Modern Idols: Hope Playing Cards by Giovanni Meroni/Thirdway Industries

Description

“Everything is going to be okay.”

Modern Idols is a series by Thirdway Industries, based on the beliefs of the modern age. It includes all the most popular deities we’ll worship nowadays: Money, Love, Friendship, Work … but also video games, internet and fitness.

It’s crazy and colorful, but with a very deep story to tell: the Idols are under the aegis of two last Gods: Hope and Fear.

Believing in Hope means looking at the future with optimism.

In terms of colors, Modern Idols is spectacular: there are a lot of different neon inks combined with pure silver metallic ink. The cards will be reflective under direct light and fluorescent under black light.

Idol of Silence

There are times when you’ve just had enough–you want to be alone, hearing only your own thoughts. You long for a moment without complications, problems, and the constant static of everyday noise. Worship Silence.

Idol of Wellness

Your body is the only thing you really own. Respect it. Train it. Be determined, and someday you’ll achieve perfection. Worship Wellness.

Idol of Curiosity

You’re not meant to be still. Discover new things. Travel the world. Meet new friends. Never stop learning. Something huge is waiting for you. Worship Curiosity.

Hearts – Individualism

The World revolves around you and the things you love. Nothing else is important.

Idol of Legacy

They seem to be the only path to immortality. And loving them is easy: they’re part of you. Worship Legacy.

Idol of Romance

You do not choose me, I choose you. Once I pierce your heart with an arrow, you won’t be able to think about anything else. Worship Romance.

Idol of Dreams

Before you can believe in me, you must believe in yourself. Dreams can be magnificent, but they’re also insidious. You must feed them with sacrifices to make them real. Worship Dreams.

Clubs – World

We’re crazy enough to try to change everything around us. Are you in?

Idol of Art

Beauty comes in many forms, and spreading beauty that all over the World is a great way to become immortal. Worship Art.

Idol of Science

I am continuously calculating the best way to fix problems that have no solutions. Yet. Worship Science.

Idol of Connection

The most important moments of your life are those spent with others. Nowadays, it’s even easier to be always together, isn’t it? Worship Connection.

Diamonds – Materialism

You are what you have. Being awesome has never been so easy.

Idol of Money

Worshipping me is easy, since I can grant almost any wish you may have. I know, I know: I can’t grant happiness. But I am sure that I can help a lot. Worship Money.

Idol of Media

You really like to watch me, right? But remember: it’s not only what I say, but how I say it. Worship Media.

Idol of Show

Actors, rockstars, champions. Heroes inspire people to be the best versions of themselves. Or, at the very least, they help people to forget their problems. Worship Show.

Goddess of Hope

The Goddess of Hope is balanced and serene, but she has a terrible dark side: when promises are broken, your World might shatter along with them.
