Interesting. I wish it wasn't the same card. Reminds me of the first time I saw the arrow in the FedEd logo.

Looks like the same team (Landor) that did the 1989 Northwest Airlines logo.

Re: The 8 of Diamonds "Secret"
Trace/fill in the 8 pattern with a sharpie and it could be a nice little shtick and giveaway to a spectator. Usually throw away my older/used decks (except for the red queens and jokers for 3 card monte usage), but I may just start saving those crazy eights...
Re: The 8 of Diamonds "Secret"
Falling on their sides all eights in a deck of cards secretly display the lemniscate curve which only goes to prove what the public finds fascinating is infinite.
