First of all, thanks to everyone who gave input on my business card below. I've been a little torn on this though. I can't decide if I want the 'Classic' sign shop look, or a retro look and feel. I'm almost thinking about doing both, printing on both sides of the business card. Anyway, this is what I came up with for a retro look. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I don't like the use of CreamPuff for the body copy. It is hard to read. The outline blurs evrything as well.

I like the overall feel, though.

Two offers:

1) Keep your name in the same text as phone number

2) Reduce keyline around www.

Hope this adds - apart from that, a great card

Cheers - Gregg

Why not print one layout on one side and the other on the flip side? It'll help show some range in your abilities.

Phillip, I second what Joey said also if you capitalize the N and the S in newellsigns.com it helps people read and recognize words for the web site NewellSigns.com [Smile]

Good points. Actually, I like the nostalgia of 'www'. I'm sort of old fashioned for a 32 year old punk.

And I was thinking exactly the same thing Glenn. [Wink]

With suggested changes:

What if you left justified your services copy and made the guy a bit bigger? It would eliminate the negative space on the left and make the guy bigger!

It is getting better, though!

I am liking it.

I like it, and I think Broooce's last suggestions are good ones.
Not 100% keen on an arched script tho.
Your work never ceases to impress me.
Love....Jill
