. And it keeps pink off the green and purple.

I second Zathras dual progression system. Helps for those doing a cash game and a large tourney set. I also believe that getting edgespots down woul dhelp tremendously with 50 billion people submitting 5-20 submissions a piece.

Concern noted. However, I think the only reason a chip would be vetoed is because the colors and edgespots would exactly match another 'real casino' chip, not becasue a general color scheme is followed.

In this case, the white and cranberry chips are just white and red chips. If the edgespots are unique, then it should be all good.

I'm seeing a lot of use of the light blue, dolphin blue, etc. I like how some of them look, but I'm concerned about how well that fits in with the overall "feel" the set is supposed to have. It's class, luxury, opulence. To me, the darker colors do a better job of selling that feel while the brighter colors lend themselves more to a "fun" set I guess.

A comparison:
