I think that chip had been the one to give me concerns. Thanks. Red looks good to me!

I just called and ordered some more samples from Dennis.

At least my pals will have some things to look at if they upgrade from their Xmas sets (dice). When I'd been talking about a custom order, they had originally thought that I'd be trying to recruit them for it. I don't see them springing for these sets but someone might get lit up by the look / feel once they see some nice samples.

I'm realizing that even for a cheapie tourney set for a local non-profit should have edge-spots for ease in counting smalling stacks just sitting on the table by eye. So much for plain diamond...

Looks very good to me.

Potentially bad idea (brainstorming)
It might be nice to alter the stock inlay just a small bit - removing the . after Las Vegas or Nevada would not change the look of the chip and would provide a minor custom detail on the inlay No big deal for their artist to do that and not likely to result in an art charge (TR King doesn't really nickle/dime you on art) Maybe a bad idea though because none of 'our' chips would use the same colors as stock... so even if we banged out a very small number of $5k chips, we'd probably have red 1/8" inserts instead of the stock gray on that turquiose chip...

Thanks for the hard work Ray.

Paulson: how big a deal is the rack issue?

I changed the red and the gray chip the rest look good to me.
Just my opinion.

Anyone else like the dark blue instead of the red on the gray chip? I do.

The $5 seems to be the biggest discrepancy amongst everyone...

Wow Ray, great looking chips.
I personally think the purple chip looked a ton better with the white and orange edge spots. If you did that you would probably need to change the red to orange and yellow just to be different.

I think it looked better like this


But if you could darken up the red it might be better

I actually did some better mockups of this style for the $5 - one with yellow/white, one with yellow/orange, but ran out of lunch time and had to come back to work before I could post it.

They only have one "red" at T.R. King.

I think red and light blue spots would look good on the $100. I think red looks good on black.

Excellent job SlowPlayRay and nice turn around for mock-ups!

I'm not in the market but here are my thoughts...

I really like the $1, $25, $500 & $1000 chip colors.

I think the non-denom gray looks good but I'm just not crazy about grey... would probably prefer an orange, pink or another color besides grey... but they grey does look good.

I think the $100 is only ok... not sure what to suggest here though a red as one might look good.

The $5 might look better with yellow instead of the white.
