Hey, Jason.

What we have here so far isn't really a deck yet.  It's a few possible backs and an Ace of Spades, all of which so far is rather generic.  Perhaps if you showed more of the deck concept or discussed what your inspiration and aspirations are regarding the deck, it might help give us something to work with in terms of giving you advice.

Two pieces of advice that would apply to any deck designer:

1) If you're making a deck, especially a deck in a theme that's been done before, you'd better make your deck better than everything that came before it if you want to catch people's attention.

2) Being "unique" and being "good" are not always the same thing.  Don't be unique for the sake of being unique and nothing else.  It tends to lead people to create decks that are too unique for their own good.  Have a reason for being unique and make it a good one.

Thank Don,
Actually this deck is inspirited by the square shirt that usually people wear it.
For this concept I want something elegant and simple so I use the bee deck as the reference to design this back design.
I personally will use the blue back design for the final concept but need some suggestion for improvement to this back design

Perhaps you should make it look more like the shirt, if that's your inspiration.  Lighter colors and a pattern of squares instead of diamonds.

I like the idea, but I agree with Don on the orientation of the stripes. Make them horizontal/vertical instead. I kind of picked up a tablecloth/picnic vibe at first.
