Yeah I know what you mean. The test is more visible in B also.

Anyways, A is more appealing, but the text is set in a busy area, making it hard to read. Try blurring the background beneath the text or something. Just my .02.

Yeah the tread marks got erased at the top to show the car more. Never noticed an ueven bottom in B. Good eye.

Thank you.

Oh nice graphic designer. Can you please explain further or show me a sample? Thank you.

ummm okay. Well the text might apear that way but a lot of editing and altering went into both the text and background.

Well me too but I didn't want to be plain for these.

I don't like the fact that "B" has a silhouette of some guy driving.

Hey thanks buddy.

Why don't you try something different.

Look into getting a die cut card (a bit more expensive but worth it).

If your specialise in wheels or tires, why don't you get it done on a piece of rubber with tread on one side and your details on the other.

Or give the card the look and feel of tire marks.

Alternatively, create a key ring that looks like a stylish alloy - with one side having your contact number etched on it.

Many a time your business card is your "face".

I rubber business card sound way too complicated, I can't imagine how that would fit in someones wallet. These are my first business cards with a small budget and for it being my first attempt I'm very pleased. Magnet business cards are next.

Well let's see some of your work. Interesting you say "it looks elementary" you should know how much work gets put into things like this. Thanks for the heads up, I'll take my chance just like everyone else using cars on their cards. Besides I'm a grain of sand to the auto maker.

I like A much better, so B is gonna get tanked.

Dont get me wrong though.. Lot of guys out here liked it anyway.

Hooker cards??? I don't know what that has to do with a business cards. If you actually were in the market to buy mods for your BMW, why would you toss it bassed on the look? I would at least call to get pricing for the mods I wanted, even if the cards were pink with pics hookers on it.

those are way too wild. very creative though.

[zetaxi165]

Well, if you go for a thin rubber with just the tread etched onto one side and your name and contact etched onto the other you could get away with cards of about 2.5mm thick.

Anyway, it appears that you are looking for something simple and elementary.

p.s: I hope you did these cards in-house and have not paid someone to do it for you. The max any one of these should take is about 2 hours (including re-touching).

[lyndon_h]

B looks better.

[Hawkeye]

I like B, it is easier to read and not as busy.

Dude 2.5mm thick is huge, that's like 5 regular paper cards stacked together. I did want something simple but not elementary. I think I have pulled off a very nice card, seems like everyone else thinks so too.

no need, I already printed A out and am very happy. Thank you.

This is what I think but since you picked A already then nevermind.

"The designs are too busy. Business card design has a ratio of blank space to information which I allows the reader a level of legibility and memory recurrence. When there's too much going on it is hard to discern the image from the information. It appears as though your attempting to combine advertisement and networking into your card? A good attempt but, it just doesn't work, business cards are for conveying contact information, they are tools for networking, save the fancy images for advertising. Avoid using promoters cards as a go by, look at professional cards from fortune 5 company, a simple logo or name will do. You'll lose the boy racer image and increase credibility as a professional business, which is what you want but, then again maybe boy racers are the clients your looking to attract. Just my 2 cents. Good luck."

[mPlasticDesign]

Another vote for A, but you could use some of B minus the tread design and contact info and add some info about your business and use it for the backside. 2-sided for the next batch!

Have you considered a black/white version? I think it would look really nice since the car is already AW.

Thanks for your input but I don't see anything boy racer about the E92 M3.

The back side is already done and looks killer. Here is the back.

That's a cool thought there. Black and white background and have the tread marks in color.

I really like them, keep them lol.

+1, those business cards would be good for an event flier, or something similar, but as business cards they are too "busy". Take, e.g., BMW CA's business cards. They are simple. They have the BMW logo, and their contact information. That's all that's required, and perhaps even desired.

I'm looking through my desk right now at several business cards, and they all are pretty much the same... A logo, company name, contact information, and an indicator of the title/position of the card holder. The M3 is not a boy racer car, but imagine your card with a tricked out Civic on the front, would it still be as "cool"? You want people to focus on your business and who you are, what you can do for them, etc... not on an M3.

now there is some good old fashioned copyright violations right there...

I understand what you are saying but that is NOT what I was after, all the cards you just described are just that "plain".

That's why I dont' have a tricked out Honda, and a good ol' E92 M3. Besides that's the type of cars I work on, so why not.

A!!!

[jmangel1]
