I'm making new business cards, which do you like best?

[TheSnowman]

I changed up my logo, and I'm messing w/ my business card layout. So far, everyone I've asked, voted on the bottom ones, but I for some reason am still liking the top. Which do you prefer, or would you make total different changes?

I like row 2 except the fade or whatever it is going through the text in the block. Just doesn't seem right to my eyes.

bottom left and top right are my faves

[TheSnowman]

Yes, it is double sided.

I just had Phillip make the logo, so I'm trying to decide what colors work with what. He already had the yellow in it, so I basically threw in the starburst and did some arranging and had it. Just wasn't sure what caught the eye best. I decided it was time to update, so doing the store front, truck, ETC trying to catch people tired eyes.

Thanks for the tips. I think I'm settling with the last one. And for anyone who wanted to ask, yes, I did leave the "t" out of "Washington". I have corrected that on my end.

I like the last one.

The top has that transparency look around the areas you had red on the others. That looks a little funky and somewhat hard to read.

The bottom reads better, but maybe you could change it to maroon or another color besides a primary color.

none of the above

i think you should take the phone number off the front and increase size of your logo so it fills the card. then make your logo glow...place the phone number on back

on the back it is so loud there is no negative space balance. maybe simplify the stuff you do by right justifing and placing bullets on right side and making text just simple one color text, no outline...

Personally I am a fan of cards that have a little space on the back to write in a few notes.

Make that a lot of space.

It's much handier to leave the back blank. Moreover I've always found two-sided cards rather ambiguous as to which might be the primary side. A blank back is far more useful for documenting on the spot quotes, other's contact information, and general note taking than using it up with marginal information that no one care's about anyway.

Then there's having your phone number spell out some clever thing. I despise this. Perhaps most every modern being has some sort of talented texter's thumb but a single digit is far crisper than having to pick from 3 characters when trying to dial that sucker. Especially when your clever word contains an 'I' or an 'O', even more ambiguous than a two sided card. Most people never remember a phone number even if it can be represented by words, clever or not so clever. The only one I've ever remembered was a number seen long ago on the back of a truck; "Don't Like MY Driving, Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT"
