True, it would get less exposure. And we've even seen good designs go unsuccessful on kickstarter, so I'd think anyone's chances on indiegogo are quite slim. Unfortunately :?

There's a new crowdfunding site launching soon... http://jumpstartcity.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not sure if that will be an option for you

Thanks CBJ,

But... aah!
The real thing is currently happening in kikstarter... :x

Well, I can see why you would not want the Bike logo with that box design (and I know nothing about Japanese aesthetics).

I have never designed an entire deck, so I'm talking a bit out of my lower torso here, but isn't it a bit...backwards to design the box before you design the cards?

That being said, I'm anxious to see the courts!

But... I have posted a court card! Didn't you see it? And I'll post a queen and a King as well.

I see it now, thanks!

Dunno if I missed it before because of a "senior moment", a "post-stroke moment", a brain fart, or what (the way it is shown in my browser makes it easy to miss, I think...

Regardless, I've seen it now, so my apologies.

It shows a similar style to your lovely Bike Butterfly courts, which are my favorite courts of any deck (Bike or otherwise) that I've bought in the past couple of years! (which is why I was anxious to see these courts...

So I guess this nullifies my question about designing the box first...

Haha! Thanks for your appreciation RSL,

Don't apologize, it seems the fault was mine. I had posted a pic that you should scroll down quite a lot to see the court. You saw it now because I edited it. :oops:
I'll add one or two more courts however.

You're quite welcome!

And thank you for creating such lovely decks for us to add to our collections!

A tuck box with Bicycle logo thrown on it, regardless the style, is out of the question self-evidently.
still one of the greatest playing card quotes of all time

I beg to differ:

Apparently this thread came from the before times, when there were like 6 collectors out there.
This is me, though I really should update me.
