Lions, Dragons, Deer, and Dire Wolves, immortally captured on Bicycle Branded Playing Cards. These animals are at war… This is a set of Playing Cards showing four animal factions, personified as the Court of each Suit. Brett Dudo in collaboration with Anita Birgány (handled the wildlife) and Eleanor Lutz (designed the unusual and very interesting back design) created a concept of this deck. This poker deck is planned to be printed by USPCC.
Very simple but funny playing cards designed by playing card collector Nuria Rodríguez (UK).

These playing cards (a project) were designed by Hungarian artist AXL (nickname). His main inspirations for creating the deck were: the black and white world of the film noir genre, paper collages and the style of cigarette cartons with parallel lines and geometric shapes. AXL adhered to the rotated figures of traditional playing cards and he also kept the line-drawing style.
The artists used the four suits of playing cards to describe the different groups of characters. Basically the figures under the same sign are together, like they were in a film situation. He revealed the face and only one hand of each character to explore its personality and insider intensions. AXL also put symbolic objects around them to show their occupations or interests. There are some additional symbols on the ten cards too which can help with additional identification of the characters.

This deck designed by Chris Cavill to bring something different to the table. It can be the first deck in Typographic category which will be printed by USPCC in case of its successful funding on Kickstarter. Typographic decks in many cases are playing cards with pictures on them composed of letters and numbers of a specific font. These playing cards slightly differentiate this approach as they have letters combined in names of cards as artworks. Different fonts are used. Chris invented a nice idea for his court cards to keep them fitting the theme. I think it is still can be classified as a typographic deck.
