Chip Design.... Your Input

Hey, I just designed a chip label and I wanted to see what you people all thought of my design. I want some constructive criticism so please say what you are thinking. Also if you know anybody who can turn these into labels or something like these into labels please pm me.




Thanks

The palms look like they are going to be blown ower since they are all curved in the same direction. Maybe mirror the left one. The font isn't particularly easy to read as the stroke width is quite thick compared to the size of the letters. The graphics is quite edgy. What programme did you use?

My first impression was yuk. Then I took a step back and let it sink in. I think you have something here that with a few minor tweaks will be pretty nice. Listen to what people tell you here and try some things out - I think you are going to end up with something that will be worth the effort.

Good luck and I can't wait to see the transformation.

I used photoshop for the design. I know the graphics are a little edgey thats because I found them off of an old clipart software.

How about just calling it The Getaway Lounge?

How about including an island?

What kind of chips?

I agree with the island suggestion...

Not too sure how well that font will work on a small inlay - some of the letters may look like "blobs" when shrunk (ie. the "N" in NCV already looks cramped...)

Also, I'd switch the palm trees around: have the double tree point towards the outside of the chip, rather than the inside. This will give you a little bit more room for the higher denominations, without having them run into the branches.

The font for the denom is, um, not good.

The basics of the label are ok. The sun needs to stand out more - either a darker shade or outline if absolutely necessary.

I think your font choice looks bad as bold. Try a non bold font or even a script font. Either way it will be an improvement.

If you do ditch the waves for an island, perhaps the rest of the label can have a sky colored bg. That would help the sun stand out.

Good luck.

I garee - more prominent sun and an island. There's really nothing on the "chip" grabbing the eyes. An island could be a point of focus.
