Released June, 2013 is yet another "B-Side" Card designed by HIROSHI FUJIWARA. This design is very similar to the mini Leopard from Christmas 2011. The major difference is the coloring of baby blue instead of white.
Unlike Fujiwara's previous releases of only 300 cards, this one was issued in both normal size and mini with 2,000 reported Cards. The SN lighting bolt design is one of his trademarks, and is the same that is on his sneaker design, and the first Starbucks card he produced in 2010 and again in 2011. All of his Card designs have been mini cards until this release.
One notable difference is the wording STARBUCKS, followed by a (R) copyright. We think since this is a private issue that Starbucks forced this copyright on his Card. Also, the font used is considerably larger than previous issues. |
