I'm ready to change my Business cards and would like some advise from you guys and girls. I would like to stay with a one or two color design, I like it simple and plane. The first card was done 4 years ago when I started in the sign business and I think it shows. Go easy on me. http://members.aol.com/bigdsigns/jblogo.jpg

The second one look the best to me ...but (you knew it was coming right?) the word 'SIGNS' is too small for me. I would also move the phone numbers down and make them more prominant, dinky phone numbers are a pet peeve of mine, and I would spread the web address across nearly from end to end of the name's background. And the kerning is nichts so gutt (sorry I don't know where the umlauts are in the character map).

#4 does it for me. Mainly because I think it reads better, meaning the elements don't compete with each other for your attention. Another thought to try if you prefer to use the panels, is you extend the left hand end of the panel around your name to the edge of the circular panel and trim it to end concentrically (sp?) with the circular one. I get the feeling it would tie the design together a little tighter. Purely subjective but HTH, David

David's remake is the best, however, all of them could benefit by simplifying the copy. Signs is repeated, as is lettering, the owners name/initials , even has two phone numbers. Which should they call? Call forwarding/rollover not possible.

Thank you for all the reply's. I worked on a new design based on your input and simplicity. Lees can be more beautiful then more.
