New ASM Help Wanted: I can't design a $25 chip to save my life...

GabeManis · #1 (**permalink**) 04-09-2006, 07:29 PM

Hey guys - I am planning on a making a small order of new ASMs on top of the group buy chips that should be in this next week. I am making a fairly simple design similar to the KGB chips (without a bear, another image instead). However, I need help figuring out what kind of $25 chip fits into this set. Please feel free to post your thoughts on what chip you think belongs in my set. Continuity is the main concern. Here is what I have so far (minus my bad attempts at a $25 chip), thanks a lot!

Well, the scheme looks like a cross between the Palmas and Rounders chips.

The actual Rounders chips were:

White 414 DG Pink
Red 414 DG Yellow
Green 414 DG Peach
Black 414 DG Green
Purple 614 Arc Yellow

And they look very nice. If you don't want Peach, DG Pink works well with Green, as a 314 or 414 in your set.

OR 314

Yeah, try a 314 pattern for the 25, it should flow well.

Try orange or brown for the spots.

Why not try a 314, that should fit in fine.

I agree with 314. I like green with DG pink.

The Rounders 25 was green with a DG peach, and the 500 was purple with arc yellow. Just some info

**EDIT** - K nevermind the colors were posted with the pics, thanks SpaceMonkey!

Well, this is the 3rd attempt of mine to respond to your comments. Chiptalk hasn't been cooperating with me. Your responses are helping though. The sum of all my replies is something like, "Do you guys think the 212 of the red $5 will drown out the small 314 of the green $25 if I go that route?"

Similarly, if I went with 312 (which seems to be tabboo now with all the new options), would the 414 be drowned out?

Thanks for all the responses (I wasn't expecting Space Monkey to correctly ID the sources for my $5, $100, and $500 so quickly! Good Job, haha).

Heh. Have you seen the pics of my chips I received last year? Do a search in the picture gallery, and you may see a similar theme...

And as to your questions, I don't think either the 314 or 312 would drown out the preceeding or following chips. I'd still go for the 314, with all the current options 312 is now my least favorite pattern.

It looks like your current 25 base is light green. I like white with that base (or maybe even chocolate) like CnC posted. If you go with Green as your base, then DG Peach or DG Pink are (again IMO) your best options with this set.
