New Business Cards

One of the funnest parts of having a new logo is getting new business cards!

My old cards were a bit random. Purple, black and white with a halftone pattern (?!?!) on the front and little love hearts and giant text taking up all the space on the black. I’ve been looking forward to replacing them for a while.

For the new cards I wanted to keep things super simple, letting the new logo speak for itself. I had my heart completely set on using embossing for the new cards but a mighty large quote changed my mind on that pretty quickly. Perhaps one day when I need a gazillion cards I will go with that option.

The Gotham typeface in two different weights was used for the text on the back which matches the logotype on the front of the cards. I chose a matte aqueous coating for the cards, which gives them this perfect not to shiny but not too rough feel. And this allows them to be written on with a ballpoint pen which is useful.

Another change from the old cards was the decision not to put my contact phone number on them. In the year and a half I had with the old cards, I think about 99% of contact was made via email so it seemed like having a phone number on there was a little pointless. Will see how it goes though, if it’s a problem I can always add it back on there.

So here they are ...
