We need more business cards
#1
Any changes you'd like to see? Upgrades, add-ons? Discuss
#2
can you print up sets with different logos? I liked the star logo we had, maybe the nut and bolt ones too?

Graphically, I love the card the way it is. I think it's perfect, honestly.

that being said, I don't think I'm using them right... when I see a business card on my vehicle, I immediately think someone is trying to sell me something and chunk the card, especially if I have no context. I've passed out probably close to 45 cards in the last two months and have only had a handful of people actually come to the board.

so, I'm starting to write things on the back like "you're got a sweet ride. some checkout our online Jeep community, we'd love to have you." or stuff like that. Do you want to print something on the back of the card that is a little more descriptive as to what we are and why they got the card, or do you still want to have the "cool mystique" of a random card with a website and you get to "discover" what it is all about... I'm fine either way, but if the cards are one of our main marketing devices, then they could be more effective, either through execution (writing stuff on the back, leaving a note, etc...), or through design (modifying the card to convey more information). If we put more stuff on the front, though, I think it looses it's cool. I love the design. The fish jumps out at some people, doesn't at others, but in my book, it's the best card I've ever seen...

my 2 cents.

Dana and I always write in the back.
I usually write, "Nice Jeep! Check out ours."
#5
So I guess an update to our old one?

Although....

But this design usually works in bigger examples, so we may should keep with the old theme

I like the top one too, but the one with the fish logo and the tribal thing that looks similar to the top one is still my fav.

I guess the bottom one works (love the logo), but would need to see it actually on a card, I guess for it not look too busy for a business card design.

Again, just my 2 cents. They all look great and beat the heck out of plain ol' cards!

I'll write more on the back and see if I can step up our my results.

I really like the 2nd one. I have also said I would like to get some Polo shirts with just that on the left corner. Just my 2 cents.
#8
Jonathan and I like the top one the best. The bottom one is a cool design but when it's that small it's too busy.
#9
I too like the top one... any way to work a fish into it?

Bottom one is cool too, but I too can see it being too much for a business card.
#10
I agree on the busy-ness.
Definitely add the fish:

Anything else?
Rounded corners?
Want something on the back? Tagline, message, etc?
#11
You could put "we know Fat Bob" on the back
#12
sadly, that might actually work. ;)
#13
About to order... anything you wanted on the back? Calendar? text?
#14
I still like the idea of some sort of text on back saying something along the lines of they've been carded and should come check our site, it's a online community, etc... blah blah blah.

Nothing too wordy, and I'm not where I can give it my full thought to come up with something short but clever, but you get the idea...

If anyone else thinks it's goofy, I'm OK using a pen... I just don't always have a pen in the Jeep, but I always have cards.
#15
K, ordered they are.
Keep a pen handy for the back.
Give em 4-6 days
#16
maybe for Christmas I'll get a pen holder to compliment my Mag Light holder. :cool)

I need to just prefill out the back of 2 dozen cards one night, then put them in the Jeep...
#17
Yay for more cards! I think I'm gonna make it a goal for me to put them on a certain amount of Jeepers
#18
Maybe I'll actually get some this time!

Magic Eight Ball says Outlook not so good
