Business cards are cards representing company or individual bearing business information like company’s or individual’s name, address, e-mail, telephone number etc. Usually business cards are simple – black text on white background – including just main information and company’s logotype, but there are many other creative business cards standing out and really taking attention. I took a special interest in these kind of business cards, so here is my list about the most awesome and creative business cards, I’ve ever seen.
1.Business card designed by Graham Jones with type set in Lubalin Graph. Lovely shiny design.
2. This business card by G-Man, great typography.
3. David Corti (AKA Mr. September Industry)
6. Great idea of creating metal card:

Richard all of those are pretty unique cards, but everybody’s favorites are different! :)

I like the Magic Support card and Victor Konovalov’s velvet cards.
The ‘baggage tags’ in 47 are nicely done; I’ve seen this done before, but, for the company using them, it wasn’t fitting – they have nothing to do with travel!

Hello, David, I feel honored, You visited my web site too, it’s always good to hear nice words! Thanks! I will keep up good work!
Thursday, September 18th, 2008 23:19
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make one just like #31 for a while now, given my domain name, haha.
Love your site Dainis – added you to my blogroll.
Friday, September 19th, 2008 02:05
beets sad that these kind of business cards can’t create in 3dsmax :) That #31 is pretty tough one :)
I love to hear that! These words strengthens me to go on!
Thursday, September 18th, 2008 18:48
@Dani that’s great, hope this helps!
@CoolProducts – I am little amazed from those ideas, just many of them are difficult to create from technical view. You are right about discrediting I guess, but I think that examples here are great – because their business cards are tied with sphere.
Zac – actually good question, but for example for metal business cards are special company, who does it, so I think there just need to search for typography company, who offers such services.
@Arda thank You!

Everybody has business cards but if you really want to make an impression, you have to come up with something a bit different. All the models presented above have good eye catching potential and they are worth trying.

It’s not difficult to conceive a business card, but sure is difficult being creative and some of these do show greate creativity.

In Flanders it’s a bit difficult to find a printing office that’s capable for these kind of prints. When we need to create special printwork we search for a printing office in France.

I agree, most of the business cards do look good: creative and professional. But: from my point of view, the real art is to make a business card with an original design and a professional look, and all that for an affordable price. Just printing in color makes it so much more expensive, and then I’m not even talking about a shiny design of things that can be folded or anything like that. First impressions are important, but how much should you be willing to invest in a business card that just as well might end up with “thousands” of others in someone’s wallet?

some great designs here
amazing
I don’ think that I could personally afford some of these cards, not sure how much it would cost to print and have all the special effects and materials.
I love the lawyer one..divorce
that is a classic
probably not too expensive to print, and represents what the business does
