Maybe the controls in the background are unnecessary.

Here's a version without the controls, arches replaced by lines, and screws in the bezel. I think the raised screws would look very cool in relief, almost real. Just felt it'd be fun to have some sort of actual construction reference in there.

Also fixed the shadow around the button bezel to actually follow the plunger. Drew... I know it still doesn't extend to the edge but the idea is to keep the button feeling more graphic/iconic than literal. Your comments in the other thread did help me tweak the thing tho.

Pixel:  The shadow/background in the center of the "C" on the most recent design looks odd. 

Other than that, the rays in the top half have me running around screaming "Kamakazi".  Which is kind of fun.

Here's a coin design I just did. The actual coin design probably could use some further refinement, but I like how the "pixel head" character looks, because I think that the front side of the coin needs to have a face on it. With "Pixel Head", hopefully you can tell that he's supposed to be video game related, but since I made him he's not copywritten and therefor there wouldn't be any legal entanglements involved like with Pac-Man or a Space Invader.

I like the joy in the forground, but the date on the ball would be too small. would rather see date bigger in the gray on the right of the joy. otherwise i like the design.

Not only that, you'd have to buy 10 times the amount you wanted to buy since having those "details" on the coin, slipping a few in your pocket....guys would be stealing those from you left and right ;)

The "sunrise" background reminds me of (is it Japan?) the kamikaze pilot's headbands you see in all the hokey movies.  I don't know if that means I like it or not yet.

Hi all, Just checking in.  I have been insanely busy at work and building a shelf unit for my home office.  (Thread to follow when I am done.)

It has been a few weeeks and I guess we have seen the bulk of the entries, I will try to post some polls this weekend. Given the limited enthusiasm for the design threads, I hope we will have enough demand to make these this year.  We'll see.

The lack of thread traffic may stem from having them posted in the artwork forum, instead of the main forum.

I agree. While the design thread probably does belong in "artwork," it isn't a very widely read forum.

They were always linked up from the sticky at the top of the main forum last year, though.

The dots should become screws, or the screws should become dots.  It would look better if they were the same.

I vote the screws, even though im not convinced they'll actually look like screws.

As for the text on the "back side" of the token, I still think something arcady like "no cash value" is in order.  ;)

What's Nice about having an upright on one side and a cocktail on the other is that when I have to tell my 2 kids they have to flip to see who is playing first. We can say Uprights or tails.

My final "front" I still need to adjust a couple of lines behind the logo but I'll wait to do so if it's a final contender.
