OK, finally figured out how to post a picture. lol

I am new to the site and it's been very helpful.
My questions are:

1.do you guys think that this picture will come out good on a custom chip, or is it too detailed for such a small print?

and

2. can i get different label for each side of a nexgen lucky bee?

I had designed a label around a family shield not that long ago. Had some issues, it tends to be taller than it is wide (just look at your picture) so you will have a lot of white space on the sides and be cramped top to bottom, if you try to adjust it to remedy that issue either significant changes will need to be made, you will have to go simpler, or the aspect ratios will get all out of wack and won't look all that great. Also, you will barely be able to read whatever is written in the scroll along to bottom if at all.

That is going to be really busy. I think that maybe you could take part of this and dumb it down a bunch. Maybe you can capture some of it and make it into something cool.

Thank you for your input.

Yea i figured it would take some effort to make it look right.

Also that's why i was wondering if u can get 2-sided nexgen lucky bees.
I figure i can have just the crest alone on one side, and do the denominations and the name McCarthy's on the other side(so it doesnt really matter to me wether u can read that little scroll) just as long as the picture fits right and doesent look cramped, or too tiny and indistinguishable.

Is there anyone out there that can make one of those little sample preveiws with my picture??

It would be greatly appreciated

Here is one that i just found and cut off the top and bottom scrolls.
this one is more "centered" and would probly work a whole lot better

Of your "alternatives" I like this one best....

Perhaps you could just build your design around that red stag and the name.

I could see a really nice classic looking chip with that stag as an "icon" instead of the whole crest being used. (Similar to the rounders KGB bear chip)

It IS your chip afterall, and the stag is a part of it...

Just a thought.
