    I am going for concept #4

    I like both 5 and 6, but I think I’m leaning more to # 5 as my first choice, with 6 as my second choice and 7 as my third.

    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.

  7. lecicine
    July 3, 2009 at 7:04 pm

    I think that #2 is the best for me because it gives a professianal aspect and gives simpl and fashion image to your enterprise.

    Jeremy you could maybe have pay-per-links or a blogroll listed on the back of your paper card?
    Can mine first as a reward for suggesting it?

  10. mctatto

    The Card at #6 is the best. It is very innovative and professional in its looks as well.
    Shoemoney means innovation and Jeremy has always been innovative. So why not an innovative card for Jeremy?

  20. Joe Helewa

    Concept #5 is my favorite one, but I’m not going to lie…. The credit card one (#6) is pretty neat too.

  21. Lorenz
    June 27, 2009 at 12:47 pm

    Number 1 is the best!!! :D

    • ZK @ Web Marketing Blog
      June 28, 2009 at 12:40 am

      Yes you and me are thinking in the same fashion.

      If you are talking about money than I think $$$ is the best way to show about your business.

      Certainly #1 is the best.

      Do not think Jeremy – just ordered the No 1 as this one is really No 1

  22. rick kats

    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…

  26. Tyler Ford

  30. El Bee
    June 26, 2009 at 5:07 pm

    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.

    • ZK @ Web Marketing Blog
      June 28, 2009 at 12:45 am

      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.

  31. The Hockey Writer
    June 26, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Personally I like concept 2 – not overly gimmicky, clean and professional. Shows your colours and shows that you’re serious. Go for number 2!

  32. DiTesco @Internet Business Entrepreneur
    June 26, 2009 at 12:55 pm

    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

  33. Florian
    June 26, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    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.

  34. Mike @ MyNewAffiliateLife
    June 26, 2009 at 10:49 am

    #1 is pretty cool but using a 1 dollar bill…cmon, throw a hundred as the background on there!

    #5 is my pick unless #1 gets fixed :)

    • ZK @ Web Marketing Blog
      June 28, 2009 at 12:46 am

      Image of $$$ is good enough … and I am sure this #1 is pretty cool … go for it Jeremy.

  36. Michelle
    June 26, 2009 at 9:54 am

    Either #2 or #5. I have received business card like #1, #3 and #7 before and you can’t differentiate it with flyers from a shopping mall. #4 and #6 don’t look pro enough.

  37. Nigerian Vacancies
    June 26, 2009 at 8:24 am

    I personally like
    No 1 and
    No 7.
    I prefers No.7

  38. ChrisW
    June 26, 2009 at 8:09 am

    # 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.

    Cheers and Much Success.

  39. Ricky Petrson
    June 26, 2009 at 7:55 am

    Shoe ..I sent you few designs earlier but unfortunately it did not got approved. I have made few more and sending it your way now in some time i hope that will get selected. Keeping my fingers crossed.

  40. Jason
    June 26, 2009 at 7:09 am

    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.

    • ZK @ Web Marketing Blog
      June 28, 2009 at 2:48 am

      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.

  41. fas
    June 26, 2009 at 6:15 am

    I really love the first one, looks really cool and will suit you well.

    • ZK @ Web Marketing Blog
      July 16, 2009 at 10:57 pm

      Yeah that one is matching the personality of Shoe … so which one you have selected Jeremy.

    Concept 6 – the creditcard is awesome… how creative is that? Gives a great subliminal message..very cool

  43. Ben
    June 26, 2009 at 12:32 am

    2, 4, 5, 6 in that order.

    June 25, 2009 at 11:51 pm

    ooooo, I soo should’ve entered this! I know a company who has there cards like number 6..and it’s also as thick as a credit card..

  46. Tran Harry
    June 25, 2009 at 10:20 pm

    Concept 5 or 6.

    5 for its simplicity and cleanliness.

    But damn if you handed me card #6 I would think that I’m dealing with serious business there.

  48. Austin
    June 25, 2009 at 10:06 pm

    #6 has been done too many times by junk mailers. It is too boring and the info is too hard to read!

    #7 is too obvious and blahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

  49. Deneil Merritt
    June 25, 2009 at 9:41 pm

    I like 2, 5, 6, & 7.

    My favorite is number 7. Hands down that is the best one.

  50. Roberto
    June 25, 2009 at 7:31 pm

    Concept 7 has got to be the one i would use it just great :D

  51. DavidG
    June 25, 2009 at 6:14 pm

    My call is #7 with some color adjustment on the back. Jeremy, you quit Snods? Or just some super secret ninja shit you doing?

  52. Ian Fernando
    June 25, 2009 at 5:37 pm

    the first one would be great if it didnt say “hoemoney” at the bottom. dont think people will correspond the BIG S to S+hoemoney

    But 1 is the best by far

  53. Sil
    June 25, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    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.

