I just got a new design made on 99designs.com I still need to get a card together, but with the new branding it should be easy. =)

SJP i really like that. I think it would look even cleaner if there was no dark gradient on the background. I would stick with a solid background and since the colors in the logo feel "light" I would choose a little lighter brown. If you need color ideas search google for Color Lovers

I'm digging the background, esp for what your advertizing but I would use a splash of color. Keeping it B&W is a bit plain for clubs IMHO. I would also keep looking through fonts. I like the eroded style and I think your on to something but I don't think its quite there. I also think the font on the back has got to go. But thats just my opnion! ;) I dig the background!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep working at it.

I think I posted here before about 4over.com

I placed an order with them last week. I ordered 500 16pt rounded cover biz cards. It cost me $22 shipped. I got them today. They're super! Very thick, colors are spot on, printing is nice and crisp. UV coat is nice and uniform. I compared them with my rounded corner cards from overnight prints. The rounding is very slight on these...basically just taking the point off. The overnight prints ones have more of a credit card type rounding.

All in all, I'm quite pleased.
