SEE POST #35 FOR FINAL VERSION AND ORDERING INFO THE ORIGINAL OP WILL NOT HAVE INFO 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ORIGINAL OP:
I was thinking of getting some Deadwood dealer buttons made to go with my set (like the ones abcgiftsandawards did with the Pharaoh's Coaster / Dealer Buttons).
Comments and ideas appreciated.

I like the idea and have thought about it myself a few times but I'd like something a little bit closer to the chip style. Not sure if we'd need to get Josh's persmission depending on how close it was to the inlay style. |

I couldn't find that wingding under the Deadwood logo
(unless I hack it from this: chip wingding at the bottom) 
That I would like to add, or some other flourish.
Since every chip has the same logo, I was not interested in making the Buttons the same as that. I think the Deadwood theme is enough.
No infringement there.
I've sent Josh an email for input.
Variations ideas:
1 )Thinking of taking out the left right stars and inserting the A8 hand.
2) Making a wide border with some design in it.
Edits for new ideas:
3) "Aging" the lettering
4) Fade-out the picture edges

I would soften the edges of the pic to blend more into the white space...but its a good idea.
Better get Nanook's approval too...

I really had no interest in duplicating the chip image or infringing on anything. Since every chip denom has the same image I wanted to get away from that and actually come up with something new.
They really are stand alone dealer buttons using photos of historic figures, no mention of "Saloon & Casino", and no artwork duplication.

Sweet set of deadwoods!!!! As for the dealer button - I like the one with the largest image you posted- it has the picture that is similar to the graphic on the chips.
Great pics BTW
Side note - is that chip chest the one from Brandsonsale??? How do you like it?
Thanks

I took out the wood trays (which are very nice BTW, better looking than the type you get in wood travel cases) and put in dividers to accomodate more chips.
I hear they also auction the case on ebay and you can get it very cheap there. Quote: |
