Default Moo Cards vs Mini Moo's

Which would seem more professional, regular business cards or Moo.com's Mini Moos? Which have you used? Good/Bad feedback from potential/actual clients?

The way I look at it, is when I get a business card from somebody I immediately stick it in my wallet. Now if they had given me a mini-moo card, when I looked through my wallet later I can see me not seeing them as I flip through what I had. They would be down at the bottom of my wallet not visible.

Definately the full-sized cards.

My wife is in HR and she tells me that nothing goes in the round file faster than:
A) A poorly crafted resume
B) An odd-sized business card

I have ordered both and like the full size cards better. Little moos are fun though.

I have had great response with the mini Moo business cards. People love how different they are!

The last time I ordered the mini's, I just wanted to see what people thought as far as being "professional" goes with them, judging by the poll... it seems almost even

As a graphic designer I love oddly shaped business cards, but there is a place for everything. I think the Mini Moo cards are great if you are doing portraits, weddings... I think people like them as well they are neat and not traditional. If you will be dealing with businesses the full size cards would be best for rolodexes and such (while at design school we had to put together a creative resume and a standard Word resume and which one you send depended on the type of company you were applying to). IMO

Also...
Great use for the Mini Moo's. I was at a friends wedding last year and the wedding photographer did their engagement photo's as well. So at the reception there was a small table by the door that had all of my friends engagement photo's on it. when you picked the card up it had the photographers info as well as the login info to view the wedding photo's. I thought this was a great way to let people know how to view and purchase photo's from the wedding.

I use both, and for different purposes.

If I'm handing the card to a person / potential client, I give them the full size card - it's more professional, has a bigger picture on the front.

If I'm leaving my cards on a table or putting them in a packet / flier - I go with the mini-moo's - more eye catching, cause more of a stir initially ("oh, cute, look at the little cards!")

I just got my mini's today. They are just way too cute. But I can also see having regular sized cards on hand. But I love the idea of these....to hand out when in informal settings, just doesn't seem as pushy as a regular business card.
