Here are the courts. I am planning to re-design the aces so its more custom

Posted: **Tue Dec 15, 2015 6:36 pm**

Will there be any inks on the courts and embossed tuck? If so, great.

What do you mean by if there will be any inks on the court and tuck?

Posted: **Thu Dec 17, 2015 8:51 am**

Black Version.

Very nice! I think the white tuck would look awesome if it were done with the same material as Blaine's White Lions Series B.

I can only assume he meant metallic inks.

Posted: **Fri Dec 18, 2015 6:19 pm**

Metallic ink! Yes, the cards will be using metallic inks

Heres a mockup of how it would look under lighting.

Since this deck is called Diamond, it better have a shiny element to it somewhere. Looking good.

The front tuck will have Silver foil / Metallic Ink, the cards itself will have metallic ink

Now we have a problem...As I was about to finish everything off I found out that there is a "diamond" deck already.
It is by Diamond Jim Tyler.

There might be some issues with copyright using the same name. And the logo seems similar?
Anyone have ideas what to do?

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2015 10:55 pm**

How about 'Diamonds', 'Diamondz' or 'Gems'?

That could be an option, but still somewhat similar.
I was thinking maybe white version LEGENDS branded and the black version unbranded..

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2015 1:08 pm**

I don't think there will be any copyright issues, also that Diamond deck hasn't been made in a few years.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2015 4:25 pm**

Heres the solution. DIAMONDS instead.
Also i decided to have black version unbranded so its not just a colour change

We are almost ready for launch!

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2015 5:27 pm**

While I still like the deck and think the black tuck is elegant I prefer some sort of branding to no branding. But that's just me

Maybe at the banner under the diamond have it say "DIAMONDS" instead of diamond finish.

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2015 7:36 am**

Good news, I just got the go ahead from Jim that DIAMOND is not trademarked/copyrighted. so its good to go

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2015 8:45 pm**

alvinhy - Looks like your doing pretty good. What do your pips look like? I see you Ace has the shadow of a court card.

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2015 9:47 pm**

Yea that black unbranded tuck would look so awkward without something. So you'll launch again sometime in January?

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2015 10:55 pm**

I could see the appeal of having an unbranded version if you were using a manufacturer's brand (Bicycle, Bee etc), but when it's your own brand then I see no reason for it not being on both decks.

Posted: **Wed Dec 23, 2015 12:42 pm**

There will be some sort of branding just not as prominent like the white version with a big "DIAMONDS" on the top.
Yes, I am looking to launch after new years. People will be busy celebrating

Posted: **Mon Dec 28, 2015 4:04 pm**

And......we have a launch date!

9th January 2016 12PM EST.

Posted: **Sat Jan 02, 2016 2:30 pm**
