Looking for a little design help. Animal silhouette chips.

Those are nothern CA (where our dearesr Bison resides) colors I believe.

Here you go... irish theme The Unicorn by The Irish Rovers

from the song...
"There were green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn."

Just the first thing that popped in my head when I read this thread... next being the Chinese Calendar

No the chip denoms have nothing to do with any casino. Really, if people can't read the numbers on the chip, I'm afraid they're out of luck.

[razor]

personally, I wouldn't do a 10 chip... I think you'd be better to just get more of others.

[Brain]

Yeah, no 10 chips.

I like the duck A LOT. How about an elephant or deer/moose/elk (something with antlers)?

[bisonbison]

the duck is my favorite too. I just wish I could figure out other animals that would look as recognizable and cute in that 2-tone setup.

Alright, I'll change 10 to something else.

One word for the duck: AFLAC!

[The Goober]

I love the idea (and the duck especially looks great), but I don't like the numbers off to the side - the chips feel lopsided. Once you start using them, you'll learn the colors really quickly, so its not important that the numbers are easily readable. What if you centered the animal and put the number behind it in a larger font - either in a color that is just a shade darker than the background, or use an outlined font. The number would be kinda hard to read because the animal would block a lot of it, but as I said, you won't need to read the number very often.

just a thought

[bisonbison]

Interesting. Obviously no one likes the numbers, but I hadn't thought of putting them behind the animals.

Thank god for photoshop.

[PuckNPoker]

I actually REALLY like the numbers on the first set. Large and offset like that.

Also I think you need a good bengal tiger for one of them:


There is a really good poster with a bengal tiger running at the camera head on, but I couldnt find a link on the web for it.
