I don't think anyone is being defensive...I certainly am not. I'm just curious.

I would rather critique something honestly than just blanket praise (which is no different than some of the blanket bashing once the Razor logo was applied).

Regardless, this set is to promote FCB and it will do that quite well...no matter what the cards look like.

Only problem I see is this now cementing this as a Razor board, also this promo does nothing for the less visited forums.

But with that said I think the design is sweet.


it cements nothing

the logo has to be there to show where the licensing came from

I am sure that other site you go to could have had a similar deal were they willing to fork out the money.

They should so I can sell more photos :)

The design of the cards is great! ...and that's not something I say lightly. The only thing I am not a huge fan of is the layout of the FCB logo. Stylish, but it's bit hard to read.

let expound upon my criticism. You can't really tell that it's a 'C' very easily. I get that the point was to make the top of the 'C' continue continue on to the top of the 'F', but it would have to be an intuitive characteristic of the letter 'C' to be striaight at the top for something like that to work in a design like it is now. By intuition the letter 'C' Curves at the top (although not in the resident evil font) so it is not easy to read.

Don't spin too many cycles on it. I'm pretty sure that "logo" will be changing.

I know thats the reason, but if I didnt know better call me crazy but I see 2 logos on 1 card I think they are working together. And why bring up another site, I post on several do you want me to list them so you can watch them also?

And phillyfan I dont recall ever really talking to you, so I guess you must be posting in these razor topics also. So I guess thats also your "job". Keep up the good work.

Great idea to promote the site!
The design is really sharp. I'm a big fan of colorful cards, so I really like the different colors for each player
I wish I could go to the National.

I personally have no problem with the Razor logo, but can it be on the back of the card like a trademark so that there is no problem with the impression that it's a Razor only board? Also the FCB logo looks like CFB to me, not sure how but maybe a change?

Still a fatastic idea, now off to get Beckett to add them to their checklist.

They are free cards used to show off the site. The amount of ******** on here with complaints about any and everything seems to expand daily. This isn't a complaint, just a statement of what I see.

Any chance you can make them slighly bigger than a regular card?
They would really stand out against all of the other cards that will be given out that day.

These arnt FREE cards for us.... they are for advertisment for the message board... hoping to draw more traffic to this board. The National is a nice event to really make this place grow.... I agree with all the others.... the FCB logo should be changed.
