Awesome DJ Business Card Designs

This is a pretty cool business card concept for a DJ (or anyone who does live performances) that looks just like a concert ticket.

The back looks pretty legit as well with a place for a logo, information or event details.

The back: you can customize the top area with your logo or ad

Amazing Edible Business Cards – That LOOK Like Business Cards!

Just came across these very “business card looking” edible business cards.

Surprisingly Typical Looking Edible Business Cards

Amazingly REAL Looking Edible Business Cards



A nice departure from other edible business cards that don’t look very real at all.

Made in Bangkok by executive Pastry Chef Slawomir “Slawec” Golaszewski, these are made from fine chocolate, and fully customizable. A bit of a hike from my neck of the woods… but very impressive nonetheless.

Business Card Contest Winner…

OvernightPrints and ShoeMoney recently held a contest for the best business card design (for ShoeMoney).

407 entries later, this was the winner…

The winning business card design

Personally, having seen some pretty ridiculous (ie. great) business cards online, I’m a bit surprised to see this as the winner.

Not that it’s bad. It’s undoubtedly nicely designed with a clever credit card concept.

But I gotta believe there was a better one in the bunch.

Sidenote: It also lacks even a tagline so I have no idea what ShoeMoney is about.

Would have liked to see some of the other entries.

Oh well.

Recycled Business Cards – Where To Get Them

recycled_business_cards

Make a Statement with Recycled Business Cards.

Recycled business cards generally use both post consumer paper and vegetable based, or soy inks, and a sustainable printing process.

That makes them a great deal less wasteful than the average business card. When you consider how many business cards trade hands every day, that’s a wonderful thing.

While recycled business cards are becoming more widely available, they’re still not as prevalent as you might think (or, hope).

Of course, that’s certain to change as more people begin demanding them.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for recycled business cards here are a few places to consider.
