creating a 50 cent chip to match my incoming PNY cash set

TheDuke · #1 (**permalink**) 09-09-2006, 01:24 AM

I am utterly useless at trying to create anything artistic and was wondering if there's anyone who could help out a chip nerd?

I'm looking to get some ceramic chips done up to go along with my PNY set. I want a 50 cent chip. Ideally, it'll have some sort of NY landmark as the photo - I was thinking the Federal Reserve or NY Stock Exchange.

The 'inlay' would cover the entire face of the chip and the rolling edge would just be a solid color.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Nice idea. Looking forward to seeing some mockups. By the way, here is my 25¢

Hey Dwight, that's a great idea. If this doesn't pan out I may have to copy you and use that chip for my 50 center. Thanks!

I could set up a 50 cent chip... should not take THAT long...

Does anyone know what Fonts have been used on the PNY's? Otherwise I take a shot in the dark....

Excellent, are you creating a label or is this going to be a ceramic chip? Looks awesome.

That looks great!

Another idea is to use an image of the NY Stock Exhange or Times Square.

Any possibility of making a $1000 version also in yellow and allow those of us who can't afford the $30+ price of the actual $1,000 chips to jump in and buy some?
