Custom ASM's

JeromyinWV · #1 (**permalink**) 02-07-2007, 02:37 PM

I called the fine folks at pokerchips.com (they spoke pretty highly of this site) about ordering some custom asm's. Ive got an idea, but dont know the best wat to get it into a form that they can use. Top of the chip says McCartys Card Room and the bottom says -Est. 2007- for the middle I was thinking about using an old english or some type of script looking font with an M or Mc and the denomination layed over it. Do you think this would look ok, dont want it to look cheap and cluttered, but more of a neat and classy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

You can download a free 30 day trial version of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator from adobe.com. That's how I did my artwork, mocked it up in photoshop then moved over to do the finished product in illustrator. 30 days was just enough time to figure out what I was doing and get it done.

Work with Sandy there, she will do whatever you need!

Sounds reasonable, You might look through the custom chip gallery thread to get some ideas too. lots of people on this site are very helpful and will give you great advice on your designs as you go.
Good Luck

I'm in the process of building my bankroll myself to fund a set of custom ASM's.

I also recommend talking to Sandy. Tell her what you want and she'll mock it up.

Of course, you can't order anything until you start posting pictures of the process right here.

that demand coming from a man with a 22 hammer means you pretty much have to post your mock-ups

Something like this? (Quick mockup, needs better fonts)

Thats a good start. Maybe change the font and drop in a denomination. I might go with something in the background. Thanks for that!

Here are some options, still haven't found a font that I think really does it for this design

You might try looking on abstractfonts.com or dafont.com and see if there's one that catches your eye. If you find one, just let me know.

I like the font over the Mc, but it leaves a lot of blank space at the bottom with this font, need a more square font for that layout.
