Playing Cards and Cinema: Beast in a Neon Cage Playing Cards by Jon Wong

This deck of playing cards was designed by Jon Wong in 2010 as a part of the Beast in a Neon Cage film festival visitor’s complete set of presents.

Beast in a Neon Cage is the name of a film festival project for legendary cult director Seijun Suzuki. The name for the festival is a metaphor for the characters that appear in Suzuki’s films: gangsters and crooks who on the surface appear civilized, but underneath are wild beasts that are stuck in the “neon cage” of the Tokyo nightlife. Building on that idea and the psychedelic imagery of his films, the festival’s visuals burst with color. The sharp angles reflect the on-screen chaos and the cartoon imagery hints at the dark humor that frequents Suzuki’s work. Finally, the packaging of the products uses raw wood on the outside to mimic the sophisticated veneers of these characters, but inside they explode with color, achieved through the use of various sheets of colored plastic.” ~ Jon Wong

Kickstarter: Density Playing Cards by Roni Lagin

Roni Lagin is an artist and graphic designer living and working in Philadelphia (US). The artist played with thin lines and different shapes but didn’t get enmeshed in them. He designed custom playing cards where suit symbols are manipulated into intersecting shapes and patterns, involving elements of spirography. Roni tried to make the deck as custom as possible and renounced the use of classic court cards. He substituted them for unique ones.

The deck planned to be printed by USPCC.
