I've been very stand offish about posting anything here about the Loop Cuts deck in progress with so much still in development but we have reached a point where I think it is safe to share. Loop Cuts team has been working on a deck for the past 3-4 months and it has taken many forms in the process of it's creation. The deck will go to Kickstarter this summer in hopes of reaching the goal to have a 2500 print run. The deck is at this time known only as Loop Cuts Playing Cards but is still in debate over a Bicycle Brand. It will sport the standard Bicycle stock with a Magic finish. The Box is still in development along with the jokers.

Cheers

Court Card Preview

(sorry for the double post) Couldn't fit all the files in the last.

These look really, really hot. Loving the custom pips and layout. I hope you guys do colors other than purple, too.

I'm liking what I see so far as well. My only issue would be about how common it's become for a deck to do a "three-color" scheme for the courts - white, black/greyscale, and "pick-a-popular-color". Plus I like purple as much as the next person, but it's also getting a little too common in custom decks from designers big and small.

The actual design is splendid and I could see this deck being a big hit. As Alex suggested, look into making a poker pair, at least two different colors of the back to offer.

Is it just me or is the font for the King not in sync with the font for the rest of the deck. I prefer the standard font used on the King.

You are correct. We have been experimenting with different fonts and your seeing the mix of it all.

Double-check the indices on the KH.

Lol, thanks

I will definately back these. I love purple. I'd prefer green though. Is there any chance it will be made in green? I also love the ace of clubs.it seems to fit more than the other 3. And it kind of reminds me of the black artifice ace of clubs.

The ace of clubs looks like the Bonnaroo logo.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #11 on:** May 02, 2013, 08:56:08 PM »

It would be a more consistent design if the top "leaf" of the club was filled in solid and the two sides leaves formed the infinity symbol. And there would be less risk of a cease-and-desist, too! Too much prior art on the infinity symbol for anyone to claim it.

Alex Willis · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2013, 08:11:00 AM »

No TM on bonaroo, but I agree, to be consistent the top loop on the club would look better filled in. I don't care, I'm getting one of these anyway! And I hate purple! Now if you did mustard, I'd get two decks.

Thanks for all the feed back. It's always helps to get a little insight from others to see things differently. I have some good news. We will be submitting the art work to the USPCC Monday morning!

Cheers

We are finishing up the art and sending it to the USPCC tonight! Finally

The font on the sides, make it shorter vertically by about 15%-20%

Alex Willis · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2013, 07:41:48 AM »

Is there supposed to be something in between the words: The Official Playing Cards, or is that part of the design?

Sweet. So when I carefully cut the seal I'll make sure not to accidentally remove it.

New update for everyone! We received the digital proofs and we are in the middle of our trailer. I'll have some more images posted tomorrow morning that everyone should enjoy.

There seems to be a tree embedded in your box.

Love the cards, not the box. Do you sign your uncut sheets?

The box is just showing the reflection around it. It's mirrored
