You know... blue/white/brown for a Visa, white background with the red and yellow circles for MC...
Those would be cool.
Another thing to consider is that when card companies move to a new card art / form, they are less incentivized to keep the old ones around as there's a cost to maintain. They have to work with vendors to make sure they can print, manufacture, etc. So the more variations in the marketplace, the more problematic it comes to maintain.
