Our company is looking to revamp our tired and boring business card. What we would like is something eye catching and cool enough that people will actually want to keep it in their wallet/purse and not just throw it away.

I'm including a full catalog of our different shop logo's as well as a picture of our current business card.

The company name is Audio Outlet and we are a mobile electronics (see: car audio) retailer and installer. We also deal with mobile video, security, and tint.

Here is an example of our current logo's and business card.

Here are some backdrops i found online that I really liked. All of these are licensed so if you would like to use one of these, let me know and I can purchase a usage license. Or feel free to design your own.

I would like the card to have the same info as the card i pictured (address, website, phone #). I dont really care if we keep the *your home, car & marine audio specialist* but if you do keep it, please remove the *home* part.


And lastly, I would like the finished project to be ready to upload to Vistaprint.com

http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/eas...1=1181.120.1.195042|195042|137|0&redir=3&rd=2

This is the site that we will be using to print the cards.

We are offering $50 to the design we like the most.

It might be a good idea if you also picked a few fonts you liked. It is also possible to design some custom Letters, particularly for the A and the O, but there are many many great fonts to use.

Here's a very simple card. Colors, placement, etc. can be altered. I would work on it more but work calls!

Got called off work for a couple hours so . . . Here's an idea, exploding speakers. I won't do anymore work on it till you say if you like it and want to purchase the usage license.

Here's a version of your B/Card....

Let me know if you want me to continue down this road? It's all the correct dimensions for VistaPrint and it's CMYK print ready.

I really dig this one! The font and placement look great and im glad you removed the words "bass" from the backdrop. I would however, prefer to keep our original font and usage of the large O. I found the font from our business card logo and its called Chaney. Im not sure if that helps or not, but if it doesnt, i can probably find a vector of our logo.


Also, no time scale and Im really not feeling the exploding speakers.

We need to know if you are having both sides of the cards printed, or just on one side.

Nope, just one side

***Also, it would be great if yall could include a FIRST LAST NAME spot and a TITLE spot (similar to our current cards)

Image awaiting mods approval, shouldn't be too long.

Awesome!! i really like the direction. Im a huge fan of the font and coloring of the Audio Outlet name. However, I feel that the speaker is a tad dull. I would like it to not be branded (its a sony speaker) and if you could do it with a side or angled shot of a speaker it would be pretty cool.

Inkz: We would prefer the cards to be single sided as we are constantly using our cards to write appointment times or prices for customers.

I know you really like Inkz's design. It is awesome. Nevertheless, here's mine, taking into account your concerns.

As I look at this, I feel like there is too much information. The text could go smaller I suppose, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would recommend putting some of the info such as address and phone number- on the back, but leaving room for writing. But, it's not a make or break issue IMO.

Now I admit I am thinking of borrowing an idea from INKZ. If you like the blue glow, I can add it to the flying saucer . . . (Oh wait, you're not in Roswell) . . . to the speaker.

Rearrangement of text:
