Hasta la Visa

[Andrew Boulton]

My bank has started offering personalised credit cards. I gotta say, I'm really tempted...

The obvious one would seem to be a Traveller's Aid Society card theme. Though any of your art would be great.

Personalized as in you supply the artwork??? How f'ing cool is that?!?!?!??? Pity BofA (Bank of America) will likely never do it.

Impressive.

Almost makes me want to move back to the UK.

Cool? Pity the poor shop staff who have to look and smile at pictures of Mrs X's grandchildren all day.

So....

Do you have to be a UK citizen to get one of these?

Yup. You can try it out on the Natwest website:

You probably have to live here, at least.

That is cool.

And by the way, Jesse, you mean BoA, as in boa, as in "constrictor." 'Cause BoA's a snake!

So you're saying that you wouldn't mind if I crashed at you place?

 

[ravells]

Great Thread title and cool concept!

Had a quick play, but don't think I'm ready to move banks just for this though. It would be nice to have though.

 

[Valarian]

Hmm .... wonder what they'd make of this?

 

[ravells]

What would be really cool would be to photoshop lots of technobabble etc to make the card look like a science fictiony card with little LEDs, text windows etc. Or you dress it up as a security access card. That might be quite nifty too.

 

[far-trader]

Something like this as a starting point is what I was thinking. Even as an end if you like a CT LBB minimalist look

Might not pass the bank's various limitations though.

If only it was American Express, then I'd tag the slogan "Don't leave Homeworld without it!" for the commercials

I was debating adding a matching "EXIT" logo just in front of the VISA, maybe I still will just for a giggle :smirk:

Nah, can't match the font. Oh well, just as well I'm sure.

 

[jfetters]

Love the TAS card! (and the others, for that matter...)

 

[Fritz_Brown]

Though I like Andrew's first pick, you would need to move the Beowulf up to the top of the card to make it work well in offsetting the numbers. You don't want nothing but starry expanse at the top of the card. (Though, I like the TAS card best. )

 

[ravells]

The TAS card is inspired! I'm going to have a go at another idea tonight!

Just as a matter of interest, proper punctuation would dictate that there be an apotostrophe after the 's' in Travellers in 'Travellers' Aid Society', but does it appear in the official books?

Today in Barnsley it's 1C and misty. In Knoxville it's 15C and sunny. I think I'll come to your place!

It does.

Zirunkariish works quite well:

Just give me enough time to clean up the spare bedroom.
