alright... here's the scenario... i got in on the ASM group buy with the idea of labeling them with a design that is classy, yet simple enough that it does not look cluttered.... but i have no idea what theme to go with... can you guys throw me some ideas?

i was kinda thinking to do charactures of the pros i like...
Doyle
Sammy Farha
Daniel Negraneau
Phil Ivey
Hoyt Corkins

only problem is i dont have any artistic ability

How about planets? Sports? Zodiac signs?

What are your interests? That would make helping you easier.

i was kinda thinking to make the pros into characters and only having the characters in color and the rest of the label in black and white... or... i wanted to do somthing that corresponds with the horsehead mold... like maybe a western theme or somthing...

Alright.... i've decided what i want to do with my labels.... I want to dedicate them to Binions Horseshoe on account of it being closed and turned into Binions.... I want to go with this design but i want to leave out benny and have no denom.... but instead have the date of it's closing.... can anyone confirm that 01/09/05 is the closing date of Binions Horseshoe?? and also i will need some art work help haha.. thanks

I would stay away from putting a date on there unless you can get a 100% confirmation from the Horseshoe itself on that date.

I'd suggest perhaps looking for what their actual old chips used to look like and mock up something that looks like it as an hommage.
