Not yet – they’ve only just introduced regular-shaped cards to their products, and now I can’t decide which of their things I want to buy!

Hi Daniel,

Have you bought any MiniCards from MOO? I’ve yet to try their service for any card type. I think you’re right. The dimension of this logo lends itself very well.

Just having a browse through your portfolio and saw this design - that top image suggests that the logos would look great on Moo mini-cards.

Hello Jiro,

Good question. The client liked the serif type choice, even though I personally favoured sans-serif. Thanks very much for the compliment.

Hi David,
Just curious to know why you decided to use a serif typeface for the copy below the logo? Wouldnt it have given more of a blockier impression as an san serif or slab serif?

(ps. great blog, keep up the great work)

Very nice card what color gradient did you use and techniques to get that red color fade on the front ?

Its a nice design and I think you covered the point of showing a strong logo very well. The type itself is bold enough to know the strength of the company. I also like the way you have adjusted the copy matter behind. It looks quite strong and yet very simple.

Ed,

Good point about handing the card red side up. Sometimes I hand my card with the foil blocking side up, to be sure it’s noticed.

The foil is a subtle addition, but costly, so I want to make the most of it.

Santosh,

Thanks very much.

For me, red side would be the front and on the back leave the text positioning and lose the logo, since it is already on the “front”.

If I were your client I would hand it out red side up. More powerful.

I like the simplicity.
