Creative and Unique Business Cards

By 2009/04/17Profile

I have been seeking great, unique business card designs lately to base my company’s business cards on. I think a business card tells a lot about your company and I have been looking for something unique and fun to show those characteristics that I want to promote at That Network.

I have found a lot of great designs – especially those on Flickr – which shows a lot of great creativity in business card designs. I would love to say “gone are the days of graphicless $9 boxes of cards from the local Printalottastuff,” but unfortunately, there are a lot of really boring cards still out there.

Come on people! Liven it up! Bring on the creativity, the panache, the thing that makes me want to keep your card. Design something that drives card scanners nuts and forces people to hand type your information in (all of the Cardscan owners out there hate that!).

There are endless possibilities with these little calling cards. I marvel at some of the typefaces selected, how a little type makes a big difference in the image I develop of a company. I hope this little collection of cards expands your thinking and makes you reach for something a little more fun than stock photography and a centered name and title.
