RCR Matching Labels for FDL Solids

[ericmalone]

So when I decided to get into the RCR Group Buy, I really wanted at least a 400 chip set, but couldn't really swing it at .59 a chip (plus extras). So I decided to use the FDL blanks to make the set a full 400 chips and bring my median cost per chip down quite a bit since the blanks were .36 a chip. BUT, when I got the blanks, I noticed that the centers were completely smooth, not textured like A-Mold or Horsehead blanks, which makes it look really stupid next to an inlaid chip. So I decided to label my blanks to go along with the RCR inlaid chips (without simply copying the design) so this is what I came up with. Please let me know your thoughts in general and if you think they will mesh well with the Royal Cardroom Inlaid chips.

Here is the chip factory mockup:

Here are the original RCR chips: Royal Cardroom Inlays

if simple is what youre going for then it looks nice.
the only think i might do is make the FDL a bit transparent.

why not go for something nicer?

I need it to match the RCR inlays, hence the simplicity. Do you have any ideas about making it nicer while still matching the inlays?

oh sorry, i didnt get that you had to match it to the inlays...
why not ask the designer to use the original artwork?

umm... that's a good question. I guess I just assumed that I would have to pay for it.

ask the designer or the organiser of the group buy (if he is the 'owner' of the design).

I asked the designer (roxtarbaer), I would really rather use the inlay artwork for a perfect match so we'll see how it goes.

hope everything works out.

Looks like we're going with plan B. So how can I improve this design?
