Last business card draft before print

Let me know what you all think!

Looks nice.

Personally, I like dark designs, they always look good, though if you're planning to reflect that design in your website, you may regret choosing it as a design theme later. Dark backgrounds really limit your choice of font colours and they can make working with graphics and images more difficult and time consuming. Having said that, the result can sometimes be worth the extra effort.

Grammatically speaking, I'm not sure that "Keeping You On Solid Ground" should be inside quotation marks though, unless it's a commonly spoken phrase or you're specifically quoting someone (or yourself). I would just leave it italicised, without the quotation marks, and perhaps dim it a little by making it 10-20% grey.

Like the card design although I like white backgrounds. Your design reversed onto white would look good. Also don't forget your services can go on the back. I have a lot more of my services on the back of my business cards.

Thanks for the tips! I'll look into those ideas. I'm pretty set with the darker scheme but what you both mentioned are options I've considered.

Does it look crowded with content? that was my biggest concern.

That's why I mentioned using the reverse. If your going to mention your services then you might want to have more which you won't have the opportunity on the front.

I'm not sure sure about having President on there either. I don't have anything under my name then when I turn up I can be a tech, owner anything I want. I also have my mobile number on mine as well as business cards are a personal thing.

To your concern about how it flows, I think it's brilliant. I do agree with Moltuae on your slogan format.

1. I prefer white/very light backgrounds to very dark ones. It allows people to write on the card.

2. Definitely make use of the back of the card. I decided to have my logo and 4 lines for making notes.

3. Like the "solid ground" and symbol idea.

4. Maybe Service in place of Computer Maintenance.

dave@cnycm thanks for the comment and yea I definitely will be looking into changing that part of the slogan and see how it looks.

Markverhyden, I'm glad you noticed the symbol idea. I used the symbol for "ground to earth" that's typically used in electronic schematics. Also thanks for pointing out maintenance, I had a little bit of trouble deciding if I wanted to you use that word. Thanks for the tips. I will look into putting a white background with note space on the back of the card.

updated draft before print

Let me know what you all think of the changes! thanks

Dark side is the front/ light side is the back of the card (for note taking).

Change number to

(209) 499-6420

VERY nice! I may take some inspiration for my next design!

I like it. Would look nice printed on a thick 16pt matte card.

The only thing I'd do differently would be to change "low level data recovery" to "data recovery". You can make the point that you only do low level after the customer has contacted you. Plus, looks more professional.

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. I wish I would've checked the forum today because I just ordered the cards this morning and now came home to see some good suggestions I'll have to wait til the next batch. Thank you all for the help!! I'll post an end result which will be open to criticism as well lol
