A couple months ago I did a complete redesign of my personal logo and website, but I was neglecting my business card design as long as possible. I finally decided to try out moo.com and with their 50 image option. I knew I wasn't going to be able to choose just one back image, so why not use them all?!
I wanted a variety of back options that I could tailor to the people receiving them. I also wanted to feature simple patterns or illustrations and focus on color combinations. I've always been a color theory nerd and this was a perfect opportunity to explore without constraints. I tried to have a variety or feeling for each back; some more professional, some that represented specific seasons, but all simple and interesting — the way I like to work.
Here's what I came up with
Now I had to come up with a front. I knew I wanted to focus on my shiny, new logo and keep the rest very simple. I didn't want it to compete with the back(s).
I went with the Moo card size, which is slightly taller and skinnier than normal business cards, and I sprung for the Soft Touch Super Business Card option. When I received the cards in the mail I was more than pleasantly surprised. I've used online printing before where you can see the digital printing dots and seemed like something I could print on my office printer. My new cards, on the other hand, are sturdy, they have a soft velvet feel and impeccably printed. I will definitely reorder once I run out! .. I may have to come up with 42 more back options before then!
