Chips: 30 | | | Qube's Lounge & Casino - Opinions? I'm trying to show a little artistic flavor without making the design too busy. I've had a bunch of iterations, and here's what I've finally come up with. Any thoughts?  |

Chips: 12,507 | | | Re: Qube's Lounge & Casino - Opinions? Very nice - I think they look great and are not too busy. The only thing I would recommend , and this is pretty trivial, is experimenting with the denominations because they are kind of small. Maybe rotate the denomination 90 degrees and put it in the middle of the Q? Might make it too cluttered, but it might work. If not, I would leave it the way it is.
Well done.

Chips: 30 | | | Re: Qube's Lounge & Casino - Opinions? I tried a few ways to make the denomination stand out. The denom in the center of the Q looks too busy, and making the font different while still placing it on the border looks funky. I think this one works, though.  |

Not that these are any better but maybe they'd give you ideas for other options although I sure you consider alot...
Works as is but it'd be nice to have the denom a little larger.
The Q is very cool... is Qube you last name?
Nice design.

Chips: 2,139 | | | Re: Qube's Lounge & Casino - Opinions? If you really are getting these as labels for the lucky bees, you could leave the Q entirely on its own on one side, and then, in the same font as the Q, have the denom on the other side.
Or maybe, Just the Q with the denom repeated, say five times round the edge, but with no other text, and then the big denom and the 'Qube's lounge' stuff on the other side. |

Chips: 30 | | | Re: Qube's Lounge & Casino - Opinions? Alright,
I guess the best option here is to do a denom side as well. The front will be basically the same (sans the denom text), but I made new artwork for the back... 
The only thing keeping me away from the "print" button is that the Q is rather large on the front, but the text is smaller, for the single digit denoms on the back, and I don't want to make the single digits larger in size than the double or triple (I'm being way too anal about this  )..
I'm gonna try and "thicken" the numbers a bit to see if I can get more red on the denom side. |

Either way great design.

Chips: 500 | | | Re: Qube's Lounge & Casino - Opinions? Great work. I like having the denom on the back of the chip so no one will be asking the question "how much are the red ones?"
