Like I said, last post will have the updated cards... I'll keep updating as I edit them...



Thanks a lot guys,

-Ivan
 
The first one out of the two is better and I would definetly get rid of the logo's maybe a faded shot of you buffing would be cool photoshop it in so we can get a ideal ho that would look
 
I'd work on cutting out the cars in photoshop better. If I received the card in its current state unfortunately I think I would laugh.
 
I like the 1st better Ivan. I would think a photo of you working on a car might look nice too. You *might* try Car Detailing Specialist, instead of Car Cleaning Specialist. Or even Auto detailing Specialist.



I know you're *in general* catering to the enthusiast market, but having the pcrest and roundel in there make it seem a but too specific to me. I like the idea of the pcar on the left, and a pic of you working on another nice car on the right. Just an idea. (coming from the guy that isn't going to have any pics on my first business cards hehe).
 
Clean up the car cutouts and lose the car badges. You are not advertising for those two automakers, so why would they need to be on your card. Do you specifically cater to Porsche and BMW cars? You card makes it look that way to the customer. Consider using one pic of a car as a background and lower the opacity. This will give you more real estate for text and your customers won't think you only detail expensive foreign brands.
 
The cutouts need work. I would only keep one car and not both and I would loose the emblems.
 
Haha I think people would understand that the card wasn't finished... of course I wouldn't print the cutouts that way hahah... sorry I'm just picturing handing out cars that look like someone cut out magazine pictures with scissors and glued them onto the cards...



Anyway, I agree with pretty much all the comments... I think I need to get rid of 1 car and put something else there, but I have no clue what yet...

I also will get rid of the porsche and bmw faded signs as said above, but again, don't know what to put yet...

Justin I think that's a good idea, and I have though of Car Detailing Specialist, but Auto Detailing Specialist might be even better... I'll play around with both see what looks better...



Thanks again for the input, I'll post new cards as I edit them...



Do you guys like the background though or no? Is it too boring ?

You're new improvements make the card look 1000 times better! Nice job!



Thanks... the first post was just an idea for the card... I cleaned up the Porsche and got rid of the rest... any suggestions on the card in it's current state above, such as alignment of the text, etc... or is it ok?
 
I like the way everything is setup right now - On the right hand side of the card do you plan to put starting rates for vehicles, services you provide? They aren't necessary Im just curious

No.... idk if you read the first post at all haha, but I plan on putting a photo of something... it might end up being text also, but it will definitely not be all text... oh and services maybe, pricing no. I'm thinking of putting pretty much all the text on the back, that's why I want to make the front just simple but attractive, with only the simple info like name, email etc...



I'll post some pics of the back when I'm done, but I'm not sure where to go with that yet... I had an idea of making the whole back glossy black, and then in the middle of the card putting my name, number, etc.... by the looks of it though, I think the back will also include a bigger image covering one side/coming in off the edge and the other side I'll list services or something like that
 
Looks good, if you need someone to make you a logo I have someone who can do it pretty cheap probably. If you need to PM me.
 
Move text to right side, add a phone number line, maybe a motto line and if you are mobile or a storefont (address or "moble") maybe?



Use Auto instead of Car, looks better IMO
