Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
Hmmmyes. I think borderless works better for this design. Do you know the guy who can put USPCC's decks into 3rd party boxes? Ideal solution - to print boxes in China (as I have no idea how to produce this box with cold foil elsewhere) and cards with USPCC. Remember - it's a gradient! I can't use one color foil in this project. Silver foil will be overprinted by the color/gradient I need.

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
Left box is the original one. Do you think that other two are better?
p.s. box's sides will be tweaked before the release if I go with #2 or #3. Front bottom boxes are all #3
And yes...I like #3 Well...back design ???

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
Ok. It's my 2nd attempt to add borders And now I'll keep them in the release. IMHO borderless version of the back looks cheap (for this design).

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
Design is a process. I am very limited by the borderless back design. It does not work well with court cards. I can also change the color scheme from green . It''s the WAVE deckBruno wrote:sigh.

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
I'll admit that I did not care for the original design; hated it actually. I own your other decks and was frankly disappointed. However, I really like the direction in which you have gone. The waves on the faces really flow now. I agree with your decision on the bordered back- I think border less would look a bit cheap. The "lightning bolt" back really improves the visual interest. The ice blue really sealed it for me however. I think bold colors rather than pastels really makes the back design feel more powerful. I would to see an "ice" green. In any case, this is quickly turning into a "must have" for me. Keep up the good work- it's only getting better.

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
I have to disagree, respectfully of course. The lightning bolt is exactly that, and thus is more removed from the original "wave" concept IMO. I also think not offerings these in a borderless version would be a travesty, but I think everyone here knows my feelings towards bordersflashcards wrote:I'll admit that I did not care for the original design; hated it actually.

Totally agree about the faces though, they have greatly improved!

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
yes, thanks for ideas and comments!
1. I think I am not ready for Kickstarter this Saturday
2. I have not posted ULTRA edition cards. Of course they are ready. It''s not a big deal. Same faces will be used BUT with horizontal symmetry instead of vertical one. Second difference - the background.
3. I am trying to catch the right color scheme for the ULTRA edition back/tuck

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
I have to agree with everything Tom said above: if there were a borderless version, I would be totally ordering a bunch more. I will still back the project if there isn't a borderless option, but your original ideas of a borderless back really worked for me, and would pry more money out of my wallet.
Different strokes for different folks, and all that.
I also agree that your court cards and faces are looking much stronger than they were, and I already liked them in general from the outset.

Re: NEO:WAVE by Montenzi
Still cannot create anything good with the borderless back Every single version looks cheap
Current status:
1. I want to mute bright red by adding line waves to both sides of the card
2. I think the ULTRA edition is ok without a band and with different symmetry
3. Back colors should not be too bright (they will be darker when printed)
4. What about this background style? Playable?
