Title: New Deck - Helveticards
Post by: Paul Carpenter on November 07, 2011, 03:59:32 PM: OK, I guess these aren't exactly new, and unless you are a graphic designer you probably wouldn't have run across these, but I saw them today and am going to try to get a deck. Not sure what stock or finish they use or where they were printed but they are definitely a lot more unique than most everything we see normally. Don't imagine they are USPCC quality but as a graphic designer I just can't pass them up.

Post by: sinsandman on November 07, 2011, 04:15:16 PM: I might pick up a deck or 2 just to have them in the collection, once they are restocked...Fab.com is legit, I have done a lot of business with them. Let me know if anyone wants an invite?

Do they still have all of the t11 stuff on there, because I can't seem to find it anywhere.

No, it's not by USPCC. Also, am I the only one who doesn't like the look of this deck?

Post by: Paul Carpenter on November 07, 2011, 07:39:28 PM: I honestly don't love the look *as playing cards* but appreciate them as a design exercise. Helvetica is a classic and beautiful font that I have used a lot over the years. I don't imagine these will handle very well for cardistry purposes but I'm ok with tossing the designer a few bucks for his effort, and it will certainly look different from any other deck I have. :)
