My New Business Cards

Just printed small runs of each. I’m planning on carrying 3-4 colours at all time to add to the uniqueness.

At the end of the day I settled for the Blue, Yellow and Red ones. Eliminated were Purple and Green. Would love your feedback!

The Ones I chose:


  • Danielle

    I love love LOVEEE them :)

    Excellent business cards Alex.
    Really like the concept and the execution.

    @tourabout @Danielle Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback!

    I hope the yellow text is easier on the eyes “on paper” than off. Other than that, I like the concept, but I do not approve of the Arial font face used for your phone number, etc. Just my two cents.

      Thanks. I gave the yellow some local practice runs and it turns out well so I’ve only ordered 100 to make sure the final copy is just as good. Not a fan of Arial, Jon? I appreciate the feedback :)

    They look great! Where did you get them printed?

      I’ve used a local Print Shop for now on a small run. If the colours and job is good I will stick with them. I can’t recall the name but feel free to Tweet / E-mail me and I will send their details.

    Alex, What’s on the back of the card? It seems like a lot of people are printing on both sides to utilize the extra space.

      Hi.
      Right now I have kept the card blank. One day I may place a QR code there but I still annotate the back of every business card I collect. I try to keep the back of my cards white as a courtesy for others who do this too.
