I feel that #3 is the best out of the four, it gives a cleaner look as compared to #4

I agree it looks cleaner, but the raven(s) being white just doesn't look right.

Agree, I like #4, but the #2/3 do look cleaner. What if you lighted up the background/sky/rays coming out of the raven in #4? That would make it more prominent and get more of a cleaner look. #1 devalues the ritual look with a spade and #5 is just too simple.

I vote for #4 and the #5 I assume is the inside of the tuck? That gets my vote as well. :)

First off - big congrats on your Wedding!

That video is epic - love it!

For me tuck 3 is a winner. Maybe even tuck 2...

Thanks for the feedback. I've tweaked the 2 most popular. #1 is a better balance for the back but #2 is cleaner, what do you think?

And #5 on my last post was the inside design, like a box of crows trying to escape ;)

@52Ravens - #1 of course cos it goes with your them. Who is making your deck? Stock and finish? and maybe the year 2014 should be on your tuck box.

I like the cleaner version of #1 over the white one now. But i also i think that if you could include an intricate pattern like on your 4 corners on the tuck flap it would be better than the ravens, afterall the ravens are already present on the front and back of the tuckbox and doesnt quite fit with the flap.

@sprouts, by the time the deck is printed probably 2015, but really its not necessary, if you are going for a second print run, make changes! Why keep the same design !!

Yeah #1 was the winner out of the two for my too. I think I'll make the crows a little bigger and tone down the outer shadowing.

@volantangel, I agree, I'll take a look at the flap and show you guys another version, I wasn't happy with another repeat of the crow but wanted someone to agree with me haha

Finally have the fulfilment company sorted, EPCC will be printing these so I have that, the box is almost there, just a couple of tweaks on the video and this is ready to go live...time to bite the bullet!

Easily my most anticipated deck of 2015 (along with S17 v2) at the moment :)

Do you have an anticipated launch date yet? This is pretty selfish, but I'm hoping it's not with in the next two weeks, because I'm already spread too thin between Uusi Classic and Delirium. But I'm guessing so are other people, too. And then there are the holidays... I might be wrong, but I think we're getting closer to that time of the year when it's the most difficult for projects to fund (although I do have great confidence in this one).

I totally agree, ive been spread wayyy too thin this last two months, a good design can wait for a good time, and you have one that is stunning.

Hi Guys

I have to agree and was on the verge of doing this with the crappy delays I've had with Kickstarter. Even though my project will be shipped from the US, I can't set the project up with US dollars as I'm based in the UK and don't have a US bank account. Then the issue of including US postage wasn't straight forward as it was basing my starting point from the UK.

But all that is sorted now and has put me back again. I wanted this live on Halloween but what can you do?!

So now the project will be in UK £ with US shipping included, am I the only one that thinks that will look suspicious?

Though this will kill me, January 1st will be the launch day for this project. :(

Was hoping for sooner, but as long is it happens and I can get mine that's fine. Actually, perhaps that will be a better time (or worse), but right now there's a lot of over saturation and cut back on spending with upcoming holidays at the same time. Good luck and glad to hear this is still in progress!

Nah, I don't think including US shipping looks suspicious. It's happened with other projects, where the creator is based in another country, but the fulfillment center is in the US. Maybe you can explain it in the FAQ section, just in case :)
