Pick a card, any card.....

So i decided to get myself a business card designed, a friend has come up with a couple of different designs and i know which i'm favouring so far, but i just thought i'd see what the masses here thought.....

i like the green one on the top right,
but i dont like that text thing on the top left of it
make your name a little bit bigger and in a serif font and i think it'd be really cool

None of the designs really say "photography" to me. I agree the second is best, but it doesn't grab my attention.

it's mainly equestrian photography i do, and thats the sort of circle i'm aiming my business at with these cards. I probably should of said that in the original post..... I have also asked him to design a card to give out as a regular card that is a more 'general photography' card and doesn't specifcally that i do equestrian photography that i can hand out for other stuff, he hasn't given me anything back for that yet though.

personally i'm favouring the 1st blue card, just because it is simple, clean and clear. I do really like the green one but find it's not as clear to read and the colour maybe a little dull......

First blue one is best, but I'm not too keen on the font. Like the stamp

i really favor card two.

i'd go mono/duo tone photo rather than a silhouette of a horse jumping..

on 2 of the designs your text is too near the edge, u need at least 5mm gap for any creap when the printed sheets are cut..

u need clean uncluttered branding to help capture someones attention when u hand them ur card, make sure you get it printed on a decent weight as well.. if you hand someone a card that has a good feel to it, they know you've taken time over your stationary and you mean business

oh and if your affraid to post your phone number online, what makes it safer handing out a card to someone, or putting it on your website?

I definitely favour card two over the other two. Maybe make the JC a little less stylised, though - it's hard to just skim it and see the letters as is, imho. I reckon it'd be an awesome card with that change.
