Playing Cards
Turning Warrington’s legacy into something you can shuffle, deal, and keep.To celebrate the Warrington College of Business, I designed a custom deck honoring four figures whose names are woven into the college’s history. Familiar card conventions are paired with a refined visual system, creating a functional keepsake that feels distinctly Warrington.

WARRINGTON, DOWN TO THE DETAILS
Playing cards function as a visual lingua franca: their suits and symbols are understood across cultures. That made the phrase a natural fit for a business school. The box also uses magna cum laude—“with great praise”—and eximius, meaning exceptional, to reinforce achievement and academic excellence.
Corner monograms represent Warrington College and it’s three schools, while the aces honor its four namesakes. The bell silhouette nods to Century Tower, and a subtle alligator-skin pattern with custom Albert and Alberta face cards brings in Gator identity without relying on standard university graphics.
Beyond the game itself, the deck brings Warrington’s history into a physical object that connects past and present, turning the finished set into a keepsake rooted in the college’s identity.
