Back in January, Brazilian graphic designer Warleson Oliveira shared his conceptual UNO design on Behance. Naturally, the creative world went wild for it and Mattel (the largest toy company on earth and creator of the popular card game) caught wind of it. Subsequently, UNO Minimalista went into production. This means that design geeks will get the chance to gush over the streamlined numerals while matching them.
The Mattel UNO card game is a classic pastime for friends and family alike, and has been given a designer overhaul in the form of UNO Minimalista to help make it applicable for modern consumers. The card game is the design work of Warleson Oliveira and puts a focus on minimalist aesthetics by highlighting primary colors with simple symbols. If, like us, you were desperate to see it become a reality, you're in luck. Mattel has snapped up Brazil-based Warleson Oliveira's UNO Minimalista after the concept (quite rightly) went viral and spawned an impassioned change.org petition – and the classy cards are coming this summer.
Mattel has been experimenting with various UNO versions of late, including a Braile version and the highly popular Basquiat set, which was part of the limited UNO® artiste series. There’s even a Rick and Morty version doing the rounds at the moment. However, none have quite garnered as much fan demand as the Minimalista deck.
The set is currently only in the production stage but it’s already getting a substantial amount of attention on social platforms. Perhaps it’s the departure from the usual garish colors, opting for elegant symbols on a premium black backdrop instead. Or the fact that audiences want to feel more involved with the products they buy in today’s world. Either way, Mattel listened and answered.
