Help! --Looking for slightly modified WSOP type chip

peteshaw · #1 (**permalink**) 03-02-2007, 08:09 AM

Hello All,

I understand the creativity cannon, but I really like the clean look of the WSOP chips. Here is what I would like to do.

Starting from the WSOP design, I would change the World Series of Poker to 'Leesburg Poker Series'.

Change Las Vegas, NV to Leesburg, VA.
Use LPS for the script logo.
Drop the all suites hotel and casino line.
Shade the background of the chip with a light shade of the appropriate olor.

Am I being too derivative in my design, or is this reasonably different enough?

I have been noodling around in Inkscape, and I have had so-so results. Everything I do just seems sort of amateurish. Help! I am really just looking for a simple, classic design.

My second question involves all of this free help being offered in this forum. What can I offer in return for any help? Tech support? Heartfelt gratitude? Chip pr0n?

Anyway, I have enjoyed lurking in this forum for a few weeks now and it is a wonderful resource full of fine people and I thank you all in advance.

--Pete

EDIT -- I have attached what I have been able to hack out so far using Inkscape. Exporting from Inkscape into Sure Thing Office Labeler seems to be giving me jaggies for some reason though.

Hi Pete,

I'm pretty sure that some of the vendors in the marketplace here offer a customised WSOP chip. You should check them out.

Welcome aboard.

Just to clarify, I am looking to print my own labels at this point, for faux clay or nexgens, and I hope to go the full custom route later on when my budget allows it.

Replica labels like the WSOP chip centers is a con do.
