Help me choose an Ankh for my 25¢ chip...
 

Just pick your favorite. I won't taint the vote with my discussion yet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like 9, 7, and 1 in that order (voted for 9). I like the sides on 9, the details on 7 and 1. The design on 9 looks like it would work well on a poker chip since it is mostly rounded.

I chose 5 because the graphic was good and might work on a light blue background. I like the looks of 3 but not the pic. 3 might work if the design was done up in software (like traced over)... I like the sharp edges that come out at you. I think 2 & 6 are too round and look to modern.

9's ok but it looks like it'd need to be drawn up in software too as opposed to using the pic.

I was 4 with 9 being a close 2nd. 9 might be too busy. Will take some work to get it to fit.

(potentially relating to 'fit' but otherwise OT sorry)

On the disc design (frisbees) I made about 12 'finalists' before cutting down to the 8 we used as our division graphics. I had to cut some photorealistic graphics that I really liked because they didn't fit in with the larger set. It may be that you work 9 into something that is good but won't fit in well in the balance of the set. That's the tricky part (to my thinking) as an (ungifted) amateur.

Amaterasu (Japan)
Athena
BRID (Celtic)
Freyja (Norse)
Evaki (Bakiri)
HATHOR (Egyptian)
Ixchel
YHI

Like I said: ungifted amateur - but we had fun doing the 900 shirts and discs featuring the division logos.

I think #2 fits best with the set.

I think when it comes to design, the old theory of K.I.S.S. would work best here. 1, 4 and 7 are a little to ornate. The last one is intricate, but not overly done...
Your other chips are spectacular, btw.

9 does it for me,and would look well with the other chips.IMO

Re: Help me choose an Ankh for my 25¢ chip...
 

I voted for #2, but also like #9 alot.

I think K.I.S.S. needs to dominate this chips, though.
That's why I voted for #2. But whichever style is chosen, I'd like to see it rendered as a line drawing, not a photo.

A simple line drawing of #9's design could be pretty cool.

Hmmm... how about going the other way --- change any gold into silver. This would distinquish it from the other chips more (esp the $25 chip). This is a cheap chip, after all...
