I'm trying to design a new business card for The New Mission Workshop (my gig), from the dowdy old one:

To one I thought reflected a more sassy, hip and clean look:

NMW Bus Card

So what are your thoughts on the new one?

When you say "Can't see the new one" - do you mean you literally can't see it, or, you don't like it? Unfortunately, it's white on white background, so you have to kinda use your imagination to see the outline of the card.

Patrick i must say i like them both but like Dave i have never generated leads through my business cards but what i do do is sent out postcards they tend not to be thrown away so easyerly

i mainly use my business cards through the trade or when i send out a invioce i put one in the enverlope out of curtisy

I agree about the font. Although the resoulution on a monitor is only 72 dpi, and the printed card would be 300 dpi - about 4X sharper. Still, I think it could be a bit bigger.

I don't really intend to make a sale on a business card; it's just a business necessity, a standard. However, I think a good looking card does say something positive about your business.

I'm not a graphic designer, but you shoud start at the top left and run your message to the lower right. so at eth very least, I would put your name and contact info on the other side at the bottom. Get rid of three the four corners and move a big one to the top left or design a logo to go there.
