View Full Version : Non sticker idea.
Some of the guys at work had some custom poker chips made up, I am thinking I will get some cigar themed ones made up and given in trades and such instead of stickers, need to come up with a cool idea, maybe some sort of CA, Crazy Inmate of the Asylum type thing :sh
This was their design.

Nice idea Mike. I know the coins/chips will be a lot more expensive than stickers though. :2

Chips are actually pretty cheap, though not as cheap as stickers. 43mm ceramic. I think I will get some done up and then slap you with some :sl :r

Looks like all the photo links are broken (content deleted). I'll go toss my coin the scanner.
BRB.

Make sure you get approval of the ToE if you are going to use anything related to CA... :2

I like the idea. That's the new craze in the military the past couple of years...poker chips. They cost less than 1/3 of what it would cost us to get the metal coins made.
You know you're somebody now when you have a metal coin in the govt.

Yup. 2.5" diameter, 0.25" thick. 6.25oz solid bronze.
I did some Cigar Zombie dog tags. The company I used was awesome to deal with :2

Thanks, I will get the design mocked up in the near future and post it up for everyone to look at and see if they are in, probably using a little CA verbiage so ToE approval will be needed, hopefully it will all be good, will let ya know.

How's this for the flip side? Maybe "Crazy Inmate of the Asylum" around the outer edge of the chip?

Ya? I think that would make a cool poker chip, I need to mock it up on a chip and get some ToE approval :tu

Design looks awesome!
Any Photoshop pro's that could mock this up on a poker chip? The company will do it but I would like to see how it looks (as well as the ToE) before we go to far :r
Have at it, take the pics and put them on a chip and then around the outside edge put Crazy Inmate of the Asylum

I've got PS on the work computer. I'll mock it up on Monday and post it.
Suggestion tho.
Smoke coming out of the windows?

One other suggestion -- make the background around each image a little larger so that when you punch out the circle you are able to have the entire image (I tried and the sides got clipped off).

Just out of curiosity, did this ever go any farther? Still interested if the ToE approves.

It was just approved, I will make a new thread with the details of a group buy when I get a minute :tu

They are going to look like this with "Crazy Inmate of the Asylum" on the rolling edge.
