Hello! Just getting my stuff together ahead of the next cap dash group buy. I think everyone here can guess my original inspiration. Really going for a natural, subtle elegance with trees- and cigars in the back yard-themed accents. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I would like to pay someone to turn this chip set into .ai files and get the labels ready with correct denominations (and suggest any other adjustments they feel necessary). Denominations are in the following order: $0.25, $1, $5, $20, $100, $500, NCV

I'd like this as my label, but feel free to suggest a more old-timey font or minor classing up if you think it's lacking:

Thanks!
 
Hey man. I like your design, it's pretty clean and simple and has that old school look. Colors and spots are a subjective, personal decision and totally up to you. I personally think the spots on your 25¢ chip don't contrast enough to the body color, so maybe try a lighter color for those and see what you think? As for your font, it seems to suit the design fine. It's easy enough though, to just go in and change the font and take a second look.
Good Luck on your project!

I see what you're saying about the .25. It's a little boring. It was originally red instead of brown spots. What about more of a butterscotch or cream color to replace the brown?
 
Needs a bit more time.

Don’t rush it, keep painting.

Yes, something like that. I did a quick look and the using TRK colors, light gold or tropicana gold or even salmon may work without popping too much. I personally prefer the "light gold" instead of the tan color to lighten it up just a tad.

I think the salmon looks pretty great!

Ok, I am going to change the name a tad. I think Cedar City Cigar Club sounds better. I also aged the label a bit.

For the NCV chip, I was thinking something like this

The only feedback I really got on another forum that shall remain unnamed is that I needed to go with more muted, washed out colors and a simpler design. I don’t know. Any thoughts?

Just my 2¢. The Inlay ... how much simpler can it get? I like what you've done. Muted, washed out colors? On the inlay or the chips? The chip colors are what YOU want them to be and I know you'll do something that doesn't clash with your inlay. It's pretty hard to mess that up. Yes, the salmon spots on the quarter look fine. I suggested TRK colors because it appeared that's what you were going with. Of course there's a multitude of colors on the "Paulson" side of the chip designer. You're probably going to tweak it until you get the look you're going for and that's the whole point.. what YOU'RE going for. Nothing about the other chips really screams out at me, it was just the quarter chip that seemed like it needed more spot/body contrast.
Again for your title/theme, I like what you've done.
My current Cap-Dash order was done on the "Paulson" side of the designer because that's what I wanted. You do You. (y)
I tend to lean toward the practical side, so the business with "muted, washed out": Will that leave you with a splashed pot that all look like the same chips? TOO muted and washed out leaves little differentiation between chips, IMO.

Yeah, they were saying the chips are too colorful and crazy for my theme. I guess I don’t see that. Thanks for your suggestion on the quarter. I wasn’t going to have one, but figured I should, just in case. I didn’t put as much thought into it as I had the other chips.
