Which business card-please help me choose

[tony fanning]

I am in the process of rebranding and have designed two business cards and cannot choose the one to have printed.
I like the one with four images on and my wife likes the one one with two images on.
I would like your input as well please.

Cheers
Tony

The second one seems less busy, I'd vote for that!

Sorry Tony but it might be a man thing but i really like the first one

I prefer the first design, but I think 4 images jostle for attention, so personally I would cut it down to 3 images and miss out the second from left.

I also find the font very difficult to read - partly because it's all upper-case, and partly because the font itself is not easy on the eye. People generally find lower-case much easier to understand. If the font is important for your business identity, then I'd leave that for the business name, but put all the contact info in something simple like Arial, Sans-serif, or Verdana.

One last thing, as you obviously have the domain name www.tonyfanning-photography.co.uk can you not arrange email forwarding from that domain? It would look more professional to have an email address of "info@tonyfanning-photography.co.uk".

Hope that was more constructive than destructive!

Am I the only one who thinks it looks odd to have the photos in landscape orientation and the text in portrait? Because of that, I'd chose the second one, even though I'm not too crazy about it either.

I'd second Rob and drop the # of photos down to 3. Then maybe since you have more room the text could be put into landscape orientation to match the pictures? That's just my personal opinion.
And yeah, definitely set up an email inbox or email forwarding using your business domain. If you don't know how, then ask tech support at your hosting company and they'll tell you.

My thoughts exactly. It needs to flow nicely, not make them get a kink in their neck. :D
Pick one strong image to make a statement. More than that looks like you're trying too hard. They'll see more pics when they go to your website because they're so intrigued by that one cool shot! ;)

exactly keep it simple

[tony fanning]

Thanks for your views guys! I was in two minds about the font, I think I`ll change it now.

Keep it simple and keep text/pics oriented the same ways. I'd not go with either as-is, but I like the concept of the first one.

The font color of "Tony Fanning" was a little 'hidden', as well. Your name should 'pop'...
Out of the 2, I like #2.. But I like the 2 person photo in the first one. The bride in the window of the limo in #2, kind of monopolizes that card..
Nice pictures, tho, BTW!!
