I'm about to place my order with ASM and wanted to get a little feedback in the short time I have before the deadline. This set is for cash only.



I am thinking of using this image as the basis of the inlay. I plan to change the colors to more closely match each chip, and they will be denoms. Any suggestions or comment are especially appreciated on the inlay design.



Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.

You'd probably be better off letting Sandy (ASM artist) do the color matching, since what you see on your screen may not be the same as what you end up with in hand.

Absolutely, I just wanted to note that so people would know what direction I am heading with the concept.

Actually I also want to know if any of you have any experience with istockphoto.com? That is where the image is from, and I am unsure whether or not I'm allowed to use it for an inlay on chips or not (I HAVE purchased the image). I emailed them a week ago and have not heard back.

Bump. Anyone have any criticism, comments, or advice?

I guess to be safe you would want to hear from the company, since they might have some crazy limitations with what the images can be purchased for. But generally speaking, you purchased an image and you should be able to use it personally for anything you wish. You aren't going to be selling these chips commercially (are you?), so there shouldn't be any problem.

Just my take....

Thanks for the reply. I just heard back from them and you are correct they said I can use the image as I wish so long as I don't sell the chips commercially.

Howd you get the chipstack feature working in the chip tool?

I like your color choices. can't wait to see final designs! Can't wait to see finished chips.

I didn't. I used photoshop to "create" the stacks. I wanted to see what they would look like 20 deep.

Yeah I just took screen shots from this site and "stacked" copies in photoshop to create the 20 chip stacks.
