    Not bad. But the color is a little bit too strong for a business card. It would cost you $$$ to make a lot of copies of this card. Try a lighter background color.

    I like the fruit design! What I suggest is to make the background a brighter more saturated green. The dull/dark background vs the brighte cirtrus graphic isn't really a great contrast.

    I'd go with an easy to read sans serif font for the address and phone information. Remember that's what you want to be easily remembered and accessed.

    A little feedback from me :)

    Well, the overall design is nice, neat and enough colourful.
    What I think will look much better if changed is the *Citrus Fruit* font.

    Maybe you can apply one and the same font for both words?

    It will definitely enhance the professional look of your business cards.;)

    Not sure what you have in mind for this particular design,
    I see it looking nice for a golf club membership card, well without the fruit on it :)

    It's nice & clean but the fruit color doesn't match any fruit that I know of. Maybe make it look more like one of their actual products?

    Hm, I find it a better bet to have "unreal" colour here - grabs the attention somehow, in my humble opinion.:rolleyes:

    Always go White for business cards, or black if you are bold enough.

    Matt black or pure white.


    I dont like the font either.

    the graphic is fine, albeit with some colour amends, but the fonts used don't enthuse. Get rid of the background colour, try a funky font for ALL of the type (Helvetica/VAG Rounded will do) using the same colour as your shadow.

    If you were to print these cards it wouldn't make too much difference in price if you used a full bgrnd colour or just the logo as there's more than 2 colours used so it would naturally go to CMYK (full colour printing). Take note though, the requirements for print exceed those for web 300dpi as opposed to 72dpi and obviously the logo would need converting from RGB (assuming that's what the master file is in). As RGB has a far wider gamut than CMYK you'll find some of those colours don't convert too well.
