Over The Top Business Cards


Unlike the previous post displaying trendy effective business cards, some failed to meet their standards!
Often companies try to be too clever when creating their business card and can overwhelm the viewer or obscure essential details. Some cards can often miss the target group through uses of innapropriate imagery. Other designs, though creative, could be dismissed purely as a gimmick. In the below image of the USB card M++, conventional business card is taken to the next level, value adding to the business objectives.

Which business card work better, bland practicality versus creative impracticalitly?

  1. I love creativity. The rocks have gone too far, it would work though if they were thin enough to fit into your customer's wallet and the writing was legible. I think you need some creativity to your business card whether it is simplicity using an eye catching logo or a slight gimmick like the ones below in the previous post.

  2. I am all for plain business cards as they are easy to carry around and serve a purpose. Others can pass them on where as I wouldn't take a stone off anyone. A professionally designed card would work better than the gimmic, particularly if it had a great photo promoting your photography business.
