Default Custom chips art work help

Finaly coughed up the fpp points needed to get the custom chip set from pokerchips.com. I picked my colors looking at some of the previous posts about custom chips, unfortunately though they've discontinued the roman mold so I'll have to settle with the American mold. Comments on the yellow chip is also welcomed (kinda iffy on it myself)
I decided to call my set "Ace Point Club" in honor of the first underground club my friends and I visited. I'm not much of an artist and cant really think of a cool design. I'm working with their artist Sandy, who is very nice and patient I just wish I could give her some ideas. Here is the last art work she sent me

Any suggestions would be appreicated.

I have the custom set from them as well...I have the blue/red chip and it honestly isn't a great match in practice.

If you don't love the yellow, try maybe the green..that one looks pretty good from experience.

That is almost, if not the exact, color scheme for my set.



Very surprised to hear about the Roman mold I just added some chips on last month and was able to get the Roman mold.

I think a white background for the inlay works better, to tell you the truth.

I went through this process as well, and FWIW, I think the yellow chips turned out the best. The green is a real nice color too.

In hindsight, I which I'd have done white/red edgespots on the black chip instead of white/yellow, because I'm not thrilled about how the colors look on that one. But the chips are real nice - you'll be happy with the quality.

sigh.... dual edgespots are SO much better than single... sadly, not an option when I got my set.

Interesting that you limited edgespot colors to 4- are all four colors part of the Terps school colors?

Those pictures are the design, not the actual chips, correct?

What made you go with yellow $500s ?

Yes - red, gold, black, and white are the school colors, which is why I went gold instead of purple for the $500. Those chips rarely get used anyway, because my group generally plays cash games, but it's fun to have around at the end of tournaments. (Note to the OP - that chip is really bright in person.)

And yes, those are the proofs I received, not the actual chips. I keep meaning to take pictures of the chips, but keep forgetting.

I'm getting a new table this week too (bigslikpokertables - they do a great job of going back and forth with you and customizing everything), so maybe that'll inspire me to bring the camera out to show off. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FYI, it may come back. It went away before and came back. I was going to order some roman mold chips in late sept. and she said check back in a month or so.

Stevie,

I think it was that picture in an old thread that made me decide to get these custom chips in the first place. Very nice chips!

Someone desperately needs to oil the edges of his chips