  54. Chris Jacobson
    June 25, 2009 at 3:59 pm

    Those are sick designs! I like 5 and 6, but the money imagery in the first one is good too. Tough decision man.

  55. Cheaper Parcel Deliveries
    June 25, 2009 at 3:53 pm

    The Superman shirt one would be best if only the image was of your babysitter/nanny in a shoemoney shirt. That would rock and everyone would love to carry her around in their wallet.

  56. Celebrity Seats
    June 25, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    You can’t go wrong with any of ‘em, kudos to the designers!

    My picks: 1, 2, 4, or 7

    6 is awesome, but besides the added expense of printing a card with rounded edges, it’s not easy to read the important info (website address, phone number, etc)

  57. العاب شمس

    #2 for it’s simple and clean design.

  63. Keith

    #6 has been done a lot. lame.

    I’d go with #2 or #4.

  64. LuckyAce
    June 25, 2009 at 12:53 pm

    #1 is too busy the the design elements.

    #6 reminds me of the junk mails with the fake credit card, which I usually throw away.

    #7 may be a copyright infringement of Superman comics.

  71. WAMWAN

    #5, but add “Skills to pay the Bills” to the front

  78. star
    June 25, 2009 at 10:24 am

    it depends on the impression you want to make.

    #2 makes a professional statement and is well designed and clear.

    #7 is campy and fun, but i think the execution of the design could be better.

  79. Joe
    June 25, 2009 at 10:07 am

    #6 no doubt.

    Disclaimer: I’m stealing the idea.

  80. Vitor Gonçalves
    June 25, 2009 at 10:00 am

    The Concept #2 is a classic business card, but the Concept #6 is the best one, fantastic.

    Number 6 is a winner

  83. Mirco

    @TheAnand

    Yes a Linkbait for a New Paypalcard ;-)

  84. Shawn Pearson
    June 25, 2009 at 9:40 am

    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. Doroteja
    June 25, 2009 at 9:39 am

    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. David Couillard
    June 25, 2009 at 9:32 am

    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!

    #1, #6 or #7 are the best in my opinion. #1 is probably the coolest business card I’ve ever seen… So I’d go with 1. But any of the 3 look good.

  89. Max
    June 25, 2009 at 9:19 am

    #1 would look good. Being a designer, I think you should have posted them all the same size and on-screen as close as you could to business card size or a little larger, but not gigantic. But you do have some solid choices.

    • ZK @ Web Marketing Blog
      June 28, 2009 at 3:03 am

      June 28, 2009 at 3:05 am

  93. Ricky Peterson
    June 25, 2009 at 9:03 am

    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. And if you really talk about business i guess what ever you pick up will be popular over night as Shoe money brand is so damn popular on the internet these days. I liked the one in Black & white since it has HUGE unique impact for the work which you are doing now a days.

    It has got to be concept #7, I really like this design and how it catches the eye

  106. Mario Apel
    June 25, 2009 at 7:16 am

    Concept 6! The only way. Good concept.

    The others are playing cards for kids.

    #7 or #5 for sure. They both pop nicely.

    5

  109. Jono
    June 25, 2009 at 6:42 am

    concept 4 – professional , interesting, more trustworthy.
    It’s not as cheap looking however.
    But, depends the market you are aiming at…
    Audience first , choice second.

  110. YingHang
    June 25, 2009 at 6:38 am

    I would say I prefer number 7!

  111. Sudeep

  112. GoldRush

    First concept not bad, but only second side. Side with dollar look terrible :)

  113. minisite design
    June 25, 2009 at 4:25 am

    I think number 4.. because the design is simple and clear..

  114. fghfgh

    2 or 5

  115. MacNessa
    June 25, 2009 at 3:43 am

    As a graphic designer, design #5 speaks the most to me. The texture is a real attention grabber, as is the interesting angle of the details side of the card.

    Great designs, all of them, but #5 works for me!

    • assep
      July 3, 2009 at 11:45 pm

      i think Concept #4 is best suite for you. it’s classic but not out of date. it’s the best

  116. Affiliate Marketing Guides
    June 25, 2009 at 3:34 am

    I will pick Concept #4 only because it’s a classic design which I think suits you best.

    The nuances are also great, that ocean blue is nice.

    I’m really digging the second one. Professional, suits the coming summer, and still has that Shoemoney feel.

  121. Phuket Makkus

    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.

    6 as is only genuinly creative one

  126. Hannes
    June 25, 2009 at 2:03 am

    I would take the 2nd concept, but in no case the third one. 1 and 7 would be good for a limited edition ; )

  127. Smaxor
    June 25, 2009 at 1:53 am

    1 or 5, I think 6 is kind of cheesy not really sure why all the fans on that one.

