Yeah I agree about the fuzziness. Here's another take.

[Garyon]

These are the finals ... for now. I got the RGB color codes and did the best I could at matching the colors. Of course the scans are a little off so the mock-ups may actually appear more off but the inlays should more closely match the real thing.

I also got rid of the triangles ... I still kinda liked them but I definitely was nowhere NEAR the consensus on that one!! LOL And I added the ZERO in front of the .25 as was suggested. I'm not crazy about it ... but then again ... I like the triangles so ... you be the judge!!

Also I added my 'mark' just below the bottom "Iron Flower". I use it to 'sign' the designs that I do. I tried to keep it subtle and out of the way. If there are any strong objections to it or if it's a deal breaker it can be removed.






Also a little bigger this time ... figured as we get down to the wire I want to make sure that there are no surprises for anyone, so I wanted to show as much detail as possible.

Shane ... I will PM you the links ...

As is they stand out a little too much in my opinion mostly because they're white. As is, they make the inlay look too busy. Overall, I think this design is taking shape nicely.

1. The text on the border ... I would outline them all in the same color. The alternating colors on the text feels like its throwing the 'balance" off.
2. I would go with a different font for the denominations. And Use a lighter color. Again, this font feels too "cartoony" for this elegant but contemporary design.

I really like how you are blending very streamlined, contemporary elements into a very elegant, classy look! These are fantastic!!

Cha-Ching ... 2cents

2 cents duly noted. Thanks for the help guys.
I took your advice and these are the results.


whatcha think?

Love 'em!
I agree about the "0" no need for it. but with zero or without zero, this design rocks!

Originally I thought the two toned text was better but this change shown looks good. Also, the "diamonds" look much better toned back to match the chips.

To all designers, your patience is amazing in dealing with all us who critique but don't or can't put ourselves out there to be critiqued.

I can't speak for everyone else (so I won't but I'll bet many designers share my sentiment), and I have said this before, but without the community input and critique, my designs could not be half of what they end up being. Fresh eyes, perspective, with a genuine passion is so important. Look at the designs and I'll bet that if you made a suggestion ... you'll see it in there.

I think that it's awesome that Joe has put this deal together. To some extent, the entire community gets the reward of collaborating to come up with a fantastic design!!

I think the rays of light should be removed and replaced with rainbow teddy bears. Let's see THAT suggestion implemented, buddy!

I just have to say how amazed I am with the talent here at Chiptalk, kudos to all of you who submitted designs. There isn't a bad one in the bunch.

This design looks really nice. One question though, what is different between the effect on the "Four Suits" vs the denominations? The denominations look flat and a little fuzzy. The "Four Suits" looks 3D and crisp.

Or are my bifocals just dirty?

Oops, sorry! I should have read through all of the posts before posting.
