Oooo I like that the special edition is the one with solid pips, that's a nice change. Love them.

Both are very tasteful. I could go either way, both appeal to me.

Thanks for the kind comments! We started the back design, and the current sketch looks amazing!! I can't wait to show you guys.

Let us know what you think! I'm really happy with this.

[CallOn84]

The back design has been completed.

We have two versions of the standard edition that I want you all to have a look at and decide which one is better.

Here's is version 1:

Here's version 2:

We also have the final design of the limited edition as well:

Let me know what you guys think!

The limited back design looks stunning,

As for the standard one I kinda like version 2 more, looks more cohesive.

Thanks for the kind comments! I'm going to see others are saying and we'll have the team experiment with a couple of versions.

[PiazzaDelivery]

I think version 1 of the standard looks much better. My first thought was needs more contrast, and a monochromatic back instantly makes me think of Riffle Shuffle and thus lowers my estimation of the design. But yeah the limited is great.

Interesting point made here. I'm going to let things stew before deciding on what to go for.

The Limited Edition back is stunning and I could just about be sold for the solid spade pips alone. My only reservation is the club pips

Hi. Thanks for the kind comments! Could you let me know what reservations you have towards the club pip?

[rousselle]

Between Version 1 and Version 2 of the backs, I'd go Version 1 all the way. The Limited version is absolutely top notch.

I agree, our illustrator really pulled all the stops for the Limited Edition. As for the Standard Edition, we're working on a couple of revisions to experiment other options. I'll post them here once I get them, as always.
