New business card... - 05-27-2009, 01:41 PM

Following my recent logo design, I'm going to incorporate it into new business cards and wanted some input on the design... so for those who are bored and browsing, let me know what you think... constructive criticism is always welcome

Front:

















Back:

Well for the front I like the one with the dots on the phone # instead of the area code parenthesis. It looks cleaner to me. The back I think could be used more to your advantage. I know my cards have a brief listing of services or things you might specialize in. For example mine says customized services on the back and then lists things such as headlight reconditioning. I feel it gives the potential client the idea that you are above the others. I always get compliments on my card. Sorry I don't have a pic of it.

I'm going to have a 'plain' card that will be black and white and have some service info on the back... this is just more of an 'artistic' bus card if you wanna call it that haha

The photo is of my old car's (98 328i) hood after a rain. I have a few photos I just took of my M3 with beads on the hood if you want me to email them to you. I took like 20-30 and finally chose one for my current card.

Oh btw, this is the card I ordered and have now:
F:


B:


And this is the one that's being shipped soon:
F: 100 each of Front, same back
