New card design

You might have already noticed that we tweaked the cards a little. We think they look better now and as a bonus the numbers should be easier to read. Just in case you don’t remember the old cards, here’s the Jack of Clubs:
| Old: | New: |
 |
 |
The J is more legible now and not stuck into the top of the suit. The corners on the card are correctly rounded now, and the border is cleaner. Here’s another example:
| Old: | New: |
 |

Again, the rank (“9”) is much clearer now.
We’ve been playing with these cards ourselves for a few months and have really grown to like the changes. We hope you do too.
I noticed these cards right away and sorry, but I don’t like them at all. They look like fugly old people cards — the kind that have to be used by people who need very strong glasses.
Kat: To be truthful, I wasn’t completely sold on them at first. Even such a subtle font change affects the overall look a great deal. But try using them for a week or so–I think they will grow on you and then you’ll suddenly realize you like them a whole lot. Let us know if this doesn’t happen. 🙂
I noticed them, at first, too, for about five minutes, but today I’ve forgotten they’ve been changed.
As long as you only switch the colours one day a year… the cards are great!
I didnt like them and thought my computer had done something terrible to the graphics. If people cant read the numbers there is already the option the change the size of the picture on the screen. However, thanks for trying.
Hallo Jim and David,
the new cards are better to realize. For example the knave of clubs: the symbol is separate from the number, it´s a better graphic solution. Perhaps a good preparation for the “Iphone” project ?

Snazzy! Great job! Nice, artful look.
Like the changes, thanks for your care in designing the game
