Do you guys want a two-day run-off vote between the #1 and #7 since they are so close?

#1


#2

[noelsarchs]

Hate to be the first one to rain on everyone's parade but the only really good chip is the #2 black with the 1/8 pink and blue spots. I would absolutely not buy any other chip here no matter what the inlay looked like IMHO. Not even if they were .10 each. I just can't get into these at all for the most part.

Can you vote AGAINST both sets?

I am under the impression (have been all along) that we are voting more along the lines of overall design rather than colors, no? I tried to keep that in mind, as I don't care for the overall color scheme of either set.

Holy cow, you guys are impossible! So far, these two sets have garnered the top number of votes (out of three rounds of voting), regardless of whether or not YOU like them, some people around here might. All this negative feedback probably could have been put to good use a few rounds ago... Anyways, I'm not sure what we're going for here, I just know that I like #1.

I'm still trying to figure out how it's even possible that #2 got past the first round of polls. No offense meant, but I think it's just beyond hideous. I've got to agree 100% with noelsarchs' post. Hope something changes to get me interested in these chips again.

sorry, but i've made my opinions regarding these various designs all along...so i'm just reinforcing what i've said all along, but not without making comments about what I would like as well as produced a number of options as well. And I still don't like them and see no need to just sit back and give up just because these two received the most votes.

There are just way too many variables to properly judge one from the other and I did not do a lot of campaigning to get votes either.

And I've been a designer for over 30 years and have entered a number of local and international design competitions in my time which is why I see this competition format/process as less than ideal.

Right. We can tweak the colors ina couple of days, but what we want is a general idea of what the group wants for a theme, and then the inlay artists can build an inlay.

We want all the colors to remain the same during inlay submissions, so as not to give anyone an unfair advantage by choosing different colors. In the later phases of the Inlay Stage, the artists can tweak colors, but not at the beginning.

I like set #2. However, I do not like the tan chip - edgespots are fine, but colors ... no? What's more, I prefer the red chip from set #1 to the red from set #2. Other than that... #2 is fine.

My vote goes to #2. I just like the progression of the edgespots more than #1. I guess we will be tweaking the colours in the future so that is not an issue at the moment.
