Two editions were created for the Carbon Deck project- Diamond Edition and Graphite Edition, both allotropes of carbon.

The Diamond Edition

The two-way back design features a familiar central circle design element originally made popular by the Tally-Ho Circle Backs. The design here is meant to represent a round-cut diamond using a mosaic of various shapes and shades of black and white. The darker background coupled with this mosaic give off an optical illusion of a diamond shimmering in the light. The four circles placed around the perimeter of the round-cut diamond represent the 4 valence electrons carbon contains, as well as familiar place-setting prongs often found in jewelry to hold gems in place. Around the perimeter of the diamond you will also see the words “Diamond Edition.”

The Diamond Edition actually has a very deceiving marking system.

The Graphite Edition

Luke Wadey designed the Graphite Edition with cardists in mind, using premium crushed Bee stock – and various design elements. It showcases a one way back design with a large hexagon embedded in the center. The hexagon is representative of the way carbon atoms bond to create graphite. It is also meant to be a focal point when performing various card flourishes. The deck also has four different fanning patterns when fanned from different sides.

Features include:

  • One time print run (2500), printed by USPCC
  • Premium crushed Bee stock with air cushion finish
  • 56 fully custom cards including 3 Jokers and 1 gaff card
  • Fully custom tuck with custom numbered seal
  • Traditional cut
