38 Awe-Inspiring Business Cards of Designers In The Community
The business card is a part of a designer's promotion tool. Whether we're meeting our potential client for the first time or introducing our design service to new people, we can always try to win their heart by using a well-designed business card. If the client were already impressed by our portfolio then we should double the impression by giving a beautiful business card. Perhaps the beautifully designed business card could encourage the client into contacting us.
As inspiration, this time we have collected some examples of business card designs. Every business card was submitted personally by 38 talented designers in the community and we would like to share them with our readers.

The Business card that encourage each individual to keep their unique personality :D
Just an excellent compilation, thank you very much.
Wow, nice businesscard inspiration! Most are really beautiful. I need to redesign my card too!
Some amazing cards here... surely work the inspiation
The Fiverr cardboard box cutout is my favorite in the list, but it's maybe a bit impractical. Too thick to comfortably keep in your wallet and can be easily mistaken to be a piece of packaging waste at quick glance.
I also like Mikmik one. It's simple and has some nice illustrations, though it makes me think of Twitter. Too many cards are taken to the extreme in simplicity. Having just a colored shape or a shiny name on a matte background is starting to get a bit boring. Feels like the card owner doesn't have much to say.
Some of these are really great! However, to be completely honest, I am so sick of designers using the "Helvetica + catch phrase + shift rotate to a 45 degree angle = business card" formula. I think we can dig deeper than that.
Hi,
Wouldn't really call these awe inspiring. Some are good but not much in terms of creativity when it comes to the actual layout of the card. What about Spot UV? Different shapes, foil blocked? Not really thinking outside of the box.
Seen many articles regarding creative business cards, much better collections than these.
such a constructive comment, congrats!
:/
concept wise i agree with Dan, but graphically there are some real jems here.
shape is only interesting if it supports the concept and too often designers just choose an odd shape for the sake of it instead of thinking about purpose, target audience and so fort.
Thanks for puttinh me on that list man!!! very glad you liked my cards, they're really amazing!!!!!
:)
Great collection! Appreciate the recognition
Hi, nice post!
Great samples of business cards like these inspired me in the design of my own temporary card (including the Spot UV effect :)
