NEXGEN "Poker Monkey" Chip Design

BlakeC27 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-27-2006, 03:12 AM

Here are final (hopefully) designs:

And chip mock-ups:

A standardised design as the labels will be used as a tournament chip.
Play on words from the 2005 WSOP replicas "Championship Poker Series" vs. "ChImpionship Poker Series "keeping with the theme of the chip "Poker Monkey".

Any comments, feedback or suggestions are most welcome.

They do look good.. this mockup is wicked. Denom is good size. The crowns would not fit?

Nice work man

Nice work man

To to honest with you Str8 I'm still in two minds about the crowns and what to put in the text around the outside. The crowns seem a little OTT and what I think is the right text seems to change from day to day. Usually jump between the following:

Tournament Series (wth the crowns).
Tournament Pro Series.
Poker Pro Series.
Chimpionship Poker Series.
Tournament King (with the Crowns).

Any suggestions on text for the outside are welcome.

I have to say I like the Chimpionship Poker Series... at first I did not even notice the chimp part... kind of sneaks up on ya... which is why I like it I guess.. the crowns were nice but like you say don't really need them... these chips look good... I like it when the labels match in color to the chip but thats me... these will look sharp for sure

I guess I'm the other way Str8, I like labels to be uniform, especially in a tournament chips. The concern with matching colours to the chips is once the labels are printed the colours might be a little off. I read the article about chip labels from Personal Poker Chips by Mac40k and he was a little disappointed with the colour matching, see below:
