What design of cards should we make next? (32 Viewers)

[Cratty]

I can’t understand any issue with either Jacks honestly…but I will say the new clubs are definitely more “squished” and less defined IMO (ie little to no white space between the ‘leaves’). From a distance I do think they will be more easily confused compared to the old clubs.

If I could, I would use the old clubs, or an alternate version, on the new cards, just to make it even more clear.

These were the original clubs/spades that I recalled, not sure if these were on the yellow boxed set or not, but these raised a few notes of confusion by folks.

Original V1:

If lots of folks start noting concerns on the current professional/signature spade & club though, I’d be happy to change to the other club design back to the original V2 below (if that resolves the concern & if Justin also supports). I just suspect the legibility concern is a partial knee-jerk from playing with the V1 just prior, as folks typically want to over swing some after an issue.

That said, any and all feedback must come with a signed waiver that the individual’s prescription is up to date, and they’re not trying to infiltrate games with a 4 color deck agenda.

Professional vs Original V2:

Oh wow, ya V1 was tough lol.

And thanks for the comparisons of V2 vs Professional. Definitely more legible but the professional are more like a V1.5 vs the “skinny” one being a V2, if that makes sense. I’d support the V2 club being used, my thought would be to err on the side of caution.

Now, this is just me being annoying and anal…but is there a reason for the club being smaller than all the other suits?

No reason for the club being slightly shorter, not sure if that was how I submitted or the manufacturers changes (as they adjusted a few things), but a detail that I don’t pickup in person and wasn’t worth an adjustment. Every adjustment adds potential confusion and errors, especially when working with a foreign language native.

I think it might be partially design intent though and just an artifact of the club having a curved vs pointed top. If you grow the club the weight would seem too large.. but would need to take actually take another look at the art.

Makes sense, and you’re right, not a big deal, but you’ve probably seen how picky I can be and since the design is being discussed I had to ask lol

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, and errors are largely the reason I’m hesitant in doing any design work with Tina/etc on existing designs that are “good”. Too difficult to communicate, and too easy to introduce new issues/errors with every small desired adjustment. IMO issues or changes need to be pretty substantial to want to take the risk in not getting something else wrong.

I still think Justin might have a hernia from the back/forth we had regarding the dozens of Tangiers changes and the amount of arguing between Tina and I. Ha

is there enough interest around to justify one run of a standard index bridge size?

Made a pretty robust but quick anonymous survey… curious if folks can access and take it (first time using jotform). I’m sure the poll isn’t perfect, but hoping it should help some with determining priorities/interest.

Granted might need a good handful of responses to get good data.

Main priority, keep the arrowhead AOS.
