That logo makes a sweet image but is very hard to read. Took me a while to work out that it said "We are Colin", but confirmed it after looking at the email. Was very visually popping, but just difficult to read once you were caught.

Hey Colin! There isn't a single Colin in your team :D Yeah - it started off as a weird Blackadder reference and kinda just stuck  We wanted a typically unusual name for what we do. We nearly became Kevin instead! That logo makes a sweet image but is very hard to read. Took me a while to work out that it said "We are Colin", but confirmed it after looking at the email. Was very visually popping, but just difficult to read once you were caught. Thanks for the feedback. I see your point. I think because we've been looking at the logo for quite some time now - we've forgotten originally it was a bit awkward to read. Wish I'd posted these up sooner. Not sure they're going to make it in time anyhow - so will be my day-job business cards instead. Cheers |

Are you sure you want to do live shows drawing business cards for people who just want to exchange their card?

Front Back Last year, the tagline read "We wear pants" which wasn't accurate. This year, I'm attending with main gal. Changes were made. |

So I might have gone a little overboard, but I made a set of 49 drawings in a style I invented (I think) about 10 years back or so. I then taped a cheapy Staples printed card to the back of each, and I was handing them out at the con. Here's the entire set: Figured they would be more memorable if each had its own unique little pic like that.  EDIT: In case the first three are hard to see, here's a link to the photobucket album I was lucky enough to get one of these <3 So very cool! I'm inspired to put this kind of effort into something for next year. |

The best business cards our plain. Shocking? Well the reason I say this is because you want something uniformed. Easy to read and easy to understand. A easy way to make business cards if your cheap is resume paper. Not the cheap paper you use for printing docs. Resume paper is fairly thick. Or you can go down to your local printing shop. Normal charge 50 bucks for a couple hundred cards. An to answer the question how many do you need? You can never have to many. When I first started my business. I sent mine out with xmas cards to family.
Now family of course is going to support you. However, they will take the cards to work and hand them out. For exsample. When I started this company. I did PC repair. Then I moved into online only tech support. Now I make games. Kinda a far step from where I started. But opertunity cane a knocking. So I hope that helps.
