There is something truly fascinating about beautiful business card designs, I can look at them for ages in awe of their respective simple and sometimes complex designs. Having a beautifully designed business card get have lasting effects on your business. I for one have a huge collection of business cards that I keep to build contacts and provide visual inspiration. In this post I am going to focus on typography in business card design.

Beautiful! I love Graphic Design Ninja so simple yet utterly effective. ‘Twil be an inspiring bookmark when I finally get around to my own card designs =]
Evil Mad Scientist Lavatories? lol
Is it Evil Scientist Laboratories? Or Evil Scientist Lavatories? Am I not getting the joke, or did we forget to check for typos? Or is it all an elaborate hoax designed to get me on your mailing list? Hmmm…

The Kaab Studios card with the brushed chrome look on the back is very well done. Love that look. And the ilt card with the debossed print… so simple, yet so awesome!
The Rhino card is my favorite, great logo, and texturing the card that well is impressive.
Rhino and ILT looking sharp. Great examples, keep em coming.
Rhino and Ninja are my fav, but Kyle’s is pretty effective for a print studio.

Thanks for featuring my card (Graphic Design Ninja)! It started out as a joke, though I’m glad some folks like it.
Truly inspired. A tweet to this article came just at the right time when we are thinking seriously about slick business card designs for ourselves, for a client and for an upcoming project. Keep it coming. Thanks.
I chose to check out David Boni (Graphic Design Ninja) http://davidboni.net/ – And the simplicity of the message on his In Construction Page is simply brilliant.
rhina or rhino?
[...] Wo blieben wir letzte Woche stehen? Bei den Fonts. Scheint diese Woche ein wichtiges Thema in der Bloggerwelt gewesen zu sein. 60 Websiten die Fonts gezielt einsetzen und welche Aufgabe die Darstellung für den User hat. Fonts unterliegen ebenfalls Modetrends, aktuell scheinen Brush fonts gross im Kommen. Auch Webdesignerwall gibt den Fonts eine grosse Bedeutung in den wichtigsten Designtrends 2010. Ich bin gespannt, ob wir in der Schweiz ebenfalls vermehrt individuelle Fonts sehen. Wie diese eingefügt werden? typekit.com ist ein guter Start. Zum Abschluss Fonts weit weg vom Computer und auf Visitenkarten. [...]
I have seen the Rashad Huree business card on other inspiration sights, and tons of cards like it.
Holding shift while rotating your name on the front of your business card does NOT make it a good design. Angle and asymmetry makes more interesting design, but his card, along with tons of lookalikes that I’ve seen completely rely on it.
It’s a cop out.
cool cards

Hi, David
There are some really gorgeous business cards here – can’t decide which is my favorite! You might be interested in our blog as well – we’re at http://allbusinesscards.com/blog/. Take care!
Those are pretty great ones; hidden stands out for me.
[...] The highlights and off-white paper add a level of interest to these business cards. I really like the alternating typefaces used here too. This card takes a lot of risks, but executes the design really well! Image via inspiredm.com. [...]
