I believe I'm going to get a set of custom hot stamped TR Kings. I've emailed Dennis my idea and he needs me to put it into Vector or Illustrator format. I'm checking to se if anyone here can help me out, below is my design, I did it in Publisher because I don't have another program (I've pretty much used up my free time and I'm not buying a program)

I'm going to get the chips with the custom stamp on one side and denom on the other. I wanted to get solid color chips with brighter than typical colors. I think this will be how it goes.

150 NCV Light Blue (going to do the hot stamp on both sides)
250 $1 White
250 $5 Orange
150 $25 Yellow

I obviously need to smooth out the palm tree

You can download a 30 day trial version of Illustrator from adobe.com Its big (400+ meg as I recall), so be prepared to wait a little bit for it to finish.

I could help you on illustrator maybe, shoot me a PM.

[STANK1000]

just a real quick example to give you an idea. can help you later and use the right font and size (and more detail on the tree) if you still need help

Awesome, thanks, the tree is cool, on a chip I just wanted a tropical tree and that works (it's only going to be 1/2" tall anyway) The font on the casino I'll have to check on, Las Vegas is in Tahoma I know that.

Now I'm torn if I want to just have an NCV set and hotstamp this on both sides... I have my Pharaohs for cash...I just hate the "how much is this chip?" confusion.

Anyone else interested in these chips, you'd have to like the design because I'm not about to have a billion polls, I just want a classy retro looking hotstamped clay chip. I'd consider buying more, I just don't want a million of them out there, it would be exclusive to a few thousand chips and it could go on any color chip. If enough folks get involved we could do denoms on the hotstamp (at $100 per die, there's need to be at least 5-8 people to make it worth while, I want low denoms $1, $5, $25). I was wondering, if I pay for a hotstamp does Dennis have the right to use it for other customers? I'm sure Palm imports would steal it...not that it's that great, but I want a LV chip that looks it could have come from the 60's.

i've never been a fan of having two different sides, so if they were my chips, i would go with one of the two you have here, with the image on both sides. just my opinion

The Font for the casino name is Agency FB, it's in my microsoft office suite.

Stank1000 beat me too it, but I was playing around a little bit and came up with this:


I made it in vector format through adobe illustrator if you need it as an .ai file.

Thanks, I like the font you have and I like the larger tree in Stanks pic, it fills the void better than my version. Another person at homepokertourney made a version as well with a different tree. Now I'm torn, torn like an old sweater.

[GabeManis]

Thats better than a new sweater.

Anyway - let me know if you need anything else.
