A legacy of “just because we wanted to” creativity
For 25 years, Whitenoise has marked our major milestones with unique, self-funded creative projects that push boundaries and showcase our team’s talent. From self-published design books to experimental exhibitions, we use these moments as an opportunity to explore new ideas and celebrate our place in the creative industry.
To mark our quarter-century anniversary, we created a custom deck of playing cards, with each card featuring an original illustration depicting a pivotal moment in global pop culture between 2000 and 2025. Yes, it’s a deck of cards, but this project also symbolises our passion for storytelling, design, and play: it reflects the creative freedom that has defined Whitenoise for 25 years.
Own your piece of history
While the deck functions as a standard set of playing cards, it offers two additional ways to play. Each card features a unique illustration depicting an iconic pop-culture event and players can guess the event or, alternatively, challenge themselves with a “higher or lower” game, predicting if the next card’s year is before or after the one in play. Whether used for classic games or a trivia challenge, these cards are a fun addition to any player’s collection.
50 packs are available for purchase now. Packs include a standard 52-card deck plus two jokers, packaged in a stylish portable box, making for an ideal gift.
