Want to design the chips for my wedding? (Chipco)

Although I am capable, and I am currently working on some ideas, I thought it would be fun to tap some of the incredible talent on this board.

Details:

Manufacturer
- Chipco

Theme/Name
- "Half Moon Card Room" or something like that using "Half Moon"

Specifics
- Needs to have "Established May 20, 2007" on the chip face.
- Location "Montego Bay, Jamaica"

Denoms
- Pink - NonDenom
- Lt. Blue - $1
- Yellow - $5
- Purple - $25
- White - $100

I really like the look of this chip, if that helps get the ideas flowing.....

Not sure what the proper compensation is for this, but obviously a full sample set will be given to the artist. Other than that, you tell me.

Thanks!!

With a name like "Half Moon" I think you have to have the moon in there.

I'll see if I can come up with any cool ideas.

Do I smell or something?

I have some ideas, just been out of town a lot lately. I'll see if I can come up with anything. Are these going to be chipco's? ABC? NJ? BRPro? (so I can get the right face dimensions.)

Here's attempt #1. Are you wanting to do a Crest on the top? if so what would you like it to look like? I took some creative liberty here and drew half moon in the sky.

I'm not sure about the font. I haven't had a chance to go out and look for a simialr font to what they used. Just wanting your feed back on the way it's going.

The ovals still need to be worked on...

We are friends with the owners, so I am sure that I could get permission to use it, but I think I would prefer a crest with "H and M" in it like the "C and R" on the original.

Awesome work so far, Thank You!!

No problem. I'll have to go on a font hunt.

I'll work on it some more tonight and see what I can do with a crest. I didn't even think about checking to see if there was a logo for the resort, just thought that would look cool...

I did this REALLY fast, and threw the Fleur De Lis in just to fill the space where the crest could go, but I might like something like these lions worked in there.
