What do you think about my business card?

**slickooz** · 03-09-2011, 09:49 PM

My friend is helping me with a business card because the generic online template doesn't look very professional. This may help other trying to make their own business card and give an idea what to look for and what to stay away from.

This is just a rough draft.

Let me know what you like and what you would change. Thanks everyone!
Welcome all comments and criticisms.

Big Slick Detailing, huh? Hmmm, I don't know about that. Reminds me of BP's mess in the Gulf. Sorry, but that was the first thing that came to mind. Only God knows why.

Maybe because you think there too much stuff on the card? Should I just keep it simple? I need some more opinions before I finalize everything.

I really like all the individual features but I think it is a bit much from a design standpoint.

No, it's simple enough, I just think you should change your business name to something other than Big Slick Detailing. Between that name and all the black fru-fru stuff going on on the left hand side, it just makes me think of oil. I could be going crazy though. Maybe I'm thinking about oil because I'm rusting?

Oh, poo. Now I know I'm losing my mind. That's OK - a nice trip to Florida should cure me just fine!

Bro, I get boring business cards all day long from vendors. I enjoy it, stands out, makes me read it and thats what you want them to do. Wont have trouble finding that in her purse, on his desk or in the ash tray.

I bet you something simple like changing the black to blue would make a difference in what everyone is saying here - make it more of a "clean" feeling.

Actually I look at that card and the first thing coming to mind is...what business are you trying to offer. Other than your name that card does not give any type of idea to what you do. Hell I would think you either work in the Club Industry or some type of Art Industry.

Hell mine is not a great example, but it at least gives idea that I work in something automotive related and says at least Mobile Detailing.

Haha. I'm kind of dead set on Big Slick Detailing because I just bought a 5 year domain. :P There also going be some gloss on the card to make some stuff stand out more.

Thanks phoneguy! My friend who making this for me is very talented and has a lot of ideas. When he show me this I was very happy with it being it stood out and it was different from all the business card I seen in the past.

I like really like the black color scheme because its more classy, but we can try other colors to see if it can achieve the look we want.

Thanks guys for feed back much appreciated!!!

Thanks for some feedback. I forgot to mention this, that I won't be just leaving these on people cars. I will personally hands these out to potential customer and explain to them what I do or leave them my clients.

Maybe "Auto" should be there somewhere or a car?
