What do your business cards look like?

I'm torn with the Moo offering the various images on the backs of the cards. That's a HUGE deal for photographers, but their prices are steep for a business card.

I order cards from Vistaprint by the 1000's and hand them out on a non-stop basis. I think it's the cheapest form of advertising to get your name out there

200 cards for 69.99 is extremely steep. For the same price I can get basically 1000 cards, with 4 different images on them (order 4 separate sets, each with a different photo).

Hmm .. yes ok, but be gentle

Thanks for the info. I am going to order a set of these tonight and see how they compare to my Moo cards. The nice thing about Moo is that you can put multiple different images on the back. From the looks of it, Vistaprint you can only do one photo. Which isnt a big deal, I will just order two or three sets of 200 for extremely cheap, and still some out way ahead of Moo (If I am happy with the quality).

Give these guys a call:-

They are the most helpful business card company I have ever dealt with in 30 years. Fantastic service, great price, quick turnaround.

The only thing bad I can think about them is that they don't pay commission!

It seems there are lot of picky people with Moo cards, coming from a print background, I love the product and I feel the premium quality represents me and my brand very well. To each his own.

Lol Ok.

My major concern is the wild margins in the card. Nothing lines up. There is no clear path throughout the card. I would put your name at the top, and put your web address by your contact info. My eye just jumps around the card without really realizing what it says.

And thanks for the info. I am going to look at their website tonight when I get home and see what they offer.

I dont have a problem with the Moo cards. I just was expecting different. Problem is that I dont have a lot of experience with business cards, and everyone built them up to be greater than I was expecting. After I get some other cards, I might fully notice the difference then. At that point it might be clear that the Moo cards are worth the cost.

That was my first reaction too. Looks like you just through something to see what would stick.

Here's what I've been working on for a bit, what do you guys think?

I would definitely get rid of the camera. I'm not a fan of photos on a business card either. Not sure about the fonts on the first two. I do like the font on the last one though.

You misspelled 'Weddings'.

The picture would be on the flip-side of the info like George's (Tony_Stark's) Moo cards on the previous page, and the watermark wouldn't be there. I took a lot of inspiration from his cards actually, they look exactly like what I was envisioning.

The font on the bike picture was the old font I used and I was looking at making a change to the font in the two drafts I posted. The more I look at it, the more I agree with you about the camera though.

and I didn't catch the spelling at all!

I didn't catch the typo at first either.

Just a thought....I make sure I can write "stuff" if need be on the back of my card. Having a photo or a dark background on the back makes it impossible.

That's why I left enough space on the front. If I need to write anything more than what will fit on my card, then it is time to get out a piece of paper.

That's one of the reasons why I'm leaning towards the more negative space option without the camera.
