I am working with Jason for this order. Below is my first attempt at labels. I didn't like the idea of putting demoninations on the chips. I was just shooting for something cute, yet still classy looking
A nice simple design, with all the cuteness that you could want. The suits look a little, eh, random around the outside though. Maybe you could create a full rin of them instead?
These Look Great... Stay away from the Suit Border. Tends to get Messy. Jason Does a fantastic job on the Denoms Part as well. You should really consider it.. For Normal Home Games $5, $10,$25,$50 and $100 is the Norm... Let Jason set you up and take a look. He usually matched the denoms color with your chip as well.
I don't know if the black ring around the labels on all of the colors except black is intended to be in the design, but you might encounter some problems getting it to print correctly off of a laser as there is always some printer creep, so it probably won't print properly. If you just let the gradient background bleed over the edge you should be fine. Alternatively, you could go for about a 1/16" black ring around the edge if you want. Personally, I think you would be better off with the gradient bleed.
Another alternative that you might want to play around with to see if it appeals to you might be to use the edgespot color of whatever chip you'll be using as the color for the gradient.
One other thought that I had was to just have the pig in the middle of the chip, and then have a ring of the suits around the edge of the label or to have the suits at equal points around the edge of the label (e.g. 12/3/6/9 o'clock)
