Help labeling dice chips... I know I know they're crap

lordofelt · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-2006, 10:04 PM

After looking through this thread
http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/poker-...ice-chips.html

I decided that I should also spruce up by dice chips to make them look like the best of the worst. Some background: I currently have a nice set of 2005 WSOP chipcos for tournies but am saving up for my cash game set in the meantime I have a million questions about what to do:

I have a general concept I want to implement I have all the chips shown in the thread above except the purple and will probably label as follows:

$.25- yellow
$1- white
$5-red
$25-green
$100- black
$500-blue

The logic behind this is a both that these denom/colors are reasonably standard from what I've seen and it matches the number I have of each (I have lots of yellow and white but only a few blue/black/green)

Anyways I was wondering where I should go with my concept to start working on a label I'd like to incorporate a maple leaf in some fashion I don't know much else to be honest except the denoms I want. Is there anyone on this site that makes labels I'd like to support another chiptalker if that was possible if not what website should I be checking out?

Also any other general advice from people about labeling dice chips? approx how much should I be spending to label 1000 chips?

P.S. Is it inappropriate to say that I would like to copy extraholes label without asking him first if its ok?

Thanks for any advice

I would love to have a second kashmir lizard bar and casino. One small fee, and a way you go

I pad $58 for 2400 lables and he used the desing i emailed him.

Good to know thanks. For those of us that can't do anything with regards to graphic design who should I ask/beg to help me with a design??

Great to here well as a refresher I'm looking for some labels for my dice chips. I like the labels that extrahole came up with especially for the dice chips. I'm looking to incorporate a maple leaf into chip (I'm canadian) or possibly different images for different denoms (maple leaf, beaver, hockey puck) other than that i dont have too many ideas I'm new to this chip design thing so don't know what else I can tell you.

Do you make labels I'll definately like to order from a chiptalker if possible as I mentioned.. gotta support your own.

Do you want the designs for the colours and denoms listed in your first post? A cash set correct? Any idea for any text?

Yeah thats the plan, I guess it'll be mostly a cash game set but since I have a few blacks (100) and blues (500) I'd like to label them as well just in cas I ever use it as a tournament set.

For text I really don't know I want something more "rounded" I guess I'd call it don't like really square block letters. I'd like the text to read "McKay's" across the top and "casino & resort" across the bottom

Okay, I'll have a play and see what I can come up with.

Here's an example of something I threw together:

I hope it meets with your approval. Let me know what you think, like or dislike or want to change.

Dude that is AWESOME. I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted these to look like but I'm not very artistic and couldn't articulate it very well. I LOVE the beaver and the maple leaf. One thing I was debating is should I go with "casino & resort" or just "casino resort" a minor detail I know but what do u all think?

P.S. I love everything about the font including the gold/black text and the font. you even got the capital K in "McKay right"
