Good use of typography and design to come up with a unique business card

that engages the reader and leaves that lasting impression we're seeking !

handmade, plantable seeded paper, two inks + transparent white.

Even though I like this card, particularly the craftsmanship involved,

I feel that gimmicky has won the day over common sense on this one,

it's hard to read and remember whose this cool card belongs to.

apparently it was designed using wordle and printed at Moo's.

It seems like a  collection of their "keywords", randomly laid out and in just 4 colours.

Scores high on subliminal brownie points !

If you are and artist or a in a creative field, just keep it simple, showcase your art

over the front of the business card and that should do the job.

That on it's own should make a unique business card, well, unless you're plagiarizing of course !

Unique business card designed for divorce lawyer

A clever and unique business card designed for a divorce lawyer.

There a few unique business cards like this one hinging on the symbolism of the break up, pre-and-post divorce. I’ll post the others soon.

In the meantime let’s hear what the designer had to say …

“…From the “Big ideas don’t always have to be big” category we decided to make the most of our client’s request for a new business card. For starters, when the space you have to work with is 3.5 x 2 inches simplicity is of the essence. After that, we started exploring different visual solutions for the concept of divorce. We wanted it to have universal quality so it wasn’t long before the idea of splitting and dividing started working it’s way into the card….”

Strip business card by creative studio junge-schachtel

Scott Ray designed this interesting strip business card for collaborative duo junge-schachtel design studio.  This same presentation is used in the home page on their website.

“The material is paper (250 g)
The outside of the card is laminated whereas the inside is in matt neon pink. On the back of the card you see the name of each of us (Nina Dautzenberg and Andrea Gadesmann) printed in a matte white.
The idea came up, since we love to do packaging and we specialize in packaging….therefore our name has to do with packaging. We are called ‘jungeschachtel’ which means ‘young box’…in German you call old ladies ‘old box’….and since we are not that old and love to create boxes of any sort of kind we made that word game which really makes people laugh.
The cards were printed in Berlin with a productioner called Lothar Hartmann.”

By the way ,  they have also come up with a very fashionable dog poop bag !
