Thanks for your comment Bill. Those slick Moo cards are, well, slick! I really like them. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you can drop a link here to have a look at your card.

You could always upload a photo of your card to Flickr or even here: http://allyoucanupload.webs...

Cheeers.

I ordered some through Moo.com a while back and have gotten great responses from everyone I give them too. These cards are much smaller than normal business cards and immediately stand out...as long as they don't lose them.

Thanks for the comment Sean. That's a really good point. Your example is a good one. I guess it is different strokes for different folks. I mean, my drink ticket business card may not have been as much fun had I presented them at a more conservative function.

Cheers

Good points about business cards. However, as with all design, it's very subjective. Years ago I remember I saw a full-color card from a professional boat captain. (Interesting that Seth Godin's examples have to do with boats also.) This captain's card showed him standing in front of a huge black marlin that was hanging by its tail. It was much longer than the captain. The implicit message? Hire me and catch big fish. He had broken many design rules, but the card worked.
