Hi forum,

Again would like to have your input and feed back on some advertising...business cards.

Please take a look and let me know what you think & which back is better...good or bad it's all constructive!

Kind regards

Craig

I've never been a lover of stating something like "MD" as a job title on a business card.

Unless you're describing that you're in a certain part of the company (sales, marketing, export etc) I find it a bit unnecessary - a bit like using "Mr John Smith"

The other thing is that you want to forget about putting the 2010 thing on the back of them - this idea will get worse and worse the further we get into 2010 and beyond. Even if you have it changed to 2011, it still gives them a use-by date.

Finally, the "one-stop-shop" phrase is used a bit too much these days in my opinion.

Just my thoughts - others may have different ideas.

Needs more of a colour injection. Both of the red's seem far too pale to me.

Where do I start.

Sorry need redesigning full stop.

In all honesty the Vista Print free templates look better designed than these.

Loose the calender, no one uses a business card as a calender!

Your registered number is of no use on our card

Oh and do you have authorisation to used Nintendo's characters?

A business card is important - first impressions count. Sorry to be harsh but if you handed me one of those cards. I would find it hard to take you seriously.

I agree with Dean, they need a redesign. Even if you do have Nintendo's permission to use their characters why would you want to?

Do you not have your own logo or branding to use?

What is the criteria to be a nintendo approved seller? Is it handled by Nintendo themselves? If so it might be worth adding that onto a card.

Definitely needs work, maybe with your own logo instead of the mario pic, and drop the managing director and the reg no. I too would say lose the calendar because of the use by date as mentioned above. Also the border around the logo should go, no disrespect but it just looks as if it has been slapped on and does not really go with the flow of the design and the jpg picture image is poor quality, maybe save it as a png instead and increase the resolution (to about 300dpi).
