    Concept 2 is by far my favorite. Though the others are interesting too, concept 2 seems to be the most professional looking while still standing out from the crowd of business cards people will be handed.

    of all the business cards I get on a weekly basis, I hardly notice the concept or logo design unless its radically different….#6 really got my attention since it was just that….the fact that it looked liked a credit card made me want to look at the card in more detail and retain it rather than just add it to my pile of other cards that I get…

    Concept #1…. It is professional on one side so people know you are serious, the other side leaves it fun so you don’t look like a stiff.

    • Good Comment?
      ZK @ Web Marketing Blog

      Very much true … but instead of fun … this one is conveying your message about your thoughts and I must say that image of Jeremy always bold so no 1 is really representing him at best.

    Concept #2 appears to be more professional. It is clean, simple and yet very powerful. That concept would be my choice. #4 can be an alternative

    6 is my favourite, the same message as 1, but more sophisticated. 1 is a bit too much, too obvious.

    2, 3 and 4 are boring in my opinion, 7 plain silly.

    # 1 or # 7 Are the best! They grab attention in a classy way.

    # 6 has more to due with the absence of money, thus use credit. Sends the wrong message. Lot’s a people have mucho credit but zero money.

  40. Good Comment?
    Jason

    I definitely think for what you guys do that #2 or #5 is by far the best. The designs from everyone else look very amateurish without a whole lot of actual design elements involved or creativity. Although design #6 is neat, I don’t think a credit card presents your business of revenue so #1 was closer to hitting the mark, but the colors of #1 is not eye candy. It’s hard to believe that these are it for your biz! Having said that, #5 at this time is the best posted.

    • Good Comment?
      ZK @ Web Marketing Blog

      I think for internet marketer #1 is the best. Plus if you are showing how to make money than this kind of card tells all the story.

      #1 is really No 1.

      So go for it.

    With such an easy to remember telephone number, who needs a business card anyway! ;D i’d go for concept #7. #1’s front doesn’t suit the back design. The other one’s are so normal, a bit boring, and business isn’t. #7 Sticks out, people remember that one, it can start a conversation. It even sounds cool: concept seven. If you can’t choose, just order all seven, and you can choose while using them in real life. It’s always different than in theory.

    Hands down #6 is a WINNER – it is the most memorable (remarkable) and least likely to be tossed in the trash when cleaning out a biz card roledex…I’ve never seen anyone use that before, it’s an extremely solid concept.

    If you don’t use it, I’m stealing that idea :-)

  85. Good Comment?
    Doroteja

    Number SEVEN (7) for sure because it’s much more solid than all the rest put together. It will hold a viewer’s attention longer than any of the others. They’ll wonder what it’s about and actually read it. I’d definitely go for 7.

  86. Good Comment?
    David Couillard

    I think number 2 is on the right path…

    It’s more professional. Traditionnal maybe but in the end, the single negative comment I’ve ALWAYS had with most clients I was making cards for or giving card too was always: “Why are fonts so small? It’s hard to read.” So I think keeping a business card clean and easy to read is always the smartest thing to do.

    Number 2 also keeps your branding style. It fits with your website design. Keeping the same style and branding around all your promo material is a good idea.

    If you want it to stand out a bit more when you hand it to client, simply make sure your using thicker card paper, and maybe have a nice lamination or Spot UV over the logo and fonts. Those are little details that make it stand out. It’s not just about the colors and look It’s also about the texture and feel.

    What I would change on number 2 tho:

    - Put address on the right side to keep logo clean. (right now address is too small and looks like a slogan)
    - Keep only the “S” on the white side and leave more space for info. (the full name is already on the blue site with slogan)
    - Put your name and web address in bold.
    - Remove the blue bar at the bottom (or make it thinner) to let the text breath.
    - Make sure everything is all perfectly aligned. (same line height, same font size for text, same padding top bottom and sides, etc).
    - And remove the thick drop shadows!

    Great work guys!

    Shoe as far as these designs are concerned all of them have their unique features so it is very much difficult to pick any one specially.

