My Business Card is No Longer Crap

Fol­low­ing my recent busi­ness card post, the redesign and print­ing of my new cards is now com­plete. Here’s what they look like, front and back:

Click to enlarge, etc. The thing to know — which explains the front of the card — is that they’re not printed on standard-sized busi­ness card stock, but on 150-lb tag, cut to 3“x5”. Index card size. The dot­ted line is actu­ally a per­fo­ra­tion, so a standard-sized busi­ness card can be detached from the index card. When I flip the card over, it’s designed to write on the back, either hor­i­zon­tally or ver­ti­cally. Detach­ing the standard-sized busi­ness card leaves the knight logo aligned in the cor­ner on the back. For good mea­sure (and atten­tion to detail), the heav­ier lines on the grid are exactly ½”.

Cir­cu­lat­ing now: Art of the Busi­ness Card — a pho­to­set on Flickr — I rec­om­mend the slideshow.  Some fab­u­lous work in the set, though my per­sonal bias is against any­thing out­side of stan­dard busi­ness card dimen­sions if it won’t fit in a stan­dard card holder or file.  Break rules, but keep cer­tain ones intact.
