| | Looks like "Black Sands" is crushing. I'm sure Bubba will organize any formal polling, but I'll bring the following up for discussion:
Obviously, the name "Black Sands" can be paired with any inlay (not just the ones shown here...so if you have an idea, go for it). Attached are 3 possibilities based on the inlays Bubba has posted. Fonts are equally flexible. Seems like the "design en masse" technique has yielded some good stuff (these chips keep getting sexier and sexier), so if you have an idea make it known or post a mockup.
The "turtle" is a polynesian tribal design and has a face in the center of the shell, and the 3 palms...well, it's 3 palms. The 3rd is the abstract palm.    |

| | | That's a Pandora's Box within Pandora's Box. Might cause a problem along the same lines as denoms; it would be very difficult to match inlays to colors (i.e. "My favorite is the 'dolphin' inlay but I don't want large stacks of grey chips").
And yeah, I vote for simplicity when it comes to these bright chips. Worth some discussion though. |

| | | I personally don't care for the turtle or any picture that's directly behind the name. I like the image on the right the most. I think a palm tree mold would really make these chips stand out too. |

| | | Palm tree mold is a MUST! i would guess that if we were to do a custom mold, we could design it with a Grand sized inlay in mind. get rid of the outer circle from the M mold and make it similar to the Paulson Grand mold shown on the NBC Heads up show. the inlay can then be something other than palm trees. keep this simple and classy. |

| | | I like the 3 palm tree design best, I think it fits more with the simple look of the chips. |
