    - Cards will be full color front and back.
    - Horizontal preferred
    - I would prefer a lot of color and it should stand out while also being professional looking.
    - Colors are Blue black and white. I don't mind other colors if you think you have a better idea.
    - Would like card to look similar to these - http://www.pjprintdesign.com/portfolio.php

    Hi, here is what I have come up with so far. Tried to make sure that I kept a clean and professional look, without overloading it with unnecessary graphical elements. Hope you like it.

    Thanks for the entries so far.

    Virtua1337 - I like it but the phone number etc. looks a little off, maybe lined differently. Maybe a little too dark on the front, or it might need more white.

    hs143no - This is about perfect, great job. I didn't think I wanted only white on the front side but I think it looks great. The only suggestion I have is to maybe try some sort of color on the front to see if I can get it a little more attractive.

    totalx90 - I like the amount of color but a little too flat, maybe try some sort of arc like in the portfolio i linked to. also the info text on the front looks kind of odd centered.

    After hs143no's entry I have decided that I don't need so much color on the front. I like all of the entrys so far, very clean and simple, thanks.

    One other person has entered via PM, if the rest of you would like to see it let me know and I will ask that he posts it in the thread.

    MidMido - I like the top one but i don't think the light color in my logo goes with the dark color of the card. Maybe try not using any white background and just making my logo full white and the text full white on the dark background.

    I don't like the bottom one very much, the logo doesnt look very integrated. Plus I am probably not going to order the cards with rounded corners.

    Thanks for your entry.

    m3l1ssh4 - Not crazy about it but I like the creativity. Colors are too soft and I think the shadows and beveled text are a little too detailed.

    Thanks for your entry

    forums.fanatic - good design, do not like the colors, grey isnt attractive enough. Maybe if you changed the colors (use whatever colors you want, even for logo). Also, maybe some gradient rather than flat color.

    Thanks for entering

    watari - Excellent, my 2nd favorite so far.

    Virtua1337 - I think the front is great. Back is good too but I like some other backs a little more.

    Everyone please hold off for now, I am probably going to make a decision soon. I will consider new entries but just know that I think I have probably made my decision already.

    Thanks