  128. Ferry Prima
    June 25, 2009 at 1:50 am

    6 and 2 is pretty good.

  129. steve

  130. DannyArcher

    Preferably 7

  134. Kristi
    June 25, 2009 at 1:02 am

    #5, or #4 after that

    #6 is cool and gets a few more looks but I think later it might confuse people when looking for your info.

  135. Flat Baby
    June 25, 2009 at 1:01 am

    i have to say, number six !

  136. Umar in Dubai

  137. new.us

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

    that looks sweet.

    Good luck.

  138. Zemalf
    June 25, 2009 at 12:00 am

    #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.

  139. Luke
    June 24, 2009 at 11:36 pm

    My vote goes to #5. It’s my favorite by far :)

  140. Samer Bazzi

    number 2

  141. SocialPosts

  142. Tim

    I reckon #6 is the best of the bunch.

  143. ritz

    # 6. it’s unique

  144. Ponselhandphone

    concept #6 is better

  145. Mega Champ

    1 & 7 difficult to choose bw them :-D

  146. Greg Ellison

    5 or 2

  147. Stanley Tang
    June 24, 2009 at 10:17 pm

    2nd – It looks the most professional

    Otherwise go with 5th

    The other ones all have negative connotations associated with it…

  148. Tamar Weinberg
    June 24, 2009 at 10:14 pm

    #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).

  149. matt justice
    June 24, 2009 at 10:11 pm

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

  150. Susanti
    June 24, 2009 at 10:10 pm

    # 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.
    :-)

  151. Eric Schechter
    June 24, 2009 at 9:56 pm

    I like #6 the best :-)

  152. Beth Bridges
    June 24, 2009 at 9:30 pm

    #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.

  153. Dan
    June 24, 2009 at 9:24 pm

    Concept #2 without a doubt!

  154. Mafer

    All crappy designs. Look for a graphic designer and pay for the service.

  155. B

    #6 by far. It is something different that people will remember but also looks cool and legit.

  156. David Finch

    My trifecta pick would be: 2-6-4

    I like Concept # 2. It’s nice and clean.

  158. Dennis
    June 24, 2009 at 8:58 pm

    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.

  159. Tvents
    June 24, 2009 at 8:57 pm

    I will pick up the best three for you. I prefer the designs of #6 , #2, and #5.

  160. Dullard Mush
    June 24, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    I like the back of #1 best, while the front would be between #2 or #5. Although #6 is clever.

  161. free directory submission
    June 24, 2009 at 8:29 pm

    #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”.

  162. Brent Lamborn
    June 24, 2009 at 8:27 pm

    Dude, just get some of each!

  163. Lyndon

    They’re all really nice, but I think concept 2 is the best.

    #1

    #6 has my vote, all the way!

  166. Pa Elk
    June 24, 2009 at 8:04 pm

    #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.

  167. Remo

    Six. Hands down, no question.

  168. Jorge

    #2

    Clean and professional, that’s what a card should be.

  169. Tom
    June 24, 2009 at 7:30 pm

    Jeremy, I like #6. Especially if you can get the corners cut in the rounded form (which probably is not too difficult)

  170. Taylor
    June 24, 2009 at 7:19 pm

    #6

    Really perfect for you!

  173. Terry Krysak

    As an artist, I like #6 the best.
    Why? It is clean, modern, simple, and I think represents your branding the best.

  174. Chadimoglou
    June 24, 2009 at 7:00 pm

    #6 for sure. #1 is almost good.. the rest are to simple for you’re style.

  175. Eve
    June 24, 2009 at 6:59 pm

    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!

  176. Gilt Groupe Invites
    June 24, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    6, because its something you’d remember.

  178. Vurdlak

    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.

  181. Josh
    June 24, 2009 at 6:19 pm

    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.

  182. Rachel
    June 24, 2009 at 6:15 pm

  183. Jack Christopher

    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.

    But kudos to all designers.

  185. Travis Lusk
    June 24, 2009 at 6:06 pm

    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.

  186. Steven-Sanders
    June 24, 2009 at 5:59 pm

    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.

  187. Casual
    June 24, 2009 at 5:55 pm

    I think #1 is my favorite, but #2 & #7 are also very cool. #2 is very professional looking, #7 is very bold.

  188. blackysky
    June 24, 2009 at 5:53 pm

    1 because it pushes you to check the back and dig for more information… it’s mysterious… .. 6 looks like a gift… anyone will check the website and try to redeem lool…

    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.

    Concept 6, a visiting card which looks like a credit card, perfect for the Shoe Money blog. My vote goes for it, followed by concept 4 and 5.

  199. Merrick
    June 24, 2009 at 5:21 pm

  201. Scott

  207. OMM
    June 24, 2009 at 5:08 pm
