Chips: 14,783 | | | I'm a big fan of writing out the denomination. Twenty Five or Twenty Five Dollars looks better to me than $25.
But on these the text is too hard to read. Otherwise nice graphics.
You probaly don't need a fifty chip 5-25-100-500 or 25-100-500-1000 or 25-100-500-2500 should do it.

Chips: 1,214 | | | Yeah, I was torn. There is no real good place to put a number on these labels. With regard to the 50 and the dollar thing - I agree, but these chips will serve as both my tourney set-up and cash game. We usually play $.25/$.50 so I need 50's. That is also why I don't want to put a dollar sign or write out dollars.
But, what about the pictures themselves, cool? |

Chips: 1,483 | | | The font is too hard to read, but the graphics are pretty cool.
I don't know about the name though. If you're going to do custom labels, why would you use someone elses fantasy casino name? |

But, what about the pictures themselves, cool? | Seriously give this a thought before you complete this label....the .50 chip is nice for the blinds I will agree...but, you could still accomplish this with just one more chip (i.e. just put out 2 25's) then you could add the 1000 but it could be worth $10 instead, nice for rebuys!!
Instead of the number of .50 chips you would have to buy, get more 25's and 100's it will make your set much more functional/versatile, you may not always want to play .25/.50.
I did the same thing when I created my set, I made 20's, and 50's. Now they are not used at all in any of my games. Meaning that 100 of my label chips are not used. A very big waste. Please rethink it before you commit to these denoms.
Just some thoughts from a fellow chip junkie...... |

Chips: 10,069 | | | The pics are cool but I had two first thoughts...
1) w/ that text don't overlay it on the pics
2) that the one samurai would be low denom... 2 higher, 3 more
Good luck & keep us posted.

Chips: 1,214 | | | Thanks for the input folks. I hear everyone on the $.50, but I don't think I am going to change that, although I am not sure. When we play our cash games, I just like having 3 colors in play. I mean, if I am going to go through the trouble to label all these chips and come up with a design, I want people to see them. In tourneys, I have found that the 50's don't get in the way as long as there are only 3 denoms on the table at the same time.
I will do something about font and the denominations. Finally, yeah, I really wanted to increase the number of samurai, but ultimately, I could not find a group of 4... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
