Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
I like C but it's too close to De'vo's Dominions so I vote B! I like the little "17" reminders
And I guess you can see the cats better.

Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
Out of those 3 options, I like A. But it would be interesting to see what option C looks like with black instead of gray around the cats.

Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
Thanks for doing the mock up! I agree red cats are a bit much. But Bike might be on to something. Here's a state of the art iPad Photoshop mock up of mine. I think it looks pretty wicked.
But as you said, mo' bling = mo' money. How much more costly would a change like that be? Do you have a guesstimate as to how much it would be per deck based on original design?

Not bad, Dan. But, uh, wasn't the whole point of this that the cats should be red? 
Looks nice though!

Very true. But LG said red cats definitely not. So..I'll take whatever gets more sexy foil on those cards.MagikFingerz wrote:Not bad, Dan. But, uh, wasn't the whole point of this that the cats should be red?

Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
hi guys, thanx for the comments
Before those 3 options I did a lot of tests.
I do not have a quotation yet, I just know it is crazy expensive. The bigger are the red areas, the higher is the cost.
I was thinking of doing A, but B is better. C not, it is just too much red
Egohann, thanx for submitting the idea. The contrast is nice... but the red eyes disappear almost completely.

Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
I love the motion of the cats on the back and although not very true to the deck's title, I vote for Dan's version
It's always the creator's headache to decide what to keep and what to leave depending on the theme, style etc. But I think that the red background works here.

Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
Guys!
I am willing to launch in October, in 10 days or less.
The plan was to launch in september. I just posted this on fb

This version is called "Red Label" and it is the brother of the Crown Edition. It will be released during the kickstarter campaign (price, quantity, release date and time not set).
>>>Pre-orders not allowed!<<<
As always it will be part of the kickstarter campaign, I will try to make everybody happy and have a decent quantity that does not go sold out after 2 minutes.
The tuckbox will be the same as the regular deck, without foiling and embossing. I will apply a custom laser-cut sleeve made of red metallic paper, with gold foil underneath on the front part. The back side of this deck will be unveiled later on. Signed and numbered as always.
more to come, stay tuned!

Re: No.17 Playing Cards "Le Chat Rouge"
Unfortunately, I lose the time zone lottery on this one. It ends up being 3:00am for me.
Can you post a preview Kickstarter link so we can look through the tiers, and help make the decision easier (or harder) about trying to stay up, wreck the next day, or just wait until the morning? Thanks in advance.
