What design of cards should we make next? (18 Viewers)

[cpac54]

I feel like there are so many card options out there that all look similar from a design point of view. That’s one of the reasons I liked the Faded Spade cards when they showed up on the scene - the design/artwork was fresh.

Would love to see another new option that separates itself a bit from all the other “standard” artwork designs out there.

If these (vintage KEM Seville) are not copyright-protected, they would be ideal as backs. Otherwise, the #3.

Bridge-size Jumbo 2 indexes, or Poker-size Jumbo 4 indexes.

4 indexes, 4 colors would be an extra luxurious option. Provided that blues and greens are light.

Not sure how that yellow will work. May have to refine it some but I like the pattern

 

[doublebooyah85]

Based on the Tangiers chip popularity…id def consider one in addition to these patterns etc

@Cratty and I discussed Tangiers but we may have to wait until the chips get out there. Not sure we can get enough interest to make the minimums

These would be my pick...fine with these colors or whatever else comes up...green/burgundy casino colored backs would be nice.

1 and 2 but prefer a different colour other than yellow. I believe my colour blind reg won't be able to tell the difference with this colour scheme.

I'd have 1 slightly ahead of 2, but this back design of 2 seems fine. Both way ahead of 3 for me. I'd also agree with a couple of others and maybe switch from yellow to a different option.

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

Id buy a bunch of 2 and 3, 1 reminds me too much of a picnic blanket/Easter dress.

It's interesting to see how polarized people are on the whole full-bleed vs. no full-bleed aspect. To those of you who are adamantly opposed to full-bleed cards: do you feel that way because of the ability to "edge sort" them like Phil Ivey used to do?

If so, then the people you play with must be far more talented - and shady - than my poker crew is. I mean from the little bit that I know about edge sorting it sounds like it's not worth all that effort just for a damn home game. LOL

Personally, I think full-bleed cards tend to look pretty cool. But admittedly, out of the 30+ different sets of cards that I own, the only ones that are full-bleed tend to be paper cards specially designed for collectors and/or cardistry (plus one very vintage card setup by Congress). Whereas all of my plastic card setups - which were designed specifically for playing card games like poker - do indeed have a border.

Try Trefl, full bleed plastic cards.
I purchased my set from Surfik here and my crew loves them.

They seem to be durable as hell too.

Not really anything to do with edge sorting (although that can be a thing). To me full bleed backs aesthetically look terrible, hate the look.

It is hard to tell how many cards have been dealt with full bleed cards. They blend together whereas bordered cards are much more discernible.

Yeah they’re polarizing aesthetically. I love them. They feel retro to me, and they’re just unique, compared to everything else out there.
Personally I couldn’t care less about the artwork on the backs of cards; it’s not something that I ever notice. But I do notice full bleed, and I like it. Not sure why it’s a minority opinion, but oh well.

Would definitely buy #2. I love that design

 

[MaxBooster]

@RocAFella1 @JMC9389 @NotRealNameNoSir

We can get them previewed in different colors once we decide on the final design

How would you rate these in order of preference?

1, 2, 3

 

[MaxBooster]

2, 3, 1 for the new back design

 

[Cratty]

I think for the backs, go Shining wild, borderless:

I love the thought of "overlook hotel" cards, but would do them in old casino style.

Quick mockup, fun concept - but likely limited appeal.

These are a fantastic mockup!

I posted separately in the table topper thread about mocking up an overlook hotel/shining carpet-theme table topper as well. The pattern would make a good exterior ring, fading opaque into the betting line. "Overlook Hotel" could be written facing north and south on each end on a wine-color river area. Something like that...

I'd love to make a whole set of stuff, having cards to go with it.

I really like the interlocking pattern idea. Maybe experimenting with the colors might make that one more appealing to folks. In my mind I was thinking of an interlocking lightning bolt type pattern.

 

[justincarothers]

What about the box? Broken arrow design?

New design?

Plain?
Does it matter?

Make a PCF logo on the back of the cards
