The "E" is going to be overlooked a lot. I can tell you that now.

Looks like dp with a circle. I figured it out after a second or two, but in the real world I'm afraid that won't happen.

/Only assuming you were going for "edp".


I think a simple "ed" would be much more marketable. Just my take.

Thanks for your feedback. You are correct in the EDP aspect. My only issue with ed, is that people see it as Ed (the name, as opposed to the initials) that doesn't work for me.

I hear ya Eric, my initials used to be ED... I remember commenting on a forum that I think automatically assigned initials to everyone and some folks thought I was a guy!

Toying with a new design. Trying something clean and fresh....CC please.

Printing would be on glossy white with rounded corners.

Might help to put where you are located, city and state.

With all of the feedback, I came up with this. What do you guys think?
I got a real email. Evened out both sides. Added Carbon Fiber Print Background.
The Photos are the not the final photos. Those are there just as a template. Also, this is wide due to the bleed line.

At first I thought your name and 'PHOTOGRAPHY' wasn't centered....until I noticed your blade graphic. I would lighten your graphic just a tad.

That's a loaded question! I generally don't like pictures on a business card, so for me, everything isn't good. That said, are you using those pictures?

Aside from Hikin Mike's comments I'd also give the text at the bottom a little more black space above it, it needs more room to breathe, and when you do that, raise your logo higher as well.

I wasn't too sure what to put for that...
I am going to make the fonts bigger too!
