that is so bad, I wouldn't waste the paper to print it on. the photo is TOO BUSY. if you are determined to stick with the horizon find a photo which is a lot less busy. flat blue water and plain blue/orange sky.
Simple solution for our sanity if you just don't see how ugly it is ... change all the outer glow and stroke effects to black, leave your nic but remove the names of the boards you post on, remove the photo of yourself all together ... and btw, what *is* advanced scripting?!

HP, you've never had the right biz card then!!! Even with what you followed up that comment with I still strongly disagree ... a good business card can (and has for me in the past) close a deal. It may not close a deal with YOU, but you are 'mr simple text bbs days dude' - you don't represent the majority!
Our last purvebucks business cards are almost mini brochures ...
1 side has logo and contact info for myself and xippy on the same card, the other side has a point form of the program highlights ... it sure saves carrying additional brochure's and print crap with you when at a show!

Actually, I'm a geek. I would really rather just have an address card beamed to my phone or pda.
But suffice to say I'm not often taken in by shiny objects....
Personally, and no offense, but I could give a shit about how flashy and cool a business card is. I use them for one purpose only - Information. Colorful graphics and glossy paper means absolutely Zero to me on a business card.
Personally, I prefer:
- White, with very readable text. A logo is cool but not gonna necessarily grab my attention.
- Some form of stock paper that I, or you, can make notes on with a regular ball point pen. If I can't make notes how am I going to remember meeting you among the multi-dozens of other business cards I come away with from a convention?
When I get back from the shows and I'm organizing stuff one of the things I do is sort through all the biz cards I got. I make 2 stacks ... Stack 1 are the ones with notes scribbled on them - these are the ones that get followed up on. Stack 2 are the ones with no notes - these get filed away and IF something comes up I might rifle through these and make contact.
Just my $0.02 and a different angle on this discussion.

Okay okay I admit it...
It was ME!!! I was just being nice
Okay okay... I wasnt really being nice... But the thought of you actually handing out those horribly atrocious cards to everyone was just hysterically funny and amused me alot.
hehehe

You should definitley use the camaro in something. In fact, you should change your name to Red Camaro Productions. It has become your identity. Could even have little car cutout business cards instead of regular ones. :P

is this thread like an accident you can't look away from DrG? :P
Colin: Normally I'd agree.. but if you think of it like a grogan feature rather than something he needs fixed.. it makes reading this stuff funnier! He does something right though.. how many people would reply to almost anyone else that asked for opinions on our business card.. and it being so comically crappy is like a cherry on top for me entertainment wise! :-)))
And imagine the casual passers by that must wonder if Steve's threads are meant to be jokes or not half the time too

Yeah, just like Forest.
Grogan's a good guy. He's going to make millions.
