JoeCamaro 11 Posted July 17, 2008 Hello friends! I am in the process of designing my business cards. My business' name is Graficas Decorativas Ilimitadas which means Unlimited Decorative Graphics. I usually like to design very simple artwork for business cards, but as my biz name implies, I do decorative artwork. SO I though I should have some design elements in my bc to go along with the name. I have a version for them, but Im not sure about it. What do you guys think and what would you recommend? I want honest feedback. Dont be nice just because it is me or anything like that. If it is ugly, then it is ugly. Here it is FYI, in the middle it says: shirts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nonabelle 5 Posted July 17, 2008 i like the design, but is that pink or red? on the elements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted July 17, 2008 Thank you guys for your comments Thats Red PMS 186 for the Graficas part of the logo Nonabelle. The people are in 50% PMS 186 and the circles are in 30%. Thats whay the look kinda pink, because they are a screen of the Red. Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeCamaro 11 Posted July 17, 2008 I need to print one to see how "pink" it looks. I still need to decide if I want them printed digital or offset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted July 17, 2008 I like the card layout, think they look great....BUT I'm not a fan of the element color. I would want something more of a blue or green maybe, but heck what do I know!! But you asked for feedback and that's just mine at first glance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted July 17, 2008 Thax Jenny Then, that makes it two who dont like the "pink". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted July 17, 2008 No problem Joe, Now Sarah's feedback. She likes the graphic with your business name, but also feels the elements are to 'pink' looking. Ok now you heard it from her!! LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coloradokev 0 Posted July 17, 2008 I likes it! Nice layout and flow. Coincidentally, regarding Jenny's pink comment, here is an interesting article about a shade of pink very similar to the one you chose. Evidently it makes people calmer and/or less aggressive. Not that it would make any difference on a business card, but I thought I'd share the link for fun anyway. http://bacweb.the-bac.edu/~michael.b.williams/baker-miller.html Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeCamaro 11 Posted July 17, 2008 LOL FF & Nonabelle You all ARE part of my family. I enjoy being here, BUT I dont want my cellphone all over the internet. There are sooo many spammers and psychos and who knows what else around. Do you have any idea of how many people surf the web? And me, being so handsome and desired, posting my personal # in the net could cause me lots of trouble. If you want it, just ask for it. I dont have any problem with you calling me. I must say that Im not a phone person. I dont talk much. Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralais 0 Posted July 17, 2008 I think it looks professional... I like them as well... minus the "pink." One word of advice I would give... try yo make a photo copy of one to see how it comes out. I work in construction & make a lot of copies of business cards... it's important that the business name & number can always be read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeCamaro 11 Posted July 18, 2008 Thanx Charlie, but I need to get rid of the pink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie_b CFXPaintworks 1 Posted July 19, 2008 Dude...Pink is the new BLACK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted July 19, 2008 I think the design elements of the card look really good. As for the colors, if you don't like the pink (which I don't think looks too bad)...if you want to post the same card here in a few different color schemes, I'm sure everyone would be happy to give some feedback on that.
