If designers got together and banned the following three things, what would playing cards look like? 

I propose (only half in jest) no more use of:

- Two circles on the back, symmetrically laid out
- Victorian, flowery curlicues
- Skulls of any kind

 :P

Dammit, so sculls inside of two circles-surrounded by Victorian flowers is not good. Shit, now I have to start over.  :-[

Could someone please make a deck back mock-up with all three of the concepts (with steam punk elements included :P)

Haha, excellent. Oddly, if you refined that just a little and put it on Kickstarter it would be a bit nicer than more than a few projects on there.   ;D

Looks great... But I would prefer it with gilded edges. And cogs.
This will be extremely limited?

Okay, I know I'm new here and everything, but damn hell that was funny. That should  the new welcome poster. Membership would skyrocket. Or plummet.
