I remember looking at your mock ups that you were going to do with BCC. At that time I thought they would be easily one of the best looking custom set ever. Then you decided to go with ASM and saw your new mock up with fewer edge spots (than BCC). I still loved the inlay but thought the edge spots were so-so.
Then I see your pr0n and I think they came out Spectacular. As posted above, "the chips evar." I like all of them. What a classy set of poker chips. Then your description of the chips and how you went into great detail to explain it all to us, great job.
Now I have to pick a favorite, where does one start.
I like them all, from the colors to the edge spots but since I need to pick one or two....
...Okay, Okay, I'll pick a chip or 2!
The T100 because of the edge spots and the T500 because I love the the 3U.

Chips: 408 | | | Re: ~~~~~~~OLD ORCHARD Poker Room - ASM - (Lots of Chips, Lots of Pics) I love the quarter, too. The T25 with DG Green makes me think of green apples, so that's the most fitting chip with your orchard theme. Just an awesome set in its entirety.
The most striking part of the design, IMO, is the thin color-coded gradient ring around the inlay that goes from the tan background to the chip's base color. It makes the chip look so cohesive & professional. I'm highly impressed. It's like Machinelf found an old apple crate and pasted the logo directly on a chip and then tied it together with the coded gradient. Brilliant.
Man, enjoy your chips! |

Brilliant. | I know, this is one of the true beauties of the set, IMO. The inlay was done fantastically. It's a subtle gradient, but it's exactly the type of look I was hoping for. Great work my machinelf on the concept, I hadn't thought of using a color matched gradient until he sent a mockup. |

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Drew was great to work with, and it was his keen eye and guidance that really helped the design come together. And his edgespot designs are stellar! It's wonderful to see them produced at long last.  |
