Mostly because I'm looking for a tourney set of the chips made, I would prefer the triangle not be included on the 25 & 100 denom chips. I do like the idea of different artwork on each side of the chip.

reversed the gradient and removed the white outer ring.swapped the b&w on the denom and font.Also made the "resort & casino" a little bigger.

While Tarjetas is translated to English as cards, to me at least, it refers to greeting or business cards. Now it is very possible that other Spanish speakers use the term tarjetas for playing cards but I never heard anyone use that term. There are a couple of terms I know are used for playing cards, barajas (usually Spaniards seem to use it) or cartas. Anyone else please feel free to correct me, but is should say El Templo de las Cartas o El Templo de las Barajas.

I've started to write cartas but I was thinking that it's not correct so I wrote tarjetas.
That's a mistake from me so I'm going to change. Thanks

The triangels don't look too good imho. The halfmoons were better....or just nothing. The triangles appear somehow "rough" compared to the other stuff on the label. I'd try to imagine an other symbol that would fit....but I think my creativity is limited. Maybe a small circle ... kind of a chip.

The idea of denoms as text and numbers is really great. I mean it would be AWESOME if Joe could make it possible to have both on one chip!!!

I think we'll pass on the triangles then ... I will probably just leave them blank as that seems to have more universal approval.

With any luck, however, Joe will be able to do the 2 different sides.Thanks everyone, as always, for your critical feedback.

There are so many great designs developing here. I am going to hate to have to pick only one! Maybe I don't have to, at least not right away.

There seem to be primarily two styles of chips developing; "Classic" and "Fun". Maybe we could run a primary style of voting and have a pole for each category and then a run off between the two winners. It might mean taking a couple more days in development but I think we would end up with a better final design.

I am also hoping that if we can drag this out just a little bit, we can get ALL of the colors!

I would suggest for the "Classic" design;
extraholes
garyon
max
luckybee
bmwguy525

For the "Fun" design;
feen666 (suits)
feen666 (siesta)
turnerprofit
ckoi7arnak
flynn (I think the Southpark design will have license issues but is still fun)
flynn (toucan)

These groupings (or only having two of them) are by no means binding in any way. This is just an idea to help us get to the best overall design. If I missed someone, I mean no insult... just an oversight.

Keep up the GREAT work!

Now that Joe has confirmed that this will, indeed, be a majority decision, it would seem that it is timely to discuss how we will choose the winning design. I have never participated in a GB like this before, but Shane raises a very valid point. If it is to be a simple 'vote for all designs at once' type of poll then it is likely that only a minority percentage of the total participants would prefer the outcome.

Joe will want us to achieve maximum satisfaction. This is because a lot of potential participants have indicated that although they they were interested, any committment to buy was "subject to design". This GB may not attain 'critical mass' if too many people are turned off by the selection.

So I agree with Shane. Some form of progressive elimination, with multiple voting rounds, appears to be appropriate to ensure that we achieve the widest possible satisfaction with the outcome.

Has anyone participated in this type of GB before, or had the time to review threads of how other GBs have done it?

What is the consensus? Please chip in here - this is an important consideration, for both the competing designers and the buyers.
