rearranged · #1 (**permalink**) 12-07-2005, 01:12 AM

Could someone help me with designing a label. I really liked the wsop replica gb designing phase of the "home series of poker" design. i would like something with the title, no cash value and a denomination. i'm going to put the labels on some river poker tour nexgens in 25, 100, 500, 1000. if someone could help me out, it would be appreciated.

Those ;ast mockups looked nice...what type of chip is that pocketrocket? I'm looking at designing a WSOP inspired replica with clay and that looks very good. I have started a thread in the GB section so you can visit it and have a look. I haven't posted any mockups yet but I'm getting ideas for what chips to use and what colors to select. Let me know if you would like to help in the design process.

The original poster was asking about River Poker Tour Nexgens, that was what those mockups were based on. However since it's a label, it can of course, be applied to any chip that can accommodate a label. Insofar as putting it on the inlay of a compression molded chip, you may run into some resistance from the chip manufacturer with something that close to a copyrighted design, and of course, the Rio logo on that label mockup is copyrighted to Harrah's.

If you're going to have labels done, the label printers will usually help you with the design process, and companies like ASM have artists who will adjust your design to fit their inlay. Just take the size of the inlay or label in to account (e.g. 3/4" printable area for some of the ASMs).

Insofar as what i did for that WSOP replica, I'm afraid I made it clear pretty early on, that I would not distribute anything involved copyright violations or presented a potential for counterfeiting. You are, however, more than welcome to use it as a basis for your own personalized design, I just did those based on images of this year's WSOP chips. Other than the Rio logo, the rest of it is just text using commonly available fonts. Also, the text under the Rio logo needs some work, it doesn't print out very clearly.

One other thing I'd like to add about your idea of using ASMs. My thought is that the 3/4" working area that you'll be dealing with is probably going to be too small to make a replica of the more recent WSOP designs. As has been referenced in your original thread, you'll probably have better success using the Binion's Horseshoe tournament chip from the 1995 series of Paulson chips, or the decal on the 2000 series of Bud Jones V7 chips.

thanks for the pics. anyone know what happened to the "home series of poker" chip design? it was in the wsop gb thread but it's not there anymore. those labels look good on nexgens, though.

You are aware that the real WSOP chips that were used last year, and this year's version both have labels as well are you not? Though they call it a "decal". It's not an inlay per se, since it is not molded (ergo "inlaid") into the chip.

didn't realize that. what i'm trying to get at is that there was a design in the group buy thread where someone had designed an inlay that had home series of poker on it. noone really liked it i guess, so they went with CPS. i was just trying to find that design because i liked it, but i can't seem to find it anywhere in that thread anymore. thanks for putting up with my questions...

You might want to go back in the archives, I don't remember any home series or anything like that, but then I really didn't have any interest in that thread nor in paying that kind of money for Chipcos.

With regards to the actual chips used at the WSOP, they were injection molded plastic chips with a metal insert that weighed 12 gr, and the design that you thought was an inlay is actually a label. Sounds like the description of a Nexgen chip huh? Well it does, but it also describes a Bud Jones V7 chip

. The insert in the BJ chip is brass though, not steel.

does anyone remember seeing the home series of poker design? i know i'm not crazy, well not completely crazy. there was only a picture or 2 of this design. i'm guessing maybe it was deleted, after looking back over that thread, there's a couple of red x's where pics used to be. if anyone has a pic or can design something as i'm completely uncapable, i would be grateful.

You may want to try PMing shinydiamond or 2hotty as they did a lot of work on designing the 2005 Wsop chips. I like the current chip a lot, but I was also for using the HSOP name. I used that name for my series of tournaments last June - the River City Home Series of Poker - RCHSOP - I had a trophy and a bracelet made up with the name - it was really a lot of fun - how can a 10 day stretch of live poker tournaments not be fun?
