Blue/White- Blue Text, Blue Roses, Blue Stars, White Backround
Black/ DG Pink- Pink Text, Pink Roses, Pink stars, Pink Backround
Purple/Grey- Purple Text, Purple Roses, Purple Stars, Grey Backround

In which the Backround is not the Black circle wrap around but it is the area surrounding the Horseshoe... and like i said just eliminate the rose on the Horseshoe.... try that and we'll see how it looks ok? thanks a lot fins
and '"COLOR" roses' means the color of the outlining... but no fill just like you have now.. the black fill is good..

also thank you for your patience with me... i am very picky about my chips... i want them to look good because i will most likely have this set for the rest of my life.
It'll be a few days so I'll get back to you...

Did this up before I read the above... a couple comments...

I made the horseshoe bigger.

The Rose outline in the wrap didn't look so good printed to size on my crappy inkjet... so I put the other rose in it's place (this can be changed back easily)... I think if I make the stroke on the outline bigger it'll blur too much but I'l check it out.

The rose on the horseshoe on the other hand looked better on the larger horseshoe when printed... better than I thought anyway such if you were laser printing them might be worth reconsidering... I see if I can post a better version for you to printout at scale and see for yourself.

The outlined stars in the horseshoe at scale (again on my POS printer) didn't look so good so I replaced them with solid stars... easily changed... FYI - PS works in layers so most of the images are layers and you pick what you want to see/print etc...

I don't know how much I need to account for bleed (this is another concern)... I thought I'd seen recommened to use a print area of 3/4" in a 7/8" label but using this when printed makes for an odd wrap as the text is so far from the edge... so I tried to do something in between here as an example... see KY70's chips as he had a few off center... seems like the kind of thing that's annoying when you do 'em but very few will notice down the road... maybe some of the pros can answer this.

got to run so here you go....

I really like the bigger horseshoe, but I like the roses in this pic better.
If you could somehow bold them, that would be best, IMO. I think everythings looking good. Of course I mean that in a non-legal way.

I just don't think the outlined rose is going to work as i can barely even see it - almost would know it was there when printed to scale on my POS inkjet so I did these up as other options... would like to see them laser printed at scale but don't have one...



Still could be a little better... could use a better rose silhouette maybe... just wanted to see if there were any comments on this option.

maybe make the rose inside of a star instead of a circle... then it will tie in with the horseshoe.

The problem with the star is it limits the size of the rose...



ok... this latest rose might work as it looks better at size... might be able to make it a tad bigger if I rotate so it's kind of in line with the wrap... then I think it'd work... let me know what you think. Also, any suggestions for the text on the bottom?

Maybe just "The Horseshoe" on top and "Club & Casino" on the bottom... and maybe just scrap the rose idea and just have stars in between... it is enough like the horseshoe to honor it... and also it has the year of it's shutting down... also maybe "The Horseshoe Club" on top and "January 9th" on bottom... just some ideas.

I like the roses in these.
... and not this one...



The problem I have is those look good in large pics but don't look good at scale IMO. The one at the left is an indistinguishable glob and the one on the right looks like a tree or palm... could just be my printer of course... any opions? any other suggestions?

I think this will look much better at scale and look like a rose.
