ASM Inlay X14 Buy - URGENT HELP NEEDED!

jadillon · #1 (**permalink**) 01-14-2006, 12:21 AM

HELP!!! Have had two "design teams" separately working on inlay designs. Got the first concept drafts back and fear much work is needed. Need help fast as I am in the X14 group buy! Thanks in advance. No pride of authorship here.

Want something fairly classic. Maybe that befits a 50s 60s H Mold ASM Chip. Gave them chip examples, told them Irish theme (Dillon's Poker Lounge & Pub), 4 leaf clover, leprechaun, etc. Gave them pictures of old chips and my Pharaoh's as good examples. Tried to explain need for large clear denominations, etc. Got back these from one team:

Got a lot of stuff back from the other team, but it is not as close to what I want, but some concepts were interesting:

I am seeking any advice on how to proceed. Actually, the pot of gold rainbow idea is intriguing. I wonder if it could be done as a graphic above a centered Dillon's with a denomination below. Thoughts?

Relax, just place the order, the inlay will come shortly after. Take your time and make sure the inlay is something u wont regret

Thanks Fins. That is a great take on these ideas. I'm very impressed. The clean lines and simplicity of design is just what I am looking for.

Good advice. I just wanted to make sure that I had a solid concept, 'cause nothing I had gotten like it was working out. I just wanted some other ideas so that I've got a good idea that I will get something that will work. Time to order next week. Thanks.

You could try something with your family crest as a watermark maybe?

With Fins help, I think I have the inlay worked out. It's a real throwback, but I like it (of course). Do any CTers have any last minute thoughts/suggestions???

The final denominations are not lined up in the mocks below. Grey 214 is now $1, and Blue is always NCV. Green is always $25. Lavender Plain is 25 cents and I got rid of the 5 cent denomination (can use NCV in a pinch for 5 or 10 cents with the family) thanks to the advice of CTers.

All design credit to Fins, not me.
