Ok so we all agree on red pips for the hearts and diamonds on the black cards. What color would the clubs and spades be? Should they be black or that silver/white/grey?

Silver foil!

alvingy - Yea, Red on the outer border would look good on the heart. May I suggest also putting a small outer red border around the "J" to help in identifying the card quickly up close. Maybe you could put a little red on the leaf and axe blade to pop it out from a distance and say I'm a JoH. You are using a traditional theme... Enhance the symbols.

Thanks for the feedback guys

Here is an update of the black version and white version and red pips for hearts and diamonds. As for the spades and clubs, I think having it remain silver would be best. What do you think?

I think this is progressing quite well and I'm glad I cancelled the project at first to make amendments.

I think silver or black on the white cards would be fine. Looking better and better!

No, I think the borders are fine. I meant the spade and club pips.

There's something about the back design, it's lacking color or something. Maybe a lil' red on it or something to make it pop.

Ah I get what you mean, so the pips borders instead of gold have it silver/black

Ill also update the back design

alvinhy - That works too. Now you have Red & Black for your white cards and Silver and Red for your Black cards. I like your signature also.

Your BackofCard in the white is too safe. You can do better. Like the rectangle in the fan... Tired of circles.

Not sure what you mean by rectangle in the fan?

Heres attached updated Spades with silver border for the pips instead of gold.

alvinhy - I'll say Diamond instead of rectangle. It goes with your theme...

I understand what you mean now

I agree, I'll edit the tuck box.

Here's some updates of the colour scheme.

You have a winner on the black suits. But, let's see the red hearts and diamonds. Hopefully the Ace of diamonds gets the Ace of Spades treatment too.

Im debating whether to have all custom aces or just diamonds and spades...

All Aces are becoming more embellished just like the AoS. It is becoming a norm. I feel the Aces are becoming a "1-sided" court card. Usually, the AoS has the signature, but I've noticed some ppl using the Joker. Think about it...

Right now I'm travelling half way around the world, visited LPCC office

got a few souvenirs and discussed some details for the upcoming Diamonds Playing Card deck.

Here is a mockup of the black edition faces. More to come!

I think the red on black look really good. I like what I see.

On the white version, I'd love to see red instead of yellow, or at least a mock up!

These are much better than version 1. You shouldn't problems with these funding!

What do you have for jokers? Maybe diamonds in their eyes?

Unread post by **alvinhy** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 11:06 am

This is the white version. If the gold is turned red, it would be too much.
Also I chose gold so that I can incorporate metallic ink and foil.

As for the jokers, ill create a mockup and post it here soon

Whats left for this project before it goes live is:

1. Collectors Coin
2. Custom Aces
3. Collectors Box

Heres an update for the black version.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Next would be the coin design. Launching soon on Kickstarter!

You changing the original backs still?

I think the black version should get BLACK DIAMONDS on the back of the card! The gray seems out of place IMO.

The colors look great.

I'm not feeling the back too much. It screams "fire" to me and the grey diamonds look out of place.

joeblow · Unread post by **joeblow** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:29 am

Liking the design quite a bit but the colors seem a little off still. The yellow/gold on each deck doesn't look right. Or maybe I'm just fond of yellow at all. If the theme is diamond, don't make the gold the most prominent feature.
