Opinions wanted: Here are my proofs.
Hey gang -
Here are the proofs for my chips from pokerchips.com: This is the first draft: Ash's chips Draft #1 This is the second draft: Ash's chips Draft #2 The main question I have is this - which of the Royal Flush pictures do you like better? The first one is the one that they supplied, the second one I supplied. I think the first one will come out better. Also, the graphics artist suggested that they could change the color of the clubs to blue - but I don't think I like that idea. Here are the color combinations that I'll be getting: Blue Arc Yellow White DG Orange Red White Green DG Yellow Black Mandarin Red Purple DG Pink Thoughts? -Ash |

Very nice chips. I like everything about version 2 better, except for the 10 in the royal. The pattern of the pips is off and I think it would bug me every time I saw them.

I am not buying these chips, so with a grain of salt. liquor up front poker in the rear is a bit cliche. However as cliche as it might be I like the the sides being different, obvious but still a real nice look.
Also i think a Jason Gosain enterprise kinda makes them look like corporate promotional items. Okay if that's what you are going for. Again, Grain of salt my friend. |

Re: Opinions wanted: Here are my proofs.
I agree with the "enterprise" etc. That's why I got rid of it...
FWIW: Gosain is my last name - and CasinoGosain is the gambling nickname my buddies gave me back in college. It was me, Blackjack Mahoney, etc. Also, my wife and I joked about naming our kid Casino - and referred to him as such up until he was born. -Ash |

I like the casinogosain, especially after the reasoning, but the liquor & poker is just to used for me, IMO I would like something more personal. The look is very nice though

Re: Opinions wanted: Here are my proofs.
I agree that it is cliched (sp?), but I (and this is totally a personal thing) feel that it is cliched enough to become a classic again...
Also, glad to see you got the animated GIF working. -Ash |

Re: Opinions wanted: Here are my proofs.
Like the others, I am not fond of the cliche, but they are your chips and if you like it, then it's all good.
Other then that I think they look good. I like the 2nd proof better then the first. |

Re: Opinions wanted: Here are my proofs.
I like the 2nd draft better... didn't care for the "enterprise" part. One chip has 2004 & the other 2005?? I like the red contrast & the olives on the 2nd draft. Can they make the clubs on the first draft smaller or not so splotchy? If not then I'd go with yours in No. 2 if you can center it a little better.
My extra 2¢... I'll agree the "liquor up front..." is over used but I like the way you have it on opposite sides. I think the nickname personalizes it enough for me especially with the unborn name choosing fun... we changed funny names once a month... though I still like Ruckus for a boy [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]... ended up having a girl & surprised us both! Good design - post pics next year! It looks like it'll be worth the wait. Good luck, Fins |

Re: Opinions wanted: Here are my proofs.
The 2004 is a holdover from the original design - when I thought I could order/proof/receive these chips this year ... silly Ash.
I may have them change the graphic to a spade flush - the pips on the second version bug me as well. The graphic I gave them for the first version is "blurry". Oh - the most unfortunate name I've actually seen: When I was a medical student, we had the daughter of a ghetto-fabulous crack whore as a patient. The child was named La4cia. With the number 4. This child has no choice but to become a hooker. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] -Ash |
