Mattel Hot Wheels


Project Type: Sports Trading Cards

Mattel looked to Creative Instinct with its vast experience within NASCAR to design their in-pack trading cards. The cards were designed to best display the NASCAR drivers due to the fact that a portion of the card would always be covered by the die cast vehicle.

Coca-Cola


Project Type: Corporate Promotional Event Trading Cards

The challenge for Creative Instinct was to design promotional trading cards for the Coca-Cola NASCAR racing family. Customers were able to select free Coca-Cola NASCAR racing family trading cards with the purchase of two Coca-Cola products. Creative Instinct designed the trading cards to fit within the branding of the Coca-Cola look and feel.

NASCAR Legends


Project Type: Sports Event Trading Cards

Press Pass looked to CI for the design and production of their inaugural product that focused on the history of NASCAR. The product needed to convey the rich history of racing but have a modern feel. The nostalgic look of the product was enhanced through the usage of intricate production techniques. The photography on the trading cards were framed by interlocking foil stamps in two different colors. A spot gloss varnish was used on the photo and a dull varnish was used for the black borders. The combination of these elements created the nostalgic feel in a modern way. The packaging featured a gloss varnish for the driver photos, a dull varnish for the black areas and silver metallic ink for the frames and text. The product became an instant favorite with trading card collectors.

Elvis Presley


Project Type: Entertainment Trading Cards

Creative Instinct designed trading cards and packaging for "The King". The officially licensed trading card set is a chronicle of Elvis Presley's life and also features memorabilia embedded in the cards including an autograph from an authentic check that was signed by Elvis called "Historic Cuts".

Orange County Choppers


Project Type: Entertainment Trading Cards

Creative Instinct was tapped to develop a trading card product for the Discovery Channels' hit television show "American Chopper". Trading cards were designed that featured Orange County Choppers custom built choppers from the show including the Fire Bike, Jet Bike, Black Widow Bike, Mikey's Bike, Dixie Chopper and the Old School Copper. Creative Instinct also worked closely with Joyride Studios and Discovery on establishing a look and feel for the packaging.
