Help me design my poker chips.

Does anyone have a good idea for what I could put on my custom poker chips?
I am having custom poker chips made for a home game that I run. On each side I have a 1" circle that I can put whatever I want. Within this circle there will be the chip denomination also. I cannot decide what to put in the circle. I have thought of putting an optical illusion on one side but am worried that it may start to bother people after a period of time (especially after a bit of alcohol consumption).
So does anyone have any unique, clever, elegant or funny idea for what I could put on each side?

Sun on one side, moon on the other.

The first thing I thought of was a sweet custom crest. I googled "crest designer" and found a couple websites that look like they would help streamline the process for free. Can't vouch for their quality though.

A sketch of your face with a big shit-eating grin on it.

The word "Dealer" on one side and the words "Big Blind" on the other. I don't see how that would cause any confusion for beer-swilling poker players.

There's a great book called "Gambling Collectables, A Sure Winner" that has a lot of very beautiful vintage images, including a jackpot of gold in scrimshaw that would be my choice.
