Bicycle Nouveau [KS] 2nd try

[bfplayingcards]

I really like the brighter corner dials on 1,2 and 4, but the overall even tone look of the 3rd one, and thing the third option with the higher contract corner dials would looks stellar.

Thank you Justin O. for your opinion  I tried what you said but it didn't look very good. The problem is printing the 3rd option so we're going with a colored version
I tried different options and finally chose the right back; I think it portrays both the Art Nouveau mosaics and our deck's style. Check it out We'll be launching the project on KS this week!

This really looks good.  I feel you have most excellent chances for the launch - perhaps even hitting goal within the first 48-72 hours!

Thank you Will W. and Don Boyer!  This will be the back for a special edition

If I may point out one little thing I notised. I do apologize if it has been brought up before. The court looks great, I like the first one, especially. But in the middle of the yellowish tint, there is a crisp white line around the figure. To me that line breaks the spell of niceness that the rest of the court evokes. Would it be ok to try to give that line a slightly more yellow tint, like the cards background, maybe?

You're right about that Leif, it's a mistake  thank you and it hasn't been brought up before

Happy to back this deck. I have one concern though, the bird logo thing on the tuck looks a whole lot like E's still. Could be a problem, just saying.

Yeah I know, crazy busy days  To be honest that was in a locked layer in an Illustrator file sent by USPC; I didn't make any changes there cos the girl said not to but I'll ask her about it

Happy holidays!

Thank you all!!

No need for the link now - I merged the topics.  We try to keep it to one topic per deck in the Plethora and one in the Design/Dev board as well, so anyone looking for info about the deck later has only one place to look.

The bird is indeed the Ellusionist Playing Card Co. logo, used by magic company Ellusionist to sell their decks for the past several months.  I guess they felt it was better to remove magic branding from the decks to attract collectors and maybe even card players, though the word "Ellusionist" itself would set off some red flags, I would think.  USPC must have included it by accident.

Yeah, they included it by accident. I removed the bird, I'll let them know about this mistake

After our failed campaign, NOUVEAU is back on Kickstarter
You can check out the new project here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cardlauncher/nouveau-playing-cards

NOUVEAU deck is inspired by the historical and mythological heroes and heroines traditionally featured in the French playing cards since the 16th century. As for the art style and design, we wanted to pay tribute to the philosophical and artistic trend Art nouveau, promoted and popularized in France in the late 19th century.

NOUVEAU and NOUVEAU TURQUOISE are fully custom decks manufactured and printed by Expert Playing Cards and designed by Bona fide Playing Cards. Both are limited editions of 1000 decks each (with EPC orders are subjected to an over/under run so we'll probably end anywhere between 1,800 and 2,200 decks) that won't be printed again.

I really want these decks to succeed this time, so I'll be posting Tweets on Twitter, Facebook and other sites like this one:

http://twitter.com/CthulhuWho1/status/579621718144073728

And I'm curious about how well other card collectors think messages like this will work towards card deck projects; and how often I should post them.

Can this topic get updated so the current project and its link and images are at the top instead of the older project links and details?

Let me support you in this. Several modest words...

[HolyJJ]

Aha... printing with Expert Playing Card Company this time round!

Excellent. I've already put in my pledge for 6 decks.

I think it's great that a nice design is going to be printed using superior quality paper and coating

Here's an example of the Twitter promo I just posted for these cards:

[Fess]

Really like the reworked design on these. I think they both look very nice and are wonderful well rounded decks. I'm a bit more partial to the turquoise edition, I like the additional color on the courts quite a bit. Nothing but good things to say about these, from the price point up very nice!

Just a reminder, only 15 days left so I invite you to check it out on Kickstarter if you haven't yet https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cardlauncher/nouveau-playing-cards
I'd like to share with you some of the cards we have so far (you can check out all the artwork in better quality on Kickstarter and our social profiles). Courts of Spades and jokers coming soon

Btw, I'm having some doubts regarding the jokers as the original designs include bicycles (if you've been following our previous attempt, it was a Bicycle deck). I'd rather respect the original design but we haven't decided on it yet. It would be great to have your opinion on this (I'm attaching sketches)
