Ideas needed for NEXGEN label

Pex657 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-19-2007, 06:49 PM

I got a sample set of Lucky Bees and River Poker Tour. I think I am going to go with the Lucky Bees, but some of the colors of river tour stand out more to me than the bee one(the white chip mostly). I am of Ukrainian origin and would like to use the Ukrainian coat of arms on the poker chip.

I want this set to be used for cash game and tournament games so the dollar sign is not needed. I have messed around with some ideas in photoshop, but nothing stands out for me.

If any one has and design ideas or just and personal knowledge they would like to share about Bees vs. Poker tour please post!

Thanks,

I went with Bee as they didn't has any text around the outside like the other NEXGEN chips. What denoms were you thinking of having?

For the denominations I was thinking about having Red - 5, Blue - 10, Green - 25, Black - 100, white - 500. Then maybe a NCV.

That is the main reason why the Bees are standing out.

I'm told the Rivers stack better than the Bees but I like the look of the Bees better.

You prolly don't need a 10 denom chip if you're having 5s.

I know that there is really no reason to have a 10 denomination, but I have always liked 10 denom chips. The bees do look better.

The requested denoms done with colour matching for Bees:

Let me know what you think.

I really really really ... ... .. .. . . . . . .... really like the font for the numbers.
Is there any way to maybe have the crest as a type of water mark.. in the background of the chip and have the denomination covering some parts or will that make it look bad.

They look amazing!

The first one look better! Do you think anything else needs to be added Blake?

The first designs was actually the second version and the second the first if that makes sence? With the colour matching the watermarking effect doesn't really work, it usually looks best on a white background and a single colour design/object.

Less is more in this case, maybe see what some other CTer's think.
