I am on the verge of an order with pokerchips.com for 300 custom horsehead mold chips.

I have come up with a theme that I feel is good and would like opinions on it. I posted this in my other thread, but its kinda buried and not with the correct title for opinions on this specifically. I have also changed it a little bit.

Overall, the theme I am going for is Heaven/Hell/Reaper chips. What better then heaven, hell and the guy that puts you there?

Basically it will be this :

150 Red with Arc Yellow edge spots
100 Black with Dayglow Orange edge spots
50 Purple with Dayglow green edge spots

The 150 Red chips would be the Hades chips. On one side they would have a fan of trip 6s centered on the bottom, and long the top in red script type lettering would be HADES spread across the top round shape. On the other side would be the casino name, which I believe will be either Afterlife Casino or Afterlife Poker Room. Along the bottom will be "Death just leaves more time for poker". In the middle will be either a picture of a devil head, or possibly a demon. Not sure which yet.

The 50 purple chips will be the heaven chips. On one side they would have a fan of trip 7s centered on the bottom, and across the top would be HEAVEN written in silvery type script. On the other side would be the same casino name and tagline above, with either a picture of a halo or heaven's gates or something in the middle.

The 100 black chips will of course be the Reaper chips. On one side centered on the bottom would be a Royal Flush of Spades (Death always wins, dont it?), along the top in greyish letters would be REAPER. On the other side would again be the same casino name and tagline, with a picture of a grim reaper head or full grim reaper in between, important part is the scythe be part of it.

That is basically it.

I am curious as to what others think of the idea, and I will not be hurt or offended if you dont like it or have suggestions on improvements. I am not a religious person, but the concept of heaven, hell and the grim reaper (and most things supernatural) has always intrigued me, so I came up with this.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this and offer suggestions.

The idea sounds good to me; you probably won't get any really useful specific responses without pics of the art itself, though. The only issue I see with the concept is only having 3 denominations but, if that's sufficient for your purposes, that's no big deal.

It will be sufficient for the very small games/tournaments that I play in at home.

It will probably be a couple of weeks before I have artwork proofs, but I was just looking for ideas on the concept mainly right now.

Thanks for your response Ghaz.

I definitely will when I get the proofs from them, which wont be for weeks.

I was just trying to get comments on the concept of it rather then the actual art at this point.
