Amongst the various feedback comments when the Paisleys were introduced, the suggestions and requests for back colors was overwhelming. So to appease those requests, Desjgn proudly introduces Brown Topaz to the color line up for Classic Culture! Are you happy now?! :-)

Sample Classic Culture deck received

On Monday I received a sample deck of the Classic Cultures. It is the final proof of seeing how the graphics print both front and back before mass production can begin. I was thrilled to see how well the back design looked. It was the black onyx color and it just looked sharp! Overall the faces were crisp and printed correctly, although I noticed a few things immediately that were incorrect: the 7-10 on spades, diamonds, and hearts weren't updated files and one of the diamond jack's eyes didn't print properly. The jokers were sized down a bit due to the text being so close the plastic's edge in the original design. I didn't like that they were re-sized so I revisited and re-designed the jokers which will look more clean and simple.
All issues have been rectified and will soon have a final proof to approve.
Overall, they are looking good and the plastic material, which will be a little thinner than the Paisleys, really handles well and has a good snap. I just can't wait until these arrive in October!

Another popular combo from the Paisley release is Yellow Zircon paired with Black Onyx. Although it pairs well with other colors, I believe this particular combo inspired other manufacturers to release the gold/black combo which also look good.
One complaint with the first Yellow Zircon was its brightness. This was due to a printing error as it should have been a deeper, mustard yellow. This will be updated for the Classic Culture release.
