Agreed, the pictures are really good. Two very different photos/images but both work well.

The font, however, I am not a fan of. Too hard to read. Make the font clearer and you will be onto a winner IMO.

I'd lose the 'Web' 'Email' and 'Tel'. People know what they are without needing to be told.

Other than that, they're nice images and look smart. New font is miles better too.

Yes, much! Although, if I am to nit-pick, knock one of the spaces out from between the two sets of numbers in your mobile, and also try it without the : after the web, email and phone.

I like the photos. Not too sure on the back being completly one photo but it does work. Maybe having less info on it? Just the web address?

I also prefer the new font. For reasons I can't entirely explain I don't like that you can see the reg number of the car on the front...

Does it need to be double sided?
I would go for something more simple like this



Sorry for the messy rubbing out!

Or for the back maybe

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark!

I'd have a phone number on it, not everyone always has access to the interweb all the time.

Dont you think its a bit OTT? Keep it simple. Ive binned a lot of business cards because they have looked tacky, ive probably missed a lot of good business deals because of it but people have lost my business and money because of them too. Keep it simple, put your pictures on your website and put your contact details on your business card.

No matter how good it looks, a lot of people are just going to assume its a vistaprint special offer.

Prefer the first 2, but with a better font (not the 2nd font you tried). After that is just descended towards looking more and more "home made" IMHO.

I think it was eurostyle, can't remember if it was already on the pc or if I downloaded it!
Didn't have much choice on this pc, normally use my lappy - nice for a simple one though
