    Contest is for a new business card. Our current card is dated and I would like to see a new updated design.

    Contest Details - $40 sent via paypal upon end of contest. I reserve the right to cancel the contest if no submissions meet what we're looking for (never had to do this though!). All rights for the logo transferred to me upon payment. Expect the logo to be CMYK @ 300dpi or greater. The original file to be sent to me so that we can edit it and make changes.

    Please use the Vistaprint Photoshop or Illustrator Template. If needed you can download it from their website or http://www.reconatl.com/img/Templates.rar

    Design - I don't want to limit any design ideas but we would like the colors to be based around our logo (black and gold). We are looking for a clean and professional looking card. I'll provide detailed feedback for every entry that is submitted so read the feedback and that should help you gauge what we like and don't like.

    Please do not PM submissions to me, I need others in my office to have access to view them online.

    Luka - ty, we are looking for the gold and black colors to be the main colors of the card though.

    I have used blue because it's the color of trust and security. But since you want black and gold I will give it a re-design.

    By the way vvvjeb could you link some business card designs that you (or your clients) like?

    Cheers!

    Appreciate the submissions so far.

    Luka - here is my last contest for a business card that was for my other company https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/40-business-card-contest.2701595/
    Scot - the design is a bit plain and I don't really like the shadow on our logo.
    aryciul - it's ok, again I don't really like the shadow on our logo
    ktnptkr - sorry, don't really like this design
    jreign - not a bad design but the colors look a bit off. it's a little hard to read as well
    puttu - sorry, don't really like the design

    biili - I like the colors but I'm not a big fan of the design
    jreign - nice looking card. I wonder if the text on the back is too small to read though. I may ask you for an edit after discussing it with a couple other people.

    Thanks.
