Fooling around with some polygon shapes in Photoshop. Yeah, I know the colors aren't an exact match. I just noticed that Blue Chip does something similar with some of their inlays, like on the Fitzgeralds Reno chips.

Looks cool!

I prefer the faux inlay such as in the $5 Dunes chip:

That's not a faux, it's a real scalloped inlay on a Paulson House mold chip.

Here's something that you can do with a label.

I just love real shaped inlays, they are a classic look.

There are several casinos that apparently worked with Paulson during one period to move from the real shaped inlays (like Dunes) to less-expensive faux shaped inlays on a regular round label. As long as you get the background color to exactly match the clay, it's a decent looking chip IMO.

Here's an example of some I have from a Mississippi casino:

You can look at the old vs. the new inlays here:

Thanks Tom, that's a good idea. Having the outline on the shape doesn't make it look as cheesy as a poor blend of colors to try and match the chip color. The outline kind of gives the message that the shaped portion isn't trying to masquerade as a shaped inlay but it still has that shaped inlay appearance with the round inlay.

I've been planning on doing some inlays like these for my new set of chips (when I get them) for some time now. They look great if the colours match but come off as cheesy if things are mismatched. I think you can get the official colours Nexgen uses for its chips on this site (I remember seeing it around a month ago). Nice work.

I think Hogwild posted some color matches in CMYK for the Lucky Bees. I don't know how close they might come, you might need to experiment around with it a bit depending on the printer that you're using.

Other than for mockup purposes, you can't really use the images on the web for a color match as the chip colors don't really match the photos that you see on the web. I'll see if I can come up with an example later on with a web photo match.

Here's a mock-up of a replica of a Golden Nugget chip with the label area color matched to the chip web image of the chip color.

Now that looks freakin great!!! I will definately be doing this when I get some new chips.

I have asked this before and was told it would be too dificult, but what about doing this with ASMs???? Any thoughts?
