Title: Bicycle Royal Society Deck
Post by: CBJ on November 03, 2011, 03:42:29 PM: I also stumbled across this, and I'm not sure if they are moving forward to produce this or not.. again they have designed all of their cards

Post by: dmbaggs on March 07, 2012, 01:10:23 PM: eh not a big fan. It just look like a black deck with the glow effect from photoshop. It doesn't look detailed enough to me.

Post by: Paul Carpenter on March 07, 2012, 01:21:42 PM: Welcome to Blursville. They are putting in an effort but the overuse of the blur and glow makes the whole thing look really mushy. And look at the 9 of clubs and how poorly integrated the clubs are on top of the swirly design! Seems to me they got hold of a bunch of curly stock designs (those look really familiar to me...) applied some glow and plopped stuff on top.

Could be very cool but needs a lot of attention to detail I think.

At last! Someone noticed that.

Post by: Evan on March 07, 2012, 02:36:59 PM: The designs are really pixelated too. And if this was printed, it would not look like those pics do.

Post by: Paul Carpenter on March 07, 2012, 02:43:21 PM: Pick a theme, any theme! Come on now designer fellows, don't just throw things onto a card and call it designed.

Post by: NathanCanadas on March 07, 2012, 03:27:11 PM: Personally I think that although these seem really confusing and easy to make, they are a creative idea!
PS: Don, back in the negatives, I see ;)

Post by: Russell CircleCityCards on March 07, 2012, 04:08:35 PM: Ha! The banner used on the back design is the same one I licensed for my Americana decks.

Post by: xZEROx on March 07, 2012, 05:37:34 PM: I actually liked this "glowing effect" on the design...But that's just me I guess.
Title: Re: Bicycle Royal Society Deck
Post by: CBJ on March 07, 2012, 05:53:59 PM: I have no info on this deck.

I'm really not a fan of the "glowing"
But, I'm a Bicycle whore.. so if they branded it.. I'm sure it would end up in my collection

hahah

If it does get printed with Bicycle that is.

Post by: shutupdangit on March 07, 2012, 09:59:50 PM: How come the font on "Royal Society Deck - Angelo Design" is all nice and neon-y and the font and pips on the other cards are all boring?

The Ace of Spades looks okay because the brightness is toned down, but everything else is a visual sensory overload. I hope the reason we haven't heard from them is because they're being redesigned.

Post by: Evan on March 08, 2012, 03:34:35 PM: I'm liking this deck less and less. And since its been around for quite a while with no word on it being printed, I don't think it will end up being printed.
