Default Looking for Opinion on My Chips

Inspired by Slow Play Ray's custom TR Kings, I decided to mock up my own.

All comments are greatly appreciated.

I like it.

A simpler look might be to just have the single falcon. It is enough of an icon that it might not even need text.

I have a similar design where I've got a front image with text and image (griffon) and on the back the griffon slightly larger to fill the hole chip as a gray background image. Denominations on top of that in red - no denoms on the front.

For some reason I can't export images that work from this box [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] otherwise I'd post. Have to do it from the Mrs machine

Updated the Chips a little.

Toned down the Gradient, so it's less obtrusive.

Got rid of the Falcon head, and switched over to the 3/4 statue view, and offset it.

Moved the text around a bit to get more space.

Update-1

Like the idea, the colors and the font on the text. I think having the 1 image rather than the 3 is a big improvement.

However, to my taste, the actual falcon image struck me as a little "clunky" and out of place--in part because the lettering seems to be on the elegant and small side. (Also, I'm not personally a fan of that particular image.) I would think something more elegant and stylized would work better (i.e., like a somewhat abstract line drawing of a falcon, etc. Something along the lines of this perhaps (Palmas chips))?

If you want to use this particular image, maybe try a different font for the lettering (something more "blocky" and old fashioned and bigger) and increase the size of the denomination. The image is somewhat oldfashioned looking, changing the font/lettering could get you a real "old school" looking chip.

Anyway, this is just my 2cents. Nice work and good luck!

The photo of the Falcon was used primarily as a test, it's a screencap poorly edited to just get the outline.

I'll be using this one for the next update:

Falcon

How about a design like this for the back?
It's the one on the left, in the middle row.
Falcon

Thanks

Changed up the fonts... a couple different styles, but more imporantly, may be a nicer maltese image for you...

Or a different look...

Hey Lynbark

What font did you use for the denomination?

Also, do you have that image of the falcon by itself?

Thanks
