Business Cards: The Next Generation

Remember your first business card? How happy and successful and grown up it made you feel? The way in which you stashed it ever so perfectly in your wallet, the corners sticking out just enough so that someone might, by chance, happen to notice it as you casually opened your wallet? How awesome it made you feel to say “Take my card…” when someone asked for your contact info (work-related or, more typically, not)? Yeah, well, your card sucked. At least in comparison to these. The cards below come from first-impression gurus, men and women who undoubtedly judge a book by its cover, extraordinarily creative minds with exceptionally limitless funds from which they can blow countless sums on business collateral. And now, some of the best of the best are collected here for your viewing pleasure. Be forewarned, however – it’s virtually impossible for you to not see your current card as impossibly inferior and utterly inadequate once you’ve taken a gander at these lookers. Just try not to make your loyal, but clearly substandard, card feel too badly about itself. We can’t all be winners.
