Taj Mahal Lookalikes

JT-Bird · #1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2007, 04:57 PM

I just picked up a few hundred Taj Mahal $1 chips and I think I'd like to use the theme to make a couple Blue Chip denominations but I need some design help.

Here is the $1 Inlay

I want to make a .25, .50, $2, $5 inlay and replace "TRUMP" with "TROIA" and replace "Taj Mahal" with "Card Room". I obviously would like to keep the logo as close as possible.

FYI... The inlay on the $1 chip is pretty small. Its 7/8 round and the logo has a fair amount of white space around it....

Can someone help? Let me know here or PM me. Thanks All!

I'm not undertanding exactly what you're wanting to do. Are you wanting to order some chips with custom inlays to match this set, only with the changes you described, or are you wanting to label the chips you've got?

I want to order some custom blue chips with a similar inlay.

I'll see what I can come up with... Just my opinion, but that would look awesome as a hot stamp.

Sounds like a good idea all together, I am thinking of doing something like this in the future. (Not with the Taj though).
Any particular reason that you want the chip to say Troia?

Be aware that BC will not make a chip (body, spots, or inlay) that could be mistaken for an live casino's chip. Clear what you want with them before you get too deep into this.

I think he's going to use the Taj ones, and just want's a set of customs to compliment them. Shouldn't be a problem as long as he doesn't copy their edgespots/colors.

Well if you look at how much trouble they had trying to do the PNY commems, you may want to talk to BCC first to see how different you'll need to be, or you may be spinning your wheels.

Here's version 1 of the mockup:

The "CARD ROOM" font isn't real close and the roof colors need tweaked. The right side of the roof also need a little tweak. Other than that, let me know what you think.

thanks,
