Nice list! I really like the Hello My name is except that the writing is hard to read… but it’s a great take on the stickers tho.

Awesome Cards!
May 16th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Very inspiring and way outside the common schlock others are peddling. The custom die cuts look expensive but very cool.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Nice ones.

Hi, look my business card.
May 18th, 2008 at 1:36 am
Some of those are great, but lay off the leaves, people.

I need help designing a card for my daughter’s web site http://www.colorforacure.org. Any ideas?
May 18th, 2008 at 5:05 am
Nice compilation of business cards. Just superb.
May 18th, 2008 at 6:16 am
Apart from a couple of cards which I don’t exactly fancy, great list!
May 18th, 2008 at 6:53 am
gets costly with two colors or more
May 18th, 2008 at 6:54 am
These are among the worst business cards I’ve seen. I’d recommend this as what to avoid. They all lack the most important element which is substance. In a year you’ll look back at this list and understand, since they’ll all be out of style by then (well they actually already are a couple years past their time).

@Kevin (colorforacure) cards322 Matthew Inman look like Moo Minicards. Have you considered using a photo of Emily (or some art work by her)?

i agree with harry (16.). the title should read “36 business card designs you should avoid”.
May 18th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Wow! These are works of art made to inspire. I am impressed. It makes me rethink our own business card. Thanks for sharing.

MUSTACHE and http://www.moustache.com do not go together. Either get http://www.mustache.com or change the card to MOUSTACHE.
For a business card you need to think about how they are going to get used. If the main goal is to have someone take a card, then you might want it to be flashy. If people are going to have your card anyway but you want them to notice it among many competitors, then you might want more branding elements. If people are going to your card for information but they’re not trying to choose among cards, then being noticed isn’t the main goal; making it easy to read and providing lots of information (email, web, phone, name, services) is the best use of that space. If you often write extra information on the card before giving it out, or if you’re giving a card to Hugh MacLeod, be sure to leave lots of white space for writing.

cool business cards. They’re simply inspirational!
May 18th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Nice business cards you are showing off. I wished I could add all of them to my business card collection.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Hi All,
Any information presented in a right spot / color / message is always full filed. Hence forth has no expiry date. But it will be there in the same cycle…
good try
May 20th, 2008 at 10:55 am
WOW! Exellent list!
I like this business cards
May 21st, 2008 at 7:39 am
These are some really nice modern designs that have the popular web 2.0 / vector design flavors that will work very well for people in many fields but not all. Someone commented that they are the worst designs as they will be out dated soon. I strongly disagree. I hope this style sticks around for a long time.
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:48 am
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great!!
May 23rd, 2008 at 8:56 am
Agree with Harry. This is exactly the kind of cards that is eye candy enough to please clients but has absolutely no core idea behind it.
May 23rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Nice! Does anyone know what the name for the style of printing that alternates between matte and glossy finish – like in the first business card example at the top?
Is this sort of printing generally available only by highly specialized printers?
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Most of them are really busy to my taste. There’re some nice through.
May 26th, 2008 at 1:20 am
here is my personal card, i´m from argentina so the information its in spanish, in the front say “Graphic design” but i take off some leters but still you can read it.

It’s called spot varnish. Most printers will be able to do this for you. Just ask them. Make sure to ask how they prefer you design/setup the file for spot varnishes. ie. layers, or a different color, etc.
May 26th, 2008 at 8:21 am
These are really great cards!
I also like the blogger cards (featuring a customizable tag cloud) from http://www.ooprint.com
They offer some great designs, including student business cards & 2008 campaign cards with your political candidate on the back.
Plus, they have a great trial offer . . . you can get 100 business cards free!
May 26th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Wow. Really awesome. I like every single design…
May 27th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Really like the NT (NagTags) and Mustache card.
May 27th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Those business cards are really great… Great designs
May 29th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Great looking business Cards. Business more now than ever are starting to break the mold, from traditional business styles. To something to remember. Great design inspiration as well.
May 29th, 2008 at 7:49 pm

May 30th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Very good!!!
Çok iyi tasar?mlar ç?km??
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:39 am
wow, so many leaves! the creative witty folks even cleverly disguised the ripped-off Panic Coda leaf by rotating it… nice
June 2nd, 2008 at 3:06 am
Fantastic collection! Thanks for sharing.
June 2nd, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Wow I actually haven’t seen any of these before. I wish that the two people who said they don’t like the cards would explain why instead of just criticizing or show some of their own designs…
June 4th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Rock ON! One of those business cards belong to a couple of my friends. That has got to give them the biggest head Evar!
June 4th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Great Collection!! I’ve got ideas from those awesome designs. thanks a lot

Great list! I’m am still waiting for an inspiration! (i’ve got no one for myself!)
June 25th, 2008 at 6:19 am
this list is wonderfull
July 1st, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Just simply creative! Fabulous!!! There are so many business card printers/designers out there who lack creativity. With this in mind, would you consider providing some referrals to great designers and printers that can provide these types of quality business cards? As a marketing consultant, I would really appreciate it. Thanks and God Bless, Tyra
