Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the suggestions on the AVES deck! New name AVES (instead of simply "BIRD") and for adding more detail to the card back to erase those white corners. The fan looks amazing... The AVES deck launches on Kickstarter tomorrow, September 1, at 11am central time. Talk to you soon! - Bryan

@luxplayingcards - Bad timing. You might want to hold off for at least 15 days. There is this person called Jackson Robinson. He is what we call a $100,000 big dog. Do you hear that? Ssssssuuuurrrppp!!!.... That's the sound of money going to his project instead of yours. You have to respect the big dog. You need to get pass 25% funded in your first week to make it.

Definitely a good improvement overall, but the unbranded tuck still needs work - lots, frankly. 2500 decks split between the two should work, though.

This deck needs to turn out really colorful. The unbranded tuck looks so awkward.

Aves Bird Playing Card (Kickstarter)

Unread post by david0604 »

Hi everybody!
I just wanted to share about the Aves Bird Playing cards. #LuxPlayingCards
They are really cool, and they have 10 days left in their campaign so I wish you would check it out.:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-deck-inspired" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The deck of cards about the Aves birds. Will be printed by the USPCC. It has a really cool back design that is worth getting. It is eye catching and will look very good in your deck collection.
Hope everybody checks the campaign out..and backs it!

Thanks.

I didn't buy into these when it was on Kickstarter, but seeing them up close in person really hit it home for me. These cards are beautiful and I think this back design might be one of my favorites. :)

I really looked forward to these but was disappointed when I got them. The white borders are much thicker than the renders shown on the KS campaign (or few posts above).

So they have decided to launch another Bicycle Aves on Kickstarter, including a tuck swap, though I don't see any major differences from the first version.

I have to agree. To much white in a fan is not good. It's like looking at the middle flag below in a low wind. All you will see is white. White means surrender. The Confederates made a bad choice when chosen their 2nd flag. It has the battle flag which is good, but they broke a major rule in flag making... If you have not noticed cards have rules too... It starts with the indices...
