Hey guys, I just designed an ace of spades to be my logo for my new youtube channel. It's called Cardistree, which inspired this design. Let me know your ideas about it, I'm open to anything!

dmbaggs · « **Reply #1 on:** January 04, 2012, 10:01:28 PM »

Haha I dig the design. It's a little wide though. If you tightened it up a little I think it would look extra sharp.

Derek · « **Reply #2 on:** January 04, 2012, 10:06:53 PM »

I agree, looks better!

I love it and I love the name!

It looks like something Ncyclopedia would have on the transformation deck, which is a huge compliment.

Thank you! That's a huge compliment because his deck made my jaw drop... I respect his work immensely, can't wait for it to be printed!

No sir... but I'm starting to like the idea of it. I know if I start I'll be completely obsessed with it

The Cardistree deck! Its such a great idea for all of us in the community. You could really go far with this deck

I would love to do it! Here's a quick 2 minute design for the Ace of Spades...

Evan · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:01:18 PM »

Looks really good!
What does it say on the tree?
And the pips in the corners look a little sloppy.

But if you did that in 2 minutes... you can do a lot in 10

or more

moonexe · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:04:24 PM »

That tree looks really nice, I never realized how easy it would've been to fit a tree in a spade shape.

Haha I honestly don't like the pips or the 'A', I just wanted to get the overall look.
On the tree it says 'JU & DW" My friend's initials and mine. If I were to make it into an actual deck, I'd probably leave them out.

Derek · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:35:53 PM »

This took about 5 seconds, but you get the picture - possible ace of hearts.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2012, 05:25:38 AM »

The heart looks like the spade's roots! These are cool designs. Imagine a card back in this theme...

dmbaggs · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:08:36 AM »

Yeah it looks much better with it being less wide!! Haha that would be a funny deck with the pun and all.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #15 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:51:09 AM »

Cool idea: add the shadow that the tree would cast if it was real!

So, when do we get to see the club and the diamond?

Lushbob · « **Reply #16 on:** January 05, 2012, 11:44:04 AM »

Those designs look pretty awesome!
I'd be interested in seeng the rest of this not-yet-existent deck!

IAmTheChin · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2012, 12:23:19 PM »

Your name made me laugh. Very clever. I like both the heart and spade design but there a bit of inconsistency in theme. The heart looks like a heart with veins. The Spades look like a branch and root system. Love both ideas especially since they keep the same rhythm, but combining the two may be a challenge in the future as far as theme goes. Of course the Transformation deck showed us that Variety is a them in itself. But seriously, your name, love it lol.

Thanks for the ideas! Honestly, all I've actually put any work into is the Spade design thus far. If I commit to making a whole deck then I'll definitely make sure the heart, diamond, and clubs match the theme.

Derek · « **Reply #19 on:** January 05, 2012, 01:26:41 PM »

Clubs would look something like this

Emmanuel · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2012, 03:24:28 PM »

Very nice work, and I love the name!

dee1orean · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2012, 05:10:12 PM »

Cardistree deck.... I'd copyright that right now if I was you!

If you wanted to persue this as a full deck, I think with a bit of work you could be onto a winner.

I'd be interested in seeing how you'd incorporate the court cards..

dmbaggs · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:52:04 PM »

Yeah custom court cards would be hard with this theme. I'd be interested to see what you come up with

Derek · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2012, 08:33:35 PM »

I'll probably team up with my sister on this if I decide to go forward with a whole deck. She's an amazing artist and is very talented with pattern design and these types of things.

Ever see pictures of "old man Nature" in the form of a face in a tree? Awesome concept for a King...
