BAEC Card Design
Sounds a bit sad, I know, but does anyone have a picture of what the 4 different BAEC cards look like (Blue, Silver, Gold, Premier)? I'm mainly interested in the design of the new cards, although for nostalgia, I'd also like images of the old design too

. I think there might be a slight problem trying to persuade BAEC that I had a gold status (in fact, why not go for permier???) simply because I had a card . I just like the design and have never seen what a premier card looks like. I currently have blue, and had one of the old-style silvers a few years back and i'd just like to see what all the new cards look like together

Or use the high res (almost DIY quality) images

Here's the prem card but certainly not DIY quality - except from a (very long) distance

I have to say that I think the design is a vast improvement on the old style cards. Then again, I like the minimalist look
I think the reason these cards look brighter than the actual cards is that these images are designed for reproduction in magazines and websites etc. I would imagine they have used the same artwork on the actual cards, but the colours will differ because of the different print process used.
These are ideal for me, as it's just the look of the cards I was after
