A Warm, Vintage-Inspired Edition of Bicycle Aviary
Bicycle Aviary Orange Playing Cards combine classic Bicycle performance with intricately illustrated birds, botanical ornament, and a rich orange-and-copper color palette. Designed by illustrator Nicholas Matej for the United States Playing Card Company, Aviary is a completely custom deck that reimagines nearly every familiar element of a traditional pack while remaining practical for everyday play.
The ornate one-way card back features birds surrounded by dense floral scrollwork, stars, blossoms, and geometric details. The same visual language continues across the custom suits, Aces, court cards, Jokers, and premium illustrated tuck box, giving the entire deck a unified vintage character.
The Orange edition brings an especially warm look to the Aviary design, using rust, copper, cream, dark green, and muted gold tones. Metallic detailing on the tuck enhances the antique-inspired presentation without changing the familiar handling that Bicycle players expect.
Printed in the USA by the United States Playing Card Company, the deck uses Bicycle playing-card stock, non-toxic plant-based inks, and Classic Air-Cushion Finish for easy shuffling, spreading, and smooth play.
