Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

So for father's day i'm getting my dad custom made poker chips. We need a logo. My grandpa is a cranky old german. We call him the kaiser on occasion. He also has short hair that seems to all come together into a mini mo hawk of sorts which we call his "stripe". It is short so not like a legit mo hawk. The "poker club" name is going to be named "after him" kinda. It's what my dad wants.

So the "poker club" has 2 potential names. "The Stripe" or "The Kaiser Club". Use your judgment, whichever you like or design both. The contest will be open for 1 week and if/when we choose a design i will ship you $20 on stars/tilt.

http://www.pokerchips.com/design.html - guidelines.

Obv we are looking for something in good taste. Post whatever you want, make sure it is SFW, but I'm only choosing one. If there is one i like right away i'll take that one.

Thanks yo.

Gild - can this be in BBV? I put it here because i wasn't sure. BBV has more traffic and more busto people i feel like.

hey danza, how about a location?

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

the best art is from those who are most busto.

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)

yerp just regoolar photoshop. I've been on ChipTalk for a while and have done about five designs for people's inlays like this, so just runnin through Photoshop for it is easiest since the inlay only prints at around 1" anyways.

The Kaiser would never use black chips.

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

the design is for the center piece only

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

I like TJ's

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

I would submit an art piece but on behalf of BBV I have declared war on Germany and all things German (even sausage)!

Here's my idea...when I read the name "The Kaiser Club" i thought of Kaiser Soze from the Usual Suspects movie. Anyway, here it is:

Danza - when I think of Kaiser I think of the WWI Kaiser helmets. Your grandpa might like something like this.

Damn, that one's good. I thought about the helmet, but it's so damn hard to get things symmetrical in MSPaint. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'd definately go with that one or something with the helmet and Iron Cross if you went with the Kaiser name.

Wish I wouldve thought of the helmet thing...unfortunately I'm not that smart! Good job.

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

if you think he drew that helmet in photoshop, then you should really give up on life

hes the kaiser, which is a WWI era thing, not WWII, and even if it were WWII, why would you use an image of b2's that are not in the process of being shot down by messerschmitts?

Youre terrible at this, go away.

Here are two touched up versions of my Kaiser Submition. One with NY in red and the other in black.

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

These are looking pretty good! The helmet one is pretty cool so far, may ask for some color changes.

Will post at day's end with dad's opinions.

Thanks guys!

Whats the verdict on the winnar?

Re: Calling all Busto BBVers w/art skilz ($20 yo)
 

Speaking to the big guy -

none of these take the cake quite so far. a cartoon drawing of an old man with the german helmet kidna tilted slightly off to the side was his suggestion.

I like the idea of the helmet, profile, with a the name 'The Stripe' over it.

Also - no dollar amounts on the chip. If i have to up it to $30/$35 i will i don't know how much time you guys put into this but i appreciate it.
