Your business card carries the brand of your company and represents yourself, a well designed and printed card can impress and make people take notice and remember you which is what you’re aiming for. A badly designed or printed card can leave a bad impression or even worse be simply forgotten.
Im currently researching creative business cards as I felt it’s about time I made some up for my company, there are many examples of great business cards and today we will be showcasing 15 of the best, Enjoy …
Simplebits - When I was beginning to research this topic, the first I thought of was Dan Cederholm’s rebrand for Simplebits - great type and logo letter-pressed into good quality card makes this one of my favourites
Thielen Designs - Mimicking clothing sale tags, includes a rivet and the designer’s 2 cents!
Harold Lee Miller - Love the retro-quality of this card, Ties in with the website branding and letter head design well
Intersection Magazine - Definately a one-off, this card actually folds into a minature Nissan Skyline car
CHM Systems - Im not a huge fan of strange shapes as I think a card should fit a wallet but they definately stand out
Heads Inc - Printed on perspex, gives the card more perception of value, as a commenter says “This is one card I would keep forever!”
Lodge Design - Embossed metal, I shudder to think of the cost but they look great. Another card that won’t get thrown away
Heinz Wild - Another personal favourite, absolutely brilliant
Four Seasons - A striking image must make this stand out like a sore thumb amongst a drawer full of plain white cards
Wunderburg Design - The company mark embossed in a seal, great stuff
Hows my designing ? - Great curvy retro design
Citizen - Immitating a cinema ticket, another great example of a card that stands out
Pomagranit - Lovely letterpressed type with a paper-overlay and lovely grainy card stock
Promptt - Another card immitation a tag, lovely work
I-D - yet more cards pretending to be something they aren’t - This time its coupons!
I hope thats proved that your business card doesn’t have to be boring - Take some inspiration from these and make your card stand out.