    Greetings from Phuket. Concept 2+5. But there is one thing, that concernes me more, that is this “my thing is bigger than your thing”-thing on your business-card. Means your title.

    To be honest … the other side will surely know, that you are the CEO – Super-Hero – Senior-System-Architect or whatever fancy title you decide for yourself.

    One well meant advice – delete this (my thing is bigger than yours) from your business-card.

    Real important people just need a white sheet of paper with your small company-logo, your name and your phone- and email-address. Think about it.

    #4 front and use #5 back would be my choice,

    that looks sweet.

    Good luck.

    #2, #5 and #6. The idea on the #6 (the credit card design) is brilliant, but to pick one, I’d go with #2 – I like the simplicity and “professionalism” of it.

    2nd – It looks the most professional

    Otherwise go with 5th

    The other ones all have negative connotations associated with it…

    #2 if you want professional, #5 as a runner up in that category. #7 if you wanna bare all :)

    I wouldn’t say #6 at all since it’d be an interesting first impression if you hand a business card that looks like a credit card. Your fans may appreciate it; the next person you meet for the first time probably won’t (or they’ll be interested in milking you of all the money you have when they see you have it).

    #6 is bad as shit! Reminds me of Amex Blue or skymiles, with a twist.

    # 6 , but with a little revision [ imho ] :
    - the logo should be a lil bit bigger and with color as in # 5
    - the font size of the phone number should be smaller
    otherwise, when u give ur card, people will first lookin to your phone number and not your company’s name.

    #2 is the best “corporate”
    Very clean, easy to read, “smooth” on the eyes but not boring.

    or

    #6 if your persona is more playful than corporate.
    It’s the most readable and provides the best tie-in with your theme of all the “fun” ones.

    I would have to go with number 2 or number 6. Number 2 is very professional, and clean. Number 6, is more of a funny kind of card, it would sure give people a smile when they see it. But yeah, number 2 and 6 are the best IMO.

    #2 is the best imho, #5 is the followup. #1 is one of the ugliest cards I ever seen. :) #6 is interesting, but confusing.
    I think all of them are so-so, none are really outstanding that could give a “wow”.

    #6 is a nice concept. I hand out biz cards all day every day and the #1 rule of biz cards is to have one that makes people want to look at it and not just toss it the second they get it. This one would even make me look at it and I am numb to cards.

    I like 7, 6 with 2 coming in third. To me, 7 is the boldest and most original. I don’t think that ShoeMoney should only stand for and be repped by the USDollar, especially since you’re worldwide!

    1.) you should ad a poll to your sidebar, would be easier
    2.) credit card one is most original
    3.) your facebook connect doesn’t work (I connected left comment, but got “leave name and email” error)
    4.) I can help you implement facebook login correctly. did it with my own site, check moillusions.com and see how easy it is. also, you should add a wrapper arround fbconnect to disappear when user logs in via it, also you should add div classes for it (I have all of this), so drop me a mail if you need help.

    I’m gonna be different to everyone else and say Concept #1 and Concept #7 appeal to me the most. They’re to the point, but still interesting.

    #7 has a bit of a Lost feel to it, but I’m not sure how well it would print and look under different lighting conditions. Could be hard to read.

    7 or 1. They fit you best. 7 with your pic would be really good. The others aren’t over-the-top enough — your symbol is parody of Superman after all.

    Number 6 FTW

    The cash is cool, but the credit card is much more “digital” and web worthy.

    Plus it is the most unique of the bunch. People will actually do a double take when they see it.

    If you could have them printed on plastic, that would be even better.

    I like concept 5.

    #1 looks like it says Hoe Money on the front. Could be very confusing

    #2 thru #4 don’t scream look at me. They seem more traditional and don’t have that in your face vibe.

    #6 & #7 are unique. Not really sure what to think about them though.

    Hmmm… the only ones that have a tag line that gives a (vague) hint about what you do (“Skills to Pay the Bills”) are #2 & #4. (People who already know what you do know your website and probably won’t need your card.) I’ll vote for #2.
