What do your business cards look like?

The making a logo and QR-code (although this has been in Japan for ages, never really thought about putting it in my card) idea is also from D-Jam’s article…
To explain about the logo, “D” obviously is for Distraction (but it can be the initial of my last name too), the Sun is the symbol of the Philippines (being a Filipino), the Leaves, is the symbol of the Shogun, Tokugawa of Japan (live almost half of my life in Japan), and the Crown is the symbol from Belgium (that’s a tribute to my wife).

Sorry, it’s a bit out of topic from double.deez question…

Thanks!
Yeah, the back maybe a better idea, and you can print it bigger.
I printed it in front mainly for the reason of saving printing fee! (^_^)

None of my Business of course :);
But I may as well ask (Disregarding Skype); why people’s Telephone Numbers are ‘Covered Up’; when this Forum could be an Excellent Opportunity for ‘Further Network Promotion’ (at No Cost) :);

I covered up my number because that is my personal number and I didn’t want the entire world to have my personal cell phone number. All of my other contact info is on there and anybody online that wanted to get a hold of me can. I don’t mind it being on the card itself because when I give someone a card, I have some inkling of who they are and make a choice to give them my number.

Vistaprint are great – really cheap worldwide by the look of it!

I’d change the font you used on the type.

Courrier doesn’t work with the rest. Try Arial, Helvetica, or Tahoma.

Here’s a better idea. I took yours and toyed with it a tiny bit in Photoshop. Hope you don’t mind.

Like I talked about in that recent posting where I mentioned a hierarchy of information on your flyer, the same comes into play with your business card.

#1 piece of info – Nitronic

#2 – What you are and your name (I made them a little bigger)

#3 – Your contact info

I changed it all to white because borrowing the colors from the EQ only makes the information blend in and get lost. You want the EQ to be visual appeal, but the information to stick out and be legible. I also grouped the info together in the two groups so there is that hierarchy.

You get what I mean? 😉
