Got the idea to make my own playing cards. I was thinking about probably keeping the traditional face card look and fonts/colors but change the 4 suits to other themed symbols.
Like for example a cross, pentagram, yinyang, and a star of david. OR a nuclear symbol, biohazard, radiation symbol, and electric shock/fire.
Or even just simply: square, circle, triangle, and X.
There are a whole shit load of cool symbols from new and old that are easily recognized:

etc etc obviously there are 1000s of symbols and some of them are really cool. And some of them would fit in a theme together. What do you think would be some other cool symbols/themes?

They each represent one of the members of the band Led Zeppelin.
From left to right: Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and Robert Plant.
Edit:
Wiki:After the lukewarm, if not confused and sometimes dismissive, critical reaction Led Zeppelin III had received in the autumn of 1970, Page decided that the next Led Zeppelin album would not have a title, but would instead feature four hand-drawn symbols on the inner sleeve and record label, each one chosen by the band member it represents.[8] "We decided that on the fourth album, we would deliberately play down the group name, and there wouldn't be any information whatsoever on the outer jacket", Page explained. "Names, titles and things like that do not mean a thing."[9]
