Playing Card Plethora / Fake bees?
« on: August 09, 2013, 06:09:28 PM »
Hi guys, I've just bought a brick of bees online and when they arrived I noticed they had a green logo on the back of the box, I thought nothing of it proceeded to open them and play with them and they handle great!  However out of curiosity I tried to find out what the green logo was for and I came back with a lot of sources saying they are fake chinese ones and they handle so terrible. But then I also found on here that it said there were some genuine ones printed by the uspcc. I was wondering if anyone could confirm this as true or not. They have holographic bees printed along the front of the deck and also the cellophane strip bit is the word bee repeated in blue. Any insight into this deck would be very helpful, thanks guys.

Is there anywhere I can get the standard face cards to have a mess about with that you know of?

Looking through some of the stuff from that era it all looks very geometrical and sharp angled, so maybe something utilising that, like taking all of the curves out of the standard faces, making them more simple and abstract, just made up of shapes. But then again part of me thinks if I am going for the casino style maybe they should have standard faces as all of those did.

I really like luxe, I think that could fit well. And yeah that 50s/60s look is exactly what i'm going for, just getting rid of all the unnecessary fancy new stuff and going back to basics

Yeah i get what you mean about the name haha, I actually came up with the L design before the name and just searched for any word starting with L that could fit, so any other L word recommendations are welcome ;) I'm not sure if i completely understand what you mean about shortening the L, and with regards to borders I was either thinking borderless or as thin as possible borders. I haven't really thought about the faces much yet, they'll probably be quite simple and classic

Design & Development / Design Critique
« on: July 20, 2013, 04:02:08 PM »
Hi guys, I'm Kyle Byrne a young designer and magician from the UK. For a month or so I've been trying to come up with a design for my ideal deck of cards, and so far this is the fruits of my labour, it's still unfinished but I thought i'd bring it to you guys for any criticism, advice or just to see what the general consensus on the idea is. Basically I wanted a deck which was barebones, made for the card cheat, Ladrone means thief in spanish and its from that idea that I've based the design, with a retro spanish style font and the burnt red colour. I didnt want any distracting graphics to take away from the actual skill of card handling. I welcome any comments about how I could improve it and what you feel should be done.
Many Thanks
Kyle
