Library card redesign

Obviously I'm not proposing writing it in words.

I'm generally thinking of using different icons for the cost or different placement for the icon or something like it.

I still don't like card type icons and "costs 1 blood" text.

Life, strength and bleed of Allies need to be represented by icons and be not in the text box (at the right border, for example).

Same here. I would drop those icons everywhere and do the same to "costs 1 blood" text to show more of the card's art

I feel that space is better used for "Ghoul with 5 Life, 4 Strength, and 0 Bleed." because that would be Bolded on the the card.

Totally agree on this.

I do like Ke's card name's more than the ones you used -larger font; more visibility.

If we're not going to use the current pool cost icon (Which I very much think that we should to try to keep consistency between iterations), could the number be made larger, and the icon smaller? the Icon currently looks too large to my eyes, when compared to the number inside it.

I do like your blood cost symbol more -more traditional one and less brutal.

[super clean]

[transparent texture]

[stupid icons; white text box]

[stupid icons; textured text box]

1) I like the icons for the Ally Stats. They are generic enough, maybe use a "medical cross" for life.
2) In general I like the core format Ke has made
3) I like the white box/black box design.

First mummy looks best to me. Hate those symbols for life/ strenght, etc. and white box looks much better than transparent. I would be tempted to move artist's name to the side or at the top of black box and then move all text sections a little down to show more of card's picture
