Card Back based on vintage Bicycle decks

Unread post by RandCo »

I am working on a new custom deck project which will have card backs based on vintage Bicycle decks. I am looking at 2 options for the color. The first is a classic one color black and the other is a 2 color black and metallic gold. The gold would be a bright yellow gold, not the more bronze colored standard Bicycle gold. Which do you think collectors and players would prefer?

p.s. Knowledgeable collectors can make a quiz of the different decks which the card elements came from (some have been modified slightly).

In my opinion the golden one looks much, much better. The black/white color scheme looks a bit dull, although the design is very nice.

But that's just me.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

I second the golden one - it's very nice! Have you thought about a green version...? green is my favorite color so :roll:
