I’ve been poking around for inspiration for a new business card (for conferences, letters, etc.) and have come across someĀ designs that break the mold pretty nicely. My own cards have mostly been replaced by the “I’ll send you an email with my contact info on it” closure to conversations, and somehow that feels empty with certain people. As I move closer to doing informational products and workshops, I find I should have some cards around. Since I Know I won’t distribute many, I think I should make a good impression. Click to see a slide show of some amazing ones.
The same gallery with artist / credits is over at the “Art of the Business Card” at Daily Poetics. I’ll add new card galleries to this post as I find them, so bookmark me!
And just as I was about to publish this I see on my RSS reader that Seth Godin (a name you’ll see mentioned frequently on this blog) has recently published his thoughts on some common business card mistakes. I’d like to hear what he has to say above some of those above. Do you have a card design as awesome as those above? Post it on a photo site and post a link.
If elegance is not your thing, and you just want to make people spit out their drinks in laughter, pop over to the GapingVoid comic cards site.
David Airey calls out some good designs on his excellent blog, too.
Be sure to check out the folding chair business card in this collection at Creativebits.
If you want to look at more business cards than you’d get from a Ferrari Drawing Fishbowl at Macworld, check out bla.st, the Free International Business Card Site

Hi thanks for the mention too. There’s a popular section on bla.st which is quite interesting, and shows which cards stand out in a crowd:
