Retro Pixelated Playing Cards

These Pixel Playing Cards are Cute Reinventions of the Classic Deck

— January 11, 2014 — Life-Stages
These Pixel playing cards are a fun reinvention of the classic deck. The Pixel Poker Card deck is designed so that all of the shapes and even the characters look like colorful eight-bit retro gamer icons. Even the backing of each card has been redesigned to look like pixelated artwork.

The Kings, Queens and Jacks all look like cute little drawings, rather than the imperious looking sketches they usually are. Even the suit symbols are adorable appealing. The hearts' symbol, for example, is particularly reminiscent of the life icons often seen in older video games.

Each deck of pixel playing cards comes in its own clear plastic case and is a fun nostalgic tribute for any gamer or computer nerd.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Gaming Aesthetic - Cards and games featuring cute, pixelated designs aim to tap into millennials' nostalgia for the video games of their youth.
2. Nostalgia Marketing - Companies can create new products with a vintage look and feel to appeal to older consumers' desire to relive moments of their past.
3. Customized Playing Cards - Personalized decks of cards offer a unique, low-cost way for consumers to express their individuality and interests while playing games with friends and family.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - Game companies can create video games that mimic the pixelated look and feel of vintage console games to tap into gamers' sense of nostalgia.
2. Retail - Retailers can develop product lines that evoke a sense of nostalgia to connect with older consumers and create emotional connections with their brand.
3. Hospitality - Hotels and restaurants can create customized playing cards to offer as souvenirs or unique marketing tools that showcase their brand culture and image.
