USPCC may print the deck but that is just a service you pay for and doesn't have to be part of the look. But, there are a lot of Bike fans so I can see why you would want the branding. You may get people arguing both sides but it really comes down to what will work best for you in getting the project done to your own satisfaction.
I concur with Dazz! The LE tucks are more unique and interesting, and I would choose those over the Bikes if I had to.

Agreed on non-branded > branded.

th4mo: I touched on all of the same points as you apart from the jokers :D

PRM: I don't think you'd have to do radical changes to the font to make it work a lot better. Something you should do anyway is to have it as close to the edge as possible, USPCC's standard on this is no good and will make fans look horrible. The next thing I would do is to just "squeeze" them slightly (don't know the technical term for this, basically what happens with a picture in paint when you shorten the width of it).

I know "great minds think alike" and all...

But don't you think you should ask before "touching my points..."? :oops:

Ok, I've added some embellishments to the upper 1/4th edge on each card and did a mockup of a fan in photoshop. I think they look great! Thanks for all your help guys. I'll be launching this project in about two weeks. You'll be able to see the rest of the changes then.

All the conversation has me curious and interested. Is it too late to sneak a peek?
