Lloyds TSB New Debit Card Designs

I found these (and a few others I didn't save) in a survey I got sent today.

Apparantly they want to show off that they're a London 2012 Olympics sponsor :)

Thoughts? Who'd be proud to carry that in their pocket? Or would you hand it over face-down in the shop?

(I personally prefer the first one - and look, do I see the Visa Paywave symbol creeping in?? :D )

    I work for LTSB, and although I'm proud of us being a sponsor, being a share holder I am rather worried on how much we will chuck at advertsing the fact. Recently every member of staff got a pin badge, and even my business cards have been re-designed.

    Don't know about the paywave thing though.
    Money, money, money, must be funny....in a rich mans world.

    I did that survey too via pureProfile.

    They're all horrible. Even if I was insane enough to go back to Lloyds TSB (and being that insane would involve paranoid schizophrenia, multiple pieces of brain tissue being removed and a week long crack binge), I'd plump for the plain old horse debit card any time. It annoyed me having to choose between them, simply because they're all awful for some strange, indefinable reason.
  • I like the top one

    Don't know about being "proud" if I had it, but I can totally understand Waddy80's post

    they've only just redesigned the cards to have horses on them!!
  • Whilst they chuck money like mad at the London Olympics - they have withdrawn financial support for the Welsh National eisteddfod which had been going on for years.
    They really know to make friends and influence people.

    Why do they have Lisa and Bart Simpson on them? ;)

    LLoyds used to do a design your own card online scheme, you could upload your own photos, and then get them printed onto your debit card, I don't know if they still do this, I know A&L do.

    Personally I am not bothered what is on the card or whether it is a gold, plat, black if any other colour available. I have been many things in life but never a design queen.

    Stop smoking dope fools, get a cash plus gold card and paint it black, flash it to the birds in the club and score....cam on my son! :rotfl:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
