Playing cards usually feature generic illustrations of kings, queens, jacks, spades, clubs, diamonds, and hearts.

And while there different decks made by companies out there, all of them generally look like these.

But, it looks like some folks in Singapore are not satisfied with how the generic playing card deck looks like, and have decided to design a Singapore-centric deck to mark our country's 52nd birthday.

And they look like this.

Aptly named fifty-two, and created by some artists at a social media agency, the deck features uniquely Singaporean icons on every card (52 in total).

The icons range from people to places, and food, including:

Lee Kuan Yew on the ace of spades. 

Phua Chu Kang

Even the Singapore passport is featured on one of the cards

Nice.
